Get a mop, get a pail, get a broom
When I was a child in the early 80s there was a series of books called Sweet Pickles. Each character was based on a letter of the alphabet and taught us many life lessons.

The song from above I believe was from the Goose character. Thanks Mom for instilling the love of reading in me early on. I loved reading so much the Bookmobile lady used accuse me of lying because she said I couldn't possibly read that many books in a week. Oh yes I could! For anyone wondering what the heck a Bookmobile is, its a big motor home looking thing that is a mobile library. Since we lived 20-30 minutes away from "town", the books came to us.
So here begins what this post was supposed to be about. You see from above how my brain works sometimes. I start thinking one thing and then it evolves into something else. I think it just happened again. :)
It's no secret that house cleaning is something I've struggled with. I've been all over the place from doing it all in a weekend, splitting up rooms during the week, hiring a housekeeper. As much as I would love to have a full time housekeeper, it gets hard to justify the expense for something that I'm physically capable of doing. Neal laughs because I pick up all of our clutter before she would come to clean. I don't see her as a maid to pick up after us but someone to help clean our house.
So here's the most current plan of action. We had Fabiola come last week to do one big, good cleaning. After all, it is easier to keep up a house that is already clean. I've made this new schedule where there's a task for everyday (except Friday) that can be accomplished in 30 minutes or less. I was able to clean the bathrooms so fast yesterday because they weren't really that dirty. I think this plan might be the "one." Time will tell but I think I've found something doable and doesn't take up my whole weekend.
You know you have a good man when he helps you complete a task!
