So, I am able to keep up with the kids day in and day out. The basics are easy - feeding, changing, sleeping, etc. Even with AJU1 working 20 hours more than he usually does last week and not0so-nice weather that kept us inside most of the time, AJU5 seemed happy. I keep up with my work-work, grading and responding to questions as they come in. But, the house is falling apart! I make dinner every night, and i have even gotten fairly good at mixing up the menu a little bit so we aren't eating grilled chicken every night. But the cleaning - yeah, that is another story.
So, today, while the kids napped, I tackled a little bit of the kitchen. All of the dishes were loaded into the dishwasher and one countertop was cleaned. I also put stuff in the toilets so I could clean them here in a little bit. I still have to tackle the dining area, as one certain toddler drops a lot of food! We did get the downstairs vacuumed on Saturday, and of course I got the laundry done. Hopefully I can get the upstairs vacuumed this week too. Our house (other than dining area and sometimes the kitchen) aren't dirty, but it just isn't totally clean. I am not a huge fan of cleaning, but it needs to be done. It has been months since we dusted. We only mop once a month if it is a good month. The showers and tubs rarely get scrubbed.
What do you have the hardest time keeping up with?

Housework is the first to go for me....my running joke whenever someone says, "I don't know how you do it"....is to answer, "Something has to give, so I gave up housework!"
I do one room a day. That's the only way I can keep things de-cluttered and cleaned! I can't stand to get behind on laundry (which I am weird and actually don't mind doing all that much), but I HATE mopping! We have a swiffer wet jet that I use several times a week to get the nasty dropped food off the floor and keep the place smelling fresh, then I do a good mopping on Saturdays.
