And that is why I don’t have a cleaning schedule…
I don’t know what I am missing and can constantly feel good—there is nothing on my list to check off.
thanks for sharing, but I think I may stick to mine: just don’t do it. at least not often.

Nice. I was just thinking the other day that I should make up some kind of cleaning schedule. The stuff that has to be done constantly (washing dishes) or that bugs me (tidying up the family room) gets done regularly, but I am terrible at some other things that should be done, that I just never notice (dusting? What’s…dusting?), or only notice when it gets really bad (why yes, it has been a long time since I cleaned the bathroom sink). Maybe this post will be a kick in the pants for me to actually make a list of my own.

I’m very proud, Renae. I’ll check your progress in October. Remember, break them down into units like in About A Boy. It’s less overwhelming that way. Love you.
