But the problem is I have no energy by then after working full time and coming home to be Mom to my two kids 3 and under with no husband around to help in the evenings. Until then I&#39;ll have to learn to love my filth :)Shanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15555434309208293358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095897763607727797.post-78178791505125349432009-10-19T12:43:13.711-07:002009-10-19T12:43:13.711-07:00This is a post i did on chore charts at my house.<br /><br />http://theivanovskys.blogspot.com/2009/07/kids-job-and-chore-charts.html<br /><br />Tiffany <br />mylitter.comThe Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02179317748294915560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095897763607727797.post-55519702358291905692009-10-19T05:28:04.303-07:002009-10-19T05:28:04.303-07:00I think I am in your boat too!~~<br />I don&#39;t have a schedule at all. For the past several months I have really gave up on the fighting to get stuff done. I used to have a lady come in once a month and do the major stuff. (dust, clean the floors &amp; stuff like that) But bless her heart she up and died on me. I know that sounds bad but dag..I used to be so strict about having a clean house but as the years go by it just doesn&#39;t get done. I am interested on seeing what people tell you also. Ya know, it really is nice to know you are not the only one!
