Have any of you ever cleaned house like this??
0930 am:
time to start the laundry...
go up stairs to gather the laundry
make my bed.
bring laundry down stairs
oops-I need to rewash the load I forgot to change yesterday.
fold blankets on the family room floor
realize that the dishes need to be done
gather dishes and put them in the sink
find a toy that needs to go upstairs
walk through the living room and notice that it needs to be vacuumed
but has to be picked up first
start to pick up the toys and take them upstairs.
walk by the front door and find a coat that needs to be hung up.
go to the closet and find more dirty clothes-add them to the huge pile in the family room
refold the blankets from earlier (thank you Kadin)
see that the blocks have been pulled out, dumped, and left.
clean up the blocks
finally take the toys upstairs (dumping them in the hall-knowing that I have a ton of stuff to do upstairs but wanting to get down stairs done first)
drink some Caffeine
notice that a child spilled juice all over the counter(including some important papers)
clean up the mess
switch laundry-adding another load to the 2 on the couch from yesterday
start to make lunch
start to empty dishwasher
forgot to start dryer-start dryer
give the kids lunch
finish emptying dishwasher
load dishwasher
start to fold laundry-pausing twice to take Kadin off the counter
take a load upstairs(to my bed-I will put it away later-I hope)
see Emma's snails and tell her to talk them outside for their fresh air (on nice days she has to let them run around in the grass while I clean their container)
clean the snail container
vacuum the living room (Yea! one room done; as long as the kids do not go back in it!)
start to clean the computer desk
find Emma with scissors cutting paper (not hair) clean that up
take Kadin off the counter
fold more laundry
cut apple for kids
eat cookie-drink more caffeine (okay you can just add this every couple of minutes)
refold the laundry that was dumped on the floor while I was getting the apple
check email
clean off kitchen counters
start sweeping
take Kadin off the counter-again
sit down to eat a hot dot
take Kadin off the counter 5 more times
switch laundry
fold laundry-pausing only once to take Kadin off the counter
put Kadin down for his nap
rest and blog
things to finish before Kevin gets home:
clean off the kitchen table (that is where I put everything that I find while I clean up that belongs somewhere besides where I found it)
finish cleaning the computer desk
finish sweeping and mop the kitchen and hall
clean 3 bathrooms
vacuum the family room and upstairs
pick up and clean all 3 children's bedrooms
make dinner
yep-you guessed it-that's never going to happen! Who says that a stay at home mom doesn't work for a living!?

...I'm now tired... It's NEVER a good idea to write that all down, it just makes ya more tired! :-D Oh how very true though...it's enough to drive you insane! 'A' FOR EFFORT!!! I will NOT be writing a list like this...however my Status Updates on Facebook had some similarities yesterday... ;-)
I am there!!! SO tired today. My kiddos/husband have been sick (someone) for 3 months. It seems I almost get it and then it falls apart because someone else gets a "bug."
I am glad I have them, though. But I understand--I need a spa day! Anyone (aka, honey=) wanting to volunteer the $$$ ? He did order pizza today, so he is a keeper=)
Love to you and yours=)

I know exactly how you feel!! Just think if you drank hot coffee you would have had to add reheat coffee about 10 times to that list. Sure hope today you get to relax and enjoy you clean house that of course will stay that way for a week! Ha ha.
Amen to that. One of the tops on my list would be, "put ALL the books back on the bookshelf" again. With lists like that every day, and not writing them down to remember, makes me look back and wonder what I am doing all day and without feeling like I am accomplishing much.
