My brain is full!
Seriously...if I tried to sit down and write out all the daily weekly important big little teeny tiny things I have to keep track of it would take all day! One thing I have noticed with the addition of child number 5 in our home is that my mind has a hard time keeping track of the little things. Things like when the last time that I washed the sheets, or the last time I mopped the floor. I wish I could say that having a scheduled day that I just remembered worked, but things always seem to come up and it gets postponed and then I forget. I don't know how many times I have thought..."I will just do it tomorrow!" and then tomorrow comes and life gets busy and before you know it I haven't mopped the kitchen in 3 weeks!
(quick peek inside my mind: Sometimes when I know I have a whole house to clean I end up just sitting there doing nothing because I don't even want to get started. Somehow in my mind I have to get it ALL done THAT day and I can't even enjoy my down time because I feel guilty for not having all my chores done!)
So today I sat down and tried to tackle my cleaning schedule. I have things I like to do every week, every other week, once a month...and I would like to try and attempt some Spring Cleaning this year. So I decided to utilize Google Calendar on my computer. One thing I do know is that I am really good at checking my email! So google calendar will send me an email every day reminding me what I have decided to clean that day. You can even set stuff for every other week, or once a month too! I also scheduled one area of the house to try and spring clean each week. I hope that by giving myself the whole week it will actually get done! I also hope that by having just a few things to do each day I won't feel overwhelmed because everything has a scheduled time to get done!
Wish me luck!
