Default Messy days

It's harder for us when DH is home because we're off routine. And Saturday/Sunday there is rarely a cleaning thread, which I use a lot because I like the company.

Default Re: Messy days

I get the place clean for my brother coming on a Friday, it's usually pretty nice by then. Then saturday it falls apart BIG TIME. Monday I start picking it up and get it okish, but it falls apart again the rest of the week. Big clean Friday and we're back on the cycle. It frustrates me.

I get all lazy when DH is around, too. Unfortunately, he has been working less lately than he ever has so . . . yeah, my house isn't looking so great.

I don't have designated "messy days" (except maybe Sat and Sun) but I do have this weird cycle of several days where I'm really motivated, then several when I just don't care, then repeat.

I oftentimes have to work on weekends, writing, and dh hangs out with dd, which means they destroy the house and do no housework.
