Have you ever noticed that certain tasks in your house take on a life of their own? The work seems to multiply in an unearthly way? I feel this way about most forms of housework. Surprise? Not so much. It seems every time I get a room clean, I walk out and come back later to a messy room that I haven't even visited. I wash all the dishes, go to sleep and wake up to a sink full. I know, in reality, that this is not true. I washed the dishes before dinner; that was my mistake, but I like to cook in a clean kitchen. Then, I want to sit down and enjoy dinner with my family at whatever unreasonable time it is finished, and by the time I think about cleaning it up, I just want to go to bed. I need to put a schedule into practice for keeping my house clean, but I can't seem to get it down. I have several of these little calendars pinned on Pinterest for cleaning schedules, organizing in 30 days, etc. What's stopping me? Motivation, time that I feel doesn't exist, wanting to have free time, caring for a very needy baby... What's your excuse? Or do you get everything done before you go to bed every night?
