You are definitely not alone in your quest ...Whoo! You are definitely not alone in your quest for "doing it all!" I live in my husband's parsonage and commute 15 miles to my church. Once I leave home, I am usually gone until after suppertime! I asked for a day and a half off per week. I come home on Thursday afternoons and houseclean. On my day off (Friday), I can spend it with my husband or do whatever I feel like doing. That's how it works for me.<BR/><BR/>I also subscribed to about.com's housekeeping e-mail newsletter. They have really great tips on how to clean a room in 15 minutes.<BR/><BR/>Don't beat yourself up over this! Just do what you can do and negotiate with your hubby for the rest!<BR/><BR/>Be blessed!nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02089651607213032025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15346857.post-1131130421579815642005-11-04T12:53:00.000-06:002005-11-04T12:53:00.000-06:00Thank you to all who stopped by to comment, and th...Thank you to all who stopped by to comment, and those who read the post and didn't comment but sent your good thoughts my way. It does help to know that I'm not the only one who ever feels this way. <BR/>It's a beautiful autumn day here and I'm hoping to crunch some leaves later, which will help my mood immensely!!

I often hear the advice to multitask, but I don't wanna! I'd hire a cleaning person if I thought she could find enough clear surface to clean.<BR/><BR/>Let me pause a moment while I feel the rebellion against housework and work work and parenting wash over me--there, that's better.<BR/><BR/>If something has to give, make sure it isn't you, 'cause you're definitely more important than the laundry or the housecleaning.Bad Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540577363786819292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15346857.post-1131121763197934372005-11-04T10:29:00.000-06:002005-11-04T10:29:00.000-06:00No, you absolutely shouldn't do it all!
