Do you suffer from CHAOS? Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome? I use to suffer constantly from this. Now, only sometimes. With three little ones under foot it becomes difficult to keep up with everyone and everything, and I am a stay at home mom, so don't ask me how the career women do it.

First, you are never behind, just jump in where you are. One of the main reasons I never wanted to clean was because the ENTIRE house was ALWAYS in need of a good clean. Now I just focus on one task for 15 minutes at a time and quit. Sometimes I might jump back in and do another 15, but with nursing a little one and keeping the two year old occupied, 15 minutes might be all I get. IT IS OKAY!

One of the worst chores I have always hated most was cleaning the kitchen. I hate doing dishes and I even have a dishwasher. My goal every evening~or at least before O gets off the bus at 3:15~ is to get my kitchen sink empty. Who wants to cook supper in a filthy kitchen? I find when my kitchen is clean, it really isn't that hard to cook a healthy meal for my family.

Flylady.net has so many wonderful, helpful advice and tips that I can't list all of it here. She has a step by step plan that many can follow to the letter. Since having children I have noticed that I no longer have a very good attention span. Probably because I am constantly being interrupted and while I enjoy every minute of being mom I have had to custom Flylady to fit my life, and that is okay too.
