I have schedules and routines.I clean the washrooms on Thursdays.

I mop the floors on Wednesdays.Laundry happens everyday.Most days I get a little baking in and I always have a nice square meal on the table at 5:45pm when Chris gets home..

The hard part is in all the little grey areas.They nag and annoy like a sort-of scratchy tag in the side of a new shirt that isn’t quite scratchy enough to go get the scissors and cut out right now.

Is this how it’s supposed to be?

Is this the right way to be a mom/wife/home-maker/house-keeper?She may remember to do it herself, but honestly, I’m pretty sure she doesn’t.. -The stairs definitely haven’t been vacuumed in over 6 months.. -I’ve resorted to cleaning only one of the bathrooms for the time being.

The other one is turning into some kind of science experiment.It’s interesting, I admit.. -I say “Yes” to Kennedy’s requests for candy.

Every time.. -About 100 cups of tea is what gets me through the day.. -The last time I mopped the kitchen floor was, um, a year ago?I wipe things up from time to time, but I’m very non-commital about the whole thing.. -The Christmas wreath on the front door came down around St. Patty’s Day.
