Way to go!
How are you doing at putting routines into place for maintenance? That's where I tend to stumble, I can get something clean but then *keeping* it clean...

Cool! Where do you want to start?
Starting small probably works better than implementing one giant routine, because that can seem overwhelming at first. So what's your *biggest* frustration, usually? Kitchen? Kids' toys? Laundry? You might pick a couple of small things. For instance, all the kids doing a 5-minute cleanup of toys before bedtime, and making yourself do one load of laundry, start to finish (put away in drawers/closets or as close as you can manage with the furniture you have) every day.

Default Re: I am not an organized person

starting and maintaining a maintenance schdeule is so hard but it so SUPER rewarding. One thing I found to keep kitchen and dishes done, DO NOT have more than enough of anything than ONE day. When I had enough dishes to last us 3-4 days Iwas always putting it off but when i was forced to ONLY have enough for one day it got done and since it was such a small amount it was so much easier to get it done. I cut clothes down to 7 days worth of clothes that was about 1 load of laundry for each person and i ha set up days to do each person. I know it sounds hard and it was but once i had forced the issue (and i had to push myself so hard sometimes I wanted to cry) it got easier and easier. So maybe just start with cutting down to 3 bowls and 3 plates per person and 3 sets of silverware also. I truthfully did 2 each and was ok.

That's really rough with the dishes/sink! I have heard that some people will get a cleaning bucket and put it under the sink. They rinse all the dishes as they get used and put them in the bucket until it's wash up time. I don't know if that would help you or not.

Well, that's a pretty major accomplishment for the day! But I'm sorry you had a headache after. Hopefully it's eased off by now?

Default Re: I am not an organized person

i slept off most of the headache yesterday afternoon, then brought the kids to a friends house where we stayed most of the evening.
slept most of the morning... the rain drained my energy.
managed to pick toys up from the dining room, and living room, washed a few dishes and cooked me some food. I am amming for more dishes tonight only a hand full left..mostly silverware which i hate washing.
Laundry defintly needs to not.be ignored. i find myself not doi g it without a place for it. cuz it seems i always wash clean clothes that get scattered about.but i cant ignore it much longer.
i already feel good about the toy par down. i am glad my kids are getting into ages where the toys will start to decrease.
