I would like to get done today:
Bathroom
Dining Room
Living room
Laundry
and then we'll see what else I have up my sleeve! LOL

| I have two lists in a constant state of flux. There is the everday chore list and the Please God can we get this fixed list. On the Please God list there is the window on the garage that have been broken for 10 years. The bathroom, lets just say the whole bathroom, the roof, the fencing for the dogs, the wood pile (eeewww more wood, again big sigh), the trim in the house, you know all the stuff that takes more money and time then I have right now. The rest is all maintainence, dishes, laundry, canning, scrubbing floors, walls, and weeding. ect.... |

I've actually attended workshops on how to keep the house clean without being overwhelmed. What it basically boils down to is what fits your schedule and your routine preference. I've made index cards with daily chores spread out over the week, the month and then seasonal cleanings. I'm not this organized and yet it did help me fine tune my own routine. One thing that was consistent with everything I've read/heard, and that is picking up the clutter daily is important. It'll help keep the place looking neat even when it hasn't been scrubbed in awhile.
I personally try to do most of my housecleaning in one morning. And then I'll spot clean throughout the week as needed. I have two teenagers, an inside dog and cat plus a husband that adores piling things everywhere to keep up with. So nothing is fool proof or 100% company ready. I've just come to the realization that if the neighbor stops in and it's messy, then maybe they won't worry so much about me dropping in unannounced for a visit and catching them with a messy house. I've come a long way from someone who used to dust the family pictures on the wall and then take a level to them afterwards so they hung perfectly.
