Confession Time
I have to admit. I had invited friends over today and after inviting them had looked around my house and realized I had not really cleaned since before my son was born. Sure I have picked up, done dishes and laundry, wiped off counters, scrubbed the toilet when it disgusted me, but the place was really in a sad state. Anyway, with some help from my husband, I spent much of Sunday and Monday doing some deep cleaning. The whole place looks and feels so much better. So I have to ask, how long do you reckon you spend cleaning a day? I would bet that without doing deep cleaning I probably spend about 2-3 hours just on housework (this does not involve anything childcare related). My kids definitely suffered from the amount of time I put in the last few days, but if I could just find one more hour a day doing deeper cleaning I could pretend to maintain. Of course summer is coming and there is going to be outside projects to add in... Anyone want to share? How do you keep up?

It's impossible. I have come to that conclusion. I am hiring a new woman to help out over here. With a large house, new baby and a bunch of older kids, I can't keep up and keep my sanity.
Cleaning. Blah.
I just do what I can and don't do what ends up at the bottom of the list...
Gee, I dunno if there's enough space for my confession.lol If you add up what I do all day, it's probably 2-3 hours. Then, on the weekends I usually spend a lot of time trying to get the bigger stuff done. But does my house look clean? NO! You don't want to look at my kitchen floor, it's scary.;) I keep thinking if I could just get more organized about it I could spend less time cleaning w/ better results. Most of the time, I just limp by until someone I don't know very well or my in-laws are coming then I clean like mad. If you find the answer to getting it all done, SHARE!
