I want to keep my house clean enough to have anyone over at anytime. I don’t want to worry about telling people they can’t visit because I think the house is dirty or feel guilty when people stop by and it’s messy. I need to get more motivated to clean when I am working. When I did not work for 3 months I would clean the house ever day, dishes by hand, all the laundry from the day before done the next day, all the beds were made, the bathrooms were spotless, the trash was taken out twice a day and dinner was made. Now, I work the Evening 3- 11:30p.m. shift and I can not even do the dishes in the dish washer more than once or twice a week. I have to take a day off work just to clean the house. Once a month before we go away, I will try to go from top to bottom so I don’t feel so guilty about going away and leaving such a mess but I am going to run out of vacation time soon.
