I plan meals for the week and I so the laundry each weekend and try to clean what I can then too. It just doesn't happen during the week....too much with working (and blogging) and all. Just be glad you have a kid- you can blame E for the mess for many years to come! ;)Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156212038739784644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411191833261267894.post-11726313080827043132008-03-13T15:46:00.000-04:002008-03-13T15:46:00.000-04:00I'm leaving a comment even though I'm not the supe...I'm leaving a comment even though I'm not the super organized mom...Can I blame the mess on my husband???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411191833261267894.post-24546283249936824882008-03-13T15:04:00.000-04:002008-03-13T15:04:00.000-04:00The only tip I have is to not have children.

O..."I am like Felix and Oscar trapped in one body." Oh, I so hear ya! I feel so schizophrenic! <BR/><BR/>I read on someone's post (can't remember who now) that they set a timer and do whatever they can do in a 20/30/45 minute period. I kinda like that idea and it has worked for me (plus I think I burn some extra calories moving so fast). I don't feel stressed. The house isn't always PERFECT (far from it), but it never gets too out of hand (at least not before a weekend when both daddy and mommy can do damage control). <BR/><BR/>Here's to hopin' those kitties return home :)Laskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12001998549713092381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411191833261267894.post-32151951319242334462008-03-13T10:00:00.000-04:002008-03-13T10:00:00.000-04:00Not the it has actually happened yet but I try to ...Not the it has actually happened yet but I try to break cleaning the rooms in the house down by days of the week. Every time my house has been given a good cleaning I think to myself okay tomorrow I'll reclean the bedrooms, the next day will be bathroom day and the day after that will be kitchen day ...Unfortunately just keeping up with the basics like dishes and laundry seem to be too daunting at times so my plan never gets carried through. It also doesn't help that I've passed the messy gene on to Madison who welcomes every guest by saying "Want to come play in my messy room?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411191833261267894.post-16584895190549133762008-03-13T08:57:00.000-04:002008-03-13T08:57:00.000-04:00not super organized here, but I do try to keep a t...not super organized here, but I do try to keep a tidy house. I try to spread things out and the weekly things I do one a day (laundry, floors, bathrooms, etc...) I pick up the toys every time Blake naps and then right after he goes to bed (we are beginning to work on getting him to help with this... hahaha... yeah I know that is a pipe dream!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688642209556861948noreply@blogger.com
