I have stayed home all week trying to get caught up. Laundry and cleaning everyday. I am getting there making some progress. I have to be home to do this. Problem is I have not been to Costco or the grocery store because I am home cleaning. So now by the end of the week we have no bread, milk, eggs, nothing. Yesterday I fed the girls the last bread for lunch and could find nothing for me. So I made pasta only to find we had no spaghetti sauce. Noddles and parmesan cheese not so yummy.
I did discover that cleaning the house (deep cleaning) at night was a better method. This way when I was done it was clean. When I do it during the day the interuptions are unbearable and the mess I discover in the rooms I am not in, just leaves me spinning. So thats my new idea.
Off to hit the gym, take Jacob to school, grocery store and Costco, then ski lesson drop offs ...

It sounds like you have a busy day.
I really dislike cleaning the house when the kids are awake. You have one room clean and they are busy messing all the others up. AAAHHHHH!!!!
Have a great weekend.
Oy, your making me tired. When you're done want to give it a go at my house? ;)
I know exactly what you are talking about. I had the house picked up last night so I got on my tredmill this morning. (big mistake) The boys climed up and got a box of cereal. (even thought they had already had breakfast) You probalby know what happened next. I just try to remind myself of the saying. Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walks while it is still snowing. Good luck to us all!!!
I agree cleaning at night lasts so much longer. I'll clean in teh morning and it's a mess by the time the kids go to bed drives me crazy! Sounds like a busy day...
I am amazed!! Want to come help me??
I have been spending a lot of time at home cleaning too! Sure is saving me money hee hee!!
That's why I'm always up until 1 and 2 am. I have been rearranging one of our rooms and cleaning all day, but when the kids are awake they just mess up what I've just cleaned. So, I like to clean at night. That way I wake up and everything is nice, clean, and neat. Then when the kids start throwing toys everywhere it doesn't seem so bad!! LOL! Its great you go to the gym. It seems like it'd be a great way to get away and spend some quality time by yourself.
I feel you! I just wish that I could do the cleaning at night. I suppose that I could, i just don't want to.
I can't bring myself to clean at night.......besides, if you are cleaning, then that means you are not in bed getting the rest you need! :)
you are a busy woman! i feel like everytime i turn around we are out of everything. we just went to the grocery store today, and i tried to get enough stuff to last for two weeks, but i know it probably won't!
Love the post! I can't go to bed with a dirty house. I agree 100% on cleaning up at the end of the day, although I find myself doing pick up all day long!
I agree with Angie and Shannon. I SHOULD clean at night, but I like my sleep too much! Hope you had a great weekend!
Love your blog! I just can't bring myself to clean at night, that's my time to chill by myself.
I do have a rule during the day that no one eats until the toys in the living room are put away. That way my living room is clean at least 3 times a day :o).
You make me feel guilty. I did the dishes last night...
