let me pencil you in

i made myself a 'chore chart' because i feel like my house is eternally un-clean (not messy, CLEAN) even though i am non stop cleaning... ahhh. so i decided to clean the house from top to bottom and organize a lot of spaces and then set up a schedule that is totally manageable but will keep our house clean all week long... it goes as follows

MONDAY
water flowers
vacuum
sweep all floors
dust

TUESDAY
waterflowers
sweep all floors
mop all floors
completely clean kitchen

WEDNESDAY
water flowers
vacuum
sweep all floors

THURSDAY
water flowers
sweep all floors
mop all floors
completely clean bathroom

FRIDAY
water flowers
vacuum
sweep all floors

SATURDAY
grocery shopping

obviously this includes everyday doing the dishes, which i've been doing all day long or once in the morning and once when we go to bed so it never gets piled up... its cool because having this schedule makes everything soooo much faster and easier, just knowing what exactly i need to do that day makes it go by so fast, plus shopping saturday morning is so much better than during the week cause i usually let seth sleep in anyway and then he's here to help me bring it up... plus since i wake up early and in the morning ara is always just wanting to play with her toys alone, i get the assigned cleaning done, do any dishes there are and wipe down the kitchen counters and i have the rest of the day to do whatever i want... it feels so nice to constantly be walking on clean floors and to feel free to run other errands, do the laundry, just be with my friends, be able to help my friends and feel like everything else is already in place.... its a new life for me.

*my house is not very big so sweeping and mopping consists of like 20sq feet... ok maybe not that small, but very small.
