chipping away at the mountain

I've been on a cleaning kick this week, which for me is rare.  I feel as though I'm chipping away at a mountain.  It does feel good to get a few things accomplished though.  The little ones have been helping.  They don't like the idea of cleaning by themselves, but as they see the results, they jump in.  They helped me dust and rearrange pictures yesterday morning and when I came home from my movie yesterday, they had picked their toys up as a "surprise". Teaching them good habits is good motivation to keep chipping away.

I realized last week that the kitchen floor really should be mopped daily.  I'm not thrilled about that, but it's not as big a deal as I would have thought.  It gets easier each day, and it makes me feel like I've accomplished something.  Trying to schedule it less frequently just makes me procrastinate, and the job gets bigger and bigger. I'd rather do a little daily than a lot every once in awhile. Next up, my bathroom, and the piles and piles and piles of papers in the office. I hate that I'm so bad at this. 

First though, I must medicate myself and try to ignore the neck strain and allergies so that I can lend my assistance to the BUNK BED project.  More on that later!

At the end of the day, you don't get any points for a clean kitchen floor.  I decided early in my mothering life that I could be sane, or my kitchen could be spotless.

I don't think I need to tell you which I chose. Although some would argue that I have accomplished neither.

My kitchen will never be spotless. I've been working an extra hour or two every day this week, and the mopping has slipped.  Big time. I'm saving up for a Roomba.
