My co-blogger, Amy, got a wonderful gift for her wedding anniversary. Filbert got her a maid for a day! What an awesome gift. (Can you see my face turning a dark shade of jealous?)
I rarely pull out the vacuum or dust my house. Sometimes, when I don't fall asleep right away, I vow to myself "tomorrow will be the day!" But I rarely pull through and make good on my vow. Ask my husband, Mr. Bean. He'll tell you that most days when he's at work, I don't do much more than empty the dishwasher. Other days, he comes home and I have boxes for him to throw in storage, clean countertops, dusted furniture, paid bills, clean cars, filed paperwork, and a myriad of other household chores completed. I tend to do all my work in one day instead of spreading it out over a week or month.
I really should be more vigilant in keeping house. I am sure it would make my husband happier. I just get caught up in playing with String Bean or seeing what the ladies on the View are arguing about today. Before I know it, its 4:30 and I expect Mr. Bean home within the hour.
Maybe tomorrow I'll come up with a plan for tackling the duties of the stay-at-home-mom. (The keyword is "mom" not "housekeeper." *wink*)

There are days after working 8 hours and driving home from work ... you just want to relax .. by not doing any housework, cook ... just watch tv, or take a long bubble bath, etc......
I tend to do the samething...altough for some reason this pregnancy is still making me sleepy so I opt to sleep when Avery is down for a nap. When I do get a burst of energy I get all my cleaning done in one day. I'm teaching myself to spread it out durning the week. Easier said than done.
I try to spread it out during the week, but the weekend is always here before I know it. I tend to do most stuff on Saturday or Sunday afternoon. (Yes, I do work on the Lord's Day!) One thing I've found to always help motivate me to keep the house clean is to have company. Frequently. It works every time! ;)
I can totally relate to this. Ladybug and I get so busy with all the typical toddler stuff and the house doesn't clean itself.
They grow up too fast. Worry about the dust bunnies later!
Thanks, Mandie, for visiting my blog and commenting. Have a great day!
