Hope everyone survived Monday, and Tuesday is almost over so we are that much closer to the weekend. So hubby emailed me earlier, asking if a certain pile of clothes was dirty or just never made it onto a hanger. Which happens. (and don't act like it doesn't) So my thought is he is at home cleaning the house. Which makes him such a great husband but makes me feel like such a bad wife. Of course I had EVERY intention of cleaning this weekend, but Saturday I slept late and then immediately got up and went to Wal-mart and then straight to my parents house to help them set up their Christmas tree. Of course we stayed and had dinner so I didn't get back home until 8 and by then I was just exhausted.
Sunday was a different story. I wasn't busy. I had a case of the lazys all day long. I did manage to put dinner in the crockpot around lunchtime (I only gave it a 4 so I won't be trying that again) I did manage to pick up a few things and clean the kitchen somewhat and do a couple loads of laundry, but really it was a lazy day. Nathan however was off yesterday, and he raked and burned all the leaves in the front yard, and today he is off and most likely the house will be mostly clean, if nothing else the dishes will be washed. Its a joint effort really. Last night I washed a load of clothes but didn't feel good so I went to bed at like 9 (which also happens).
I feel really bad when Nathan cleans, because if we are being honest, he does it a lot more than I do, but he has more days off a week than I do too. For instance this week Monday thru Sunday, he will be off 5 days and work only 2 but next week it will be switched, off 2 work 5. Whereas I work 5 days a week every week. And nobody wants to do anything when we get off work, (and hey, we don't have kids, why bother?) So for me, anything and eveything I want done has to be done on Saturday & Sunday. I know, preaching to the choir for most people. And I guess one day I'll figure out that if I want to be lazy on the weekends I have to do a little more during the week. Which is a good rule, if you can follow it. Wash dishes after dinner, get up a little earlier in the morning and maybe sweep the kitchen floor. On the days Nathan works, I can vaccumm in the morning before work because he will be up by 4 for work. (and the only one I'll be disturbing is the cat). So my goal is going to be to get up earlier, so that I can accomplish things before work so after work when I'm really tired, I won't have as much to do.
Do you have a "cleaning schedule" that you follow every week?
