Weekend Wreckage

I don’t know what it is about the weekend but I just can’t keep up on the housework. Every Saturday morning I clean and disinfect and deodorize and make the boys clean their room. But by evening a tornado has swept through the house once again. I think it has something to do with the boys being home all day and me not being able to pick up faster than they can clutter and destroy.

So by Sunday afternoon things we’re looking really scary around here. Angel girl is suffering from teething and a crazy goopy runny nose so there are tissues scattered about. This morning she got mad at her bowl of CapN’ Crunch (I have no idea why) and dumped it all over the floor. Luckily there was no milk in it. I see toy cars and DVD’s and lego’s and paper everywhere. That’s just the living room.

In short, Monday is the day I come out of the bedroom look at the house and sigh, wondering when it got so out of control. Monday is also the day I pick it all up, look at my work satisfactorily and think I won’t let the mess get out of control again.

Ugh! I know what you mean!! Laundry is always my biggest problem. Our bedroom looks like a tornado of clothing hit it 24/7!!

I agree whole heartedly. I come home from dropping the boys off at school on Mondays and look around and never know quite where to start.

Monday is cleaning day at my house for this very reason. I don’t even try on the weekends. ;)

Umm, good luck with that. Keeping it clean and in control. And when you figure out the secret, be sure to share it with me.

I always think the weekend is when I should get caught up on everything, but it seems like instead I am just more behind with more work to do on Monday!

My house is the EXACT same on Monday morning. It doesn’t matter how hard I work on Saturday, by Monday it’s toast. Good luck!

LOL, too true! I think it’s funny though - when I worked, the house would slowly get worse all throughout the week and then I would spend the weekend getting it back in shape. Now that we’re home all the time, it’s the weekends when the house gets really bad and like you, I wait until Monday to start surveying the wreckage and getting everything back in order.
