LOVE IT

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE BOOKS!! I CLEANED MY KITCHEN TODAY IN 12 AND A HALF MINUTES. I MEAN, SPARKLY, SHINEY, SMELL FRESH CLEAN. TYPICALLY I ENJOY MY CLEANING TIME, I LOVE TO SPEND TIME PAYING STRICT ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND GOING OVER EVERYTHING TWICE... BUT LATELY I HAVE BEEN FEELING SUPER SHORT ON TIME AND IT FRUSTRATES ME TO NOT HAVE TIME TO DO OTHER THINGS THAT ALSO NEED TO BE DONE, NAMELY- SPENDING TIME WITH MY FAMILY. MY EVERY DAY SCHEDULE IS SUPER HECTIC, FILLED WITH A LOT OF ERRANDS AND DRIVING TIME, AND WHEN I AM HOME WITH THE KIDS I FEEL GUILTY SPENDING SO MUCH TIME CLEANING. I ENJOY GETTING THEM INVOLVED, HELPING TO DUST AND VACUUM, THEY CAN ALSO CLEAN THE BATHROOM FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THEY ARE GREAT WITH WINDOWS AND LAUNDRY. IT IS GOOD FOR THEM TO LEARN TO TAKE PRIDE IN THEIR HOME AND PART OF THAT PRIDE COMES FROM TAKING CARE OF IT. HOWEVER, I THINK THAT WITH THE EXCEPTION ON THEIR DAILY CHORES (MAKE BED, LAUNDRY, SETTING TABLES, DISHWASHER, ETC.) THEY SHOULD NOT SPEND THEIR PRECIOUS FREE TIME CLEANING EVERY DAY. THEY SHOULD ALSO GET ATTENTION FROM ME... SO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? A MESSY HOUSE? NOT SPENDING TIME WITH MY KIDS? NEITHER!!! THE SOLUTION IS TO DO A QUICK CLEANING IN THE MORNING WHILE MY BABY IS NAPPING. BAM!! MY BABY NAPS FOR 2 HOURS IN THE MORNING WHILE THE OTHER KIDS ARE AT SCHOOL.... IT IS PLENTY OF TIME TO SHOWER, DRESS AND CLEAN THE HOUSE!!! I LOVE IT. SO, I RECOMMEND BOTH OF THESE BOOKS. GREAT!! (ACTUALLY, I HAVE ONLY READ A FEW PAGES OF THE CLUTTER CONTROL, BUT I AM ANXIOUS TO FINISH IT). GO AHEAD, CLEAN YOUR HOUSE FASTER AND FEEL MORE ACCOMPLISHED... MAN I SOUND LIKE A COMMERCIAL!
