Our Cleaning Schedule

Kyle is still sick; I took his temp around 9 and it was 102.4. He is still just laying around all day. Tomorrow I will call the doctor's office as they were closed today. Beth did her school work very well and we were finished by noon.

The kids and I are trying a new cleaning schedule and it is working out well, except for the part with the kids being sick, so they can't do their part! But in all honesty, our new schedule is great. We clean 1 to 2 rooms a day, all at the same time and it actually looks like we cleaned. Our old schedule for cleaning had them doing certain chores and that was repeated day after day. The problem I found was they didn't have to do many of the chores everyday, so they were only cleaning a little and they would have everything to do on Monday because we didn't do it on weekends....which isn't a terrible thing, but it didn't seem like things were clean. Does that make sense?? I never felt like things were getting done, but we were doing the cleaning list that I made. So, after praying about my schedules for schooling and cleaning, we have a really good one!!! So, in case anyone wants to know what I am doing, here is a quick run-down:
Mondays, bathroom and enclosed porch; Tuesdays, living room; Wednesday, kitchen; Thursdays, office and a little room we call the nook; Fridays, bedrooms; and Saturday, dining room. A couple of the days I also have straightening the living room and cleaning the bathroom again. So, there you have it. The kids and I like working on the rooms together and we all agree the house looks so much nicer. Honestly, they feel like they are contributing to the house, where they just felt like cleaners before.

Hope you have a good one.
