On top of getting more organized about it the more kids I have (how's that for logic), doing a small group of chores every day (laundry, tidying the floors, etc) I do a room or area every day, taking the weekends off. At first I totally overscheduled myself (who really vacuums the couch every week?), but once I figured out a system I actually started enjoying it. When things start out relatively clean, they're way easier and more fun (yes) to keep clean. I surprised myself with the realization that cleaning the bathrooms are my favourite, as long as I don't let them get nasty. As for the bathroom reno, that will definitely help. I hated cleaning the old bathroom at our last house because nothing could make it look good, but as soon as we redid it, it was my favourite. Then we moved here and into crappy bathrooms again, but whatever... Anyway, I'd clean your house if I lived in town ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33341019.post-67416588080040752192007-04-20T10:55:00.000-04:002007-04-20T10:55:00.000-04:00You said the cleaning company was comign to give y...You said the cleaning company was comign to give you a quote. <BR/>Was their quote something like this? :<BR/><BR/>"Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887436623425463306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33341019.post-87478666312227466902007-04-19T09:54:00.000-04:002007-04-19T09:54:00.000-04:00I, on the other hand, have chosen to embrace my pa...I, on the other hand, have chosen to embrace my pack-ratty-ness :) All of these things WILL come in useful again.

I completely understand the lack of appeal to bathe in a dingy tub, AND I also can sympathize with the not wanting to clean a room which will NEVER look clean anyways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33341019.post-57367724928545189192007-04-18T10:23:00.000-04:002007-04-18T10:23:00.000-04:00Good Good and Good.Good Good and Good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
