keep a clean house

That is the first task – since I am pretty list oriented. By tomorrow night I will have a plan on how I am going to accomplish this item … guaranteed!

Managed to clean kitchen and living room. Keeping up with the daily chores required to maintain. Now for the bathroom and bedrooms!

Forget about all the procrastination. Tomorrow I’m gonna clean my house (come hell or high water). I can’t stand it anymore! All that I need to do is make one comprehensive list … sounds like procrastination doesn’t it. I’m throwin’ the list out the window and just gonna start. It just takes 15 minutes to get motivated.

Last week I did a major clean on kitchen and bathroom. Looked/smelled great and now it’s a mess again. Why can’t I keep up? I know that I have problems with my teenage daughter not lifting a finger to help – but why is it that I do not feel compelled to keep it up? Need advice … anyone!

I ask myself this all the time. I get frustrated because it seems that I am always picking up after my teenage daughter. It is her opinion that it is MY job to clean house – she won’t/doesn’t lift a finger. I have boycotted in the past and then become so overwhelmed that I don’t know where to start. She does not have a problem bringing friends over to a dirty apartment … I on the other hand am mortified. Therefore, I look for tips on cleaning all the time. One of the best sites I have found is http://housekeeping.about.com/ I am actually utilizing their tips today. Does anybody have any ideas on how to motivate my daughter?
