What a day! Woke up, fed the boys, went to the gym, fed the boys and then the cleaning began once the naps were intiated! I can not believe how dirty a house can get when you "feel" like you pick up a little everyday? What grosses me out more is that the large percentage of the yuck is our dead skin cells leaving their ugly presence known. I had a large amount of energy yesterday once I had put the boys down for a nap. I am not sure if it is because of my recent induction back into the world of fitness or if I just knew it needed to get done? Either way, I was thankful for it and didn't take it for granted at all. I felt like I was on an adrenaline high because I was able to get so much done.
Part of my job as a stay at home Mom is keeping the home kept. Its a very difficult and at times overwhelming responsibility. So much redundancy involved in the daily chores but you do it because you love those that you're doing it for.
I have gotten a lot of tips, advice and suggestions on what to do to make my everyday life of a "house keeper" easier and more efficient. I've tried to attempt those but overall just decided to do it the best I can hoping that I can keep the house for the most part presentable. We lived in a 1680 (give or take a few square feet) sq foot house in Nebraska and when we moved out here bought a 3000 sq foot house. Almost doubling the amount of our space which was great but also doubled my work load. I hope that each day I can keep putting forth the effort to get more done everyday around the house to keep a more organized home for my family.
It takes a lot of energy and a lot of determination to keep a clean house. I don't often accomplish this as good as I know I can but I try my hardest to put forth the effort to at least try as much as I can.
It is my hope that as the kids get older that I can have more of an organizational routine that suits me and compliments our lifestyle. Until then, I'm trying my best to keep my head above water with diaper changes, breast feeding, potty training, and toy management!
My best wishes to all of you in your house keeping endeavors. :)
