My two most recent (very slacker) blog posts were about how I couldn't even keep up with basic chores-laundry, dishes, & paperwork. I feel guilty when I get way behind b/c I wonder what I do all day. I've finally gotten into a routine and while I still can't keep track of papers and don't file stuff, I figure 2/3 is good. <br />Something I've found helps me feel better is that I do a "to do" list, and while it's great to check things off, sometimes we spend hours, or days, doing things that weren't on that list. Fix-just add them! If you didn't get the dishes washed, but you did vacuum, write it down. If you had cereal for dinner b/c you were playing w/ E, write that down. Playtime (for Mommy and/or the kids) is just as important, or more so, as sweeping. <br />Let me know if you want me to help you get caught up on anything. That's always my struggle-once I'm behind, I feel like I can never catch up, so I just give in. When you're no longer drowning in laundry, it's much easier to just 1 or 2 loads, instead of the 8 that are piled up.
