Unless it's nap time; I cannot accomplish anything other than throwing a load of laundry in. I'm blessed to have a wonderful hubby and kids that realize that my job at home all day is just as (more so, often!) demanding as theirs at school and work....so we share the household tasks. We've started assigning a 1/2 hour each week night to chores (with the music blasting and everyone singing or dancing) so our Saturdays are no longer bogged down by cleaning. More importantly, don't stress yourself over your house having to be immaculate...our children will never remember how clean our floors are, but they sure will treasure that we took time in our busy day and built forts with them!
