Whistle While You Work

All right, finally I am able to sit down and blog ... Benjamin is in bed (crying) and I am taking a few moments now before I go to bed myself.

Right now, amongst the smell of fermented juice that apparently sprayed all over the room (I was getting ready for Bible Class - Hubby was the one who witnessed this marvel), I am going to blog further about my cleaning system that I always sometimes stick to. It's ironic, isn't it? I'm blogging about cleaning while I suffer the stench of a juice bottle I should have taken care of a while ago.

Anyway, if you remember this post, I briefly mentioned our system of cleaning. It was noted that it really wasn't easily viewed, so I decided I would elaborate for those who are interested. Here's our schedule guideline:



Monday - Laundry, Vacuum
Tuesday - Bonus Room, Kitchen
Wednesday - Bathrooms, Wash Towels, Vacuum
Thursday - Kitchen, Laundry
Friday - Bedrooms, Dust, Vacuum

And Saturday and Sunday are my days off from my schedule (mainly because I will spend those days catching up on the stuff I've missed).

Optional: Whistling while you work.

Like I said, this is more of a guideline than a schedule. This week has been very busy and I am ailing with a very hurt shoulder (pinched nerve?), so I haven't gotten as much done as I am supposed to. But I have tried. And that's the thing. As long as I put a good amount of effort into this, I don't feel as bad if everything doesn't get crossed off during the day. And of course, when Ben needs me and wants to play, he is who I am concentrating on, not my house. The housework will be there when I get done playing, who else is going to do it? (I joke - I woke up one morning to a couple of baskets all folded - thanks to a sweet hubby who stayed up late doing that for me!)

And there you have it! This is what works for us (unless, of course, you have a really sore shoulder). It may not work for you, but if you want to give it a shot, go for it!

Ben is out of bed, by the way, and standing beside me (holding onto the couch) crying. So I suppose that is my cue to say Good Night to the blogging world, and attempt to say Good Night to Benjamin once more.

Phew.
