So Here Is My Game Plan for Today....

I have bacoodles of laundry to do, and I mean BACOODLES! I probably have 4-5 loads plus all the sheets and comforters need to be washed.

I will begin washing laundry. If there are any clothes in the dryer (which I am sure there is because my hubz is world's worst to start laundry and not finish it past the dryer) then I will go ahead and fold and put those away.

My next game plan is to take on the living room, because it really isn't that bad. After I have put away all of the kid's toys and clothes (they like to strip in the living room for some reason) and vacuumed, I will have a clean living room. Then I will feel really good and feel like I accomplished something today.

By the time I am finished with the living room, I can empty the washer into the dryer. I can, then, start another load. Then, I am off to clean my dining room (not so bad) and kitchen (Oh, it is ugly). It will probably take a while in the kitchen because I always like to scrub down everything with bleach water in there. I will probably come across 10-15 little handprints on the walls and appliances if I get down on my knees, so I may have to break out the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. When all is said and done with, I will have a clean kitchen with a shiny sink.

Okay, so I could go on and on about every detail that I plan to do today,  but you guys would get bored. As I sit here writing this, I realize that I am going on and on just to put off cleaning. So I am off here, and onto the living room!

I Slipped....A-G-A-I-N

So, here I am again...months later. I think about this blog everyday.  I have been working major hours- around 60 a week. I was also driving an hour to work. So calculating that in, I was gone at least 70 hours out of the week. That doesn't count all my errands that I run.

The house isn't as bad as it once was. However, the floors could be mopped more often. My husband vaccuums about every day. Well, he is the one that keeps it looking presentable- I have done nothing...nothing at all. I should be  and am ashamed. I fell off the wagon hard. It all started when I came down with the flu. I laid on the couch for about a week.

It devastated me that I couldn't even keep my house perfect for 3 months. I think I have been way too hard on myself though.

I want to be the person that when someone walks into my house, they say, "How do you keep this so clean with 3 children?" I know that it is possible because I have walked into perfect houses with children residing there.

So here I am again, ready to start anew- with your permission and encouragement, that is. I cannot do this without my readers advice, opinions, and encouragement. You ladies (and guys) have been awesome!
