Cleaning Routine

Home Sweet Home ... right?  Not right, if your house is a mess!

Being home means I am becoming anal about keeping things tidy and clean.  As anal as I can be while pregnant, that is.

I've decided to pick a day to clean something on a certain floor of the house.  This is what I mean:

Monday - Second Floor - Kids Floor
     Tidy both rooms and bathroom
     Collect trash and empty diaper pails
     Put away clean laundry and collect dirty clothes
     Pick one extra thing to do (Ex. bathroom, vacuum, go through clothes etc.)

Tuesday - First Floor - Main Floor
     Tidy
     Pick one project (Organize a closet, clean windows, vacuum, etc.)

Wednesday - Basement - Where Small Group Meets
    Tidy
    Vacuum
    Bathrooms

Thursday, Friday, Saturday
     Anything that needs to be done
    Go back to first floor, work outside, etc.

Sunday - Relax

Then there is, of course, the everyday list of chores that need to be done such as ...
      Bathe the children
      Cook and clean up dinner
      Clean spills, messes, stains
      Etc, etc, etc, etc and ETC!!!

It never takes me more than an hour and a half to finish any of these things. So I am not over doing it. I've found by keeping a routine like this, keeps the house pretty tidy and clean all the time.  One day I hope to be at the point where things are clean, the house just needs a good tidying up.
