My life is finally getting into a routine, but for some reason I still can't find a way to get ahead of all my chores and projects.
Like today, I got the kids off to school, went to the gym, came home, rocked Jackson and layed him down for a nap, then started cleaning. While I am cleaning, I am thinking...."today is going to be the day....today I am going to clean everything....today I will get more than the kitchen and laundry done...." As I am half way through mopping the kitchen floor, I look at the clock and realize Carson will be home from Kindergarten in a few minutes. I make him a quick lunch at the same time detailing my grand plan in my mind on how I am still going to get so much done.....and then Jackson wakes up from his nap....."OH yeah, this is why I never get anything done! Why do I somehow always forget that it is not my schedule? Someday I guess I need to clean my room first and have the rest of my house look like 3 boys live here.
I'm just wondering if I am the only one that feels this way???
I guess when I am old and my kids are gone, I will sit in my sparkling clean house and wish they would come mess something up.....

I'm the exact same way!
Someday, Amanda, someday!
You definitely aren't the only one who feels that way!!!
no my friend, i feel the same way. it seems like just when i get it clean it's a mess. sometimes i wonder why i even bother.
I feel that way every single day. Little boys are like mice, you know exactly were they've been because they leave a trail of little terds. In my case, it;s toys, crumbs, socks, games, and there's always that sticky residue I can never identify... I could go on and on. But what would we do without them?
I go through this everyday. It helps me a ton if my boys have everything picked up from the floor through the entire house the night before. I also try to have the floor swept and chairs up so I can mop early. There is my 2 cents. But most of the time once my boys are home within 30 mins, you would never guess that it was clean. And I completely agree with you when we are older.....we will definitely want them to come home and mess something up. : ) Maybe that will be the grandkids.
agree!
This is a constant struggle for me too...having boys is so messy! The days that I clean too much I feel guilty and the days that I don't clean at all it becomes a disaster... I am still searching for the balance (and hoping that soon my boys will be old enough to be more of a help around the house!)
