* Lists *

I am a list girl. I need lists, I love lists and I make lists for EVERYTHING! Sometimes I even like to ADD things to my list just so I can cross it off. It's a weird satisfaction that I get looking at a list and crossing off what I have completed.

Anyway, because I make a list for everything I finally made myself a list for cleaning. It's more of a cleaning schedule than a list and I had been thinking about making one for quite sometime I just FINALLY did it though.

I made something up on Publisher and printed it just now. It's a basic list/schedule of what needs to be cleaned and when it needs to be done.

Before I had kids I would just spend one Saturday morning cleaning the whole place and I was done for the week, with touch up's on the kitchen and such but nothing major. Now that I have little one's it's almost impossible to keep anything in my home clean for a long period of time if I'm not constantly cleaning. I don't want to be constantly cleaning because I want to have the time to enjoy my two precious treasures as well.

I decided with this list that instead of frustrating myself and not getting everything I want done in one day I will instead break everything up in to smaller tasks through out the week.

I am going to start this new plan next week and see how it works out for me. I should start meal planning next I have a binder and everything I just have not felt inspired to do that yet. Cooking is a bit stressful to me and I guess this would be helpful but for now I'm happy I have my cleaning schedule made up.

Let's see how this next week goes. Looking forward to a tidy house (most of the time)!
