I just cleared the floor in the laundry room for the first time in three weeks! Any bets on whether I'll get all the newly-clean stuff folded before I have to clear the table for supper?

HAHAHAHA Not a chance but it would be entertaining to know if you did

Gotta agree with Cep on that one! Maybe you can draft some help? For my kid's B-day I got her a certificate for 4 hours of cleaning from a professional house cleaner.

I still have vague hopes of training my daughter to be some use around the house. She has discovered that she likes the Dyson, so there's potential there.

I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Who knows miracles do happen (usually when the children and partner are not around to prevent them)

In the meanwhile while awaiting for said miracles to occur, of the little ones to grow to vaccuum cleaner button level, may I direct you to a site that saved my disorganised frazzled housecleaning life? www.flylady.net I promise you its worth a look and the effort!

I almost did it! The final load was folded and put away during bedtime, just minutes after the day's freshly dirtied laundry got put in the hamper.

Housework, whats that?

its a dirty word rarely used around here.. *grin*

It also falls in the category of what I'm supposed to be doing instead of goofing off on the computer.
