I hate housework!! I admit this freely!! I would rather do anything else, including a visit to the dentist then clean my house. Ever since our last adoption possibility fell through I have found myself struggling with the upkeep of my apartment. I have just let depression and feelings of being overwhelmed conflict with my cleaning schedule. Today I decided no more!! So I typed up a schedule for daily cleaning. I intend to laminate and hang it up!!! Soon I will have two babies in the house to tend along with a 5 year old and some times a 7 year old!! I need to be organized!! I do better with check lists and written goals. So in order to really commit myself and keep myself honest,I am posting this on my blog. Anyone else use lists?
