get my house cleaned up

Well I just bought this really great house and I’m trying to get it set up just right. However, I’ve also just gotten divorced, laid-off, changed jobs, started seeing someone, got a promotion at my second job and am helping to take care of my mom and dad who have breast cancer and Parkinson’s, respectively. So, as anyone can see, I have almost no time to clean and when I do I have no energy to do so.
At the moment I do laundry when I run out of clean underpants and I do dishes when I can see them piling up in the sink. I’m keeping it relatively clean but for a compulsive neat freak like me it feels like I’ve got a horde of drunken college-age gnomes living in my house who only come out to make a mess and only when I’m not there to see it.

Perhaps I should take as day off work to really deep clean. It’s either that or pop for a maid.

taking care of mom and the kids, starting a new business took all my time. my mother recently passed away and now I have neither the heart or energy to turn to housework….

I didn’t get alot done today. I did go through my bookcase and got the gerbils cleaned up. So the living room looks pretty good. Also I got the garbage bagged up and put out on the porch and got rid of all the pop cans. I really need to get on those dishes and tomarrow have to remember to wash the girls tai kwon do outfits. If I can accomplish that I will be happy. Shit I’d be happy if I could just wash the silverware.
