So I figured now was a perfect time for a post about my least favorite question.
How do you do it all?The honest answer is -- I don't.
Some days are like the first two this week. Or today, for that matter.
- I am not feeling well, and end up taking a nap or two because I desperately need it.
- I have five different kids who need to be doing school, and all of them need at least some attention from me.
- I have a house to clean.
- I have deadlines for work, and those projects always seem to take far more time than I think they will.
- I haven't done laundry in forever and that is in desperate need of getting done.
- I want to read.
- I want to start stitching on the cross-stitch project my mom was working on before she died.
- My family seems to think they should eat.
- Did I mention I need a nap?
You know that saying out there, "Anything worth doing is worth doing well"?
Yeah. Right. I have a different one.
Forget doing it well.
And honestly, I don't even finish all the stuff that is worth doing. But when it comes to certain things, I do not worry about doing it "well."
I have to cheat something. So that means that you can't eat off my floors. The inside of the fridge is
The difference between a toilet scrubbed "well" and one that is "just done" is a whole lot of time, mostly. I've got hard water stains, and yes, I've seen the miracle vinegar trick on Facebook to get rid of them. But that takes time. Time I could be spending reading with my kids, or working on math, or heading outside to run around.
I don't fold socks and underwear either. They get stuffed into drawers, and that is good enough for me.
As for the homeschool stuff, I feel like I never quite do enough there. Which is probably my topic for tomorrow.
Bottom line for today, though. I don't do it all. I probably don't even do all the important stuff. And the stuff I do get done is often at the last minute.

Your house sounds marginally cleaner than mine. LOL I can't do it all either. Glad I'm not alone!
I'm with you in that "boat." And I don't have nearly as much on my plate as you do! (((hugs)))
