Manic Monday

I am going to try every Monday to post a question here.  I look forward to seeing your responses to my question.

 Today I want to know your opinion on men and cleaning.  It seems like the men in my house have trouble with this concept.  I see my house and think many that really needs to be cleaned up.  They see it and just walk around it.  I clean up almost every morning.  I unload the dishwasher, and then I reload the dishwasher.  Repeat this cycle every day. 

I just wonder what it would take to get my husband to help me in the endless endeavor.  With five people living in my house, cleaning is a never ending process.  I hate to nag him all the time, but that seems to be the only way I can get him to help.

Please offer me your suggestions on how to get my husband and son to help me with the cleaning at home.  Help make my home a calmer place to live!

Thanks in advance!  I look forward to reading your solutions.

2012...Welcome to another year of chaos!

Well, 2012 is starting off with a bang here.  I am currently unemployed and looking to change professions.  The career I chose (and spent 6 years going to college for) is not conducive to having a teenage son participating in sports.....So, I am looking for a new job.

The girls are going strong with dentist appointments for cavities.  What can I say, genetics was not kind to my children when it comes to their teeth.

My dear son is going strong with his wrestling career.  Looking forward to getting to see him as much as possible. 

I am trying to make my new and MUCH smaller budget work.  I love all my blogs that I follow through facebook.  You are are helping me alot where that is concerned.  I also had to give up my cleaning lady (ahh..that is me sighing).  I am not sure how this cleaning thing is supposed to work, but I guess I will learn. 

Tune in often to keep up with the chaos that is my life as a newly initiated stay at home mom of 3.....Things could get interesting.
