I just can't help it. Organization just oozes from my veins. It has been drilled into me since I was a kid.
We were lucky enough to have a large spare room that we used as a toy room. You'd think this would be a great place to make a mess and then shut the door. OH NO, NOT in our house. We still had that great rule of...you take out 1 toy at a time and then you have to clean it up before you get something else out.
And guess what I have the rule for my own kids, my sister does and I bet so do my brothers. When I said flowing through my veins...I meant it!! It's totally contagious!
And just to show you how excited I am about organization, I have been spilling my guts out all week about my new daily cleaning schedule. It has helped me not feel overwhelmed to clean this house by myself. (hopefully soon the kids will actually HELP me clean and not just make it worse)
MONDAY: Vacuum downstairs & mop floors (this is a necessity on mondays because the weekend destroys the floors...and I love vacuum lines)
TUESDAY: Laundry (usually 8 loads) & ironing
WEDNESDAY: Vacuum downstairs, stairs & upstairs
THURSDAY: Clean bathrooms
FRIDAY: Vacuum downstairs & dust
As you can see I don't do any work on the weekends besides the usual dishes. Since weekends are way to busy for small projects.

I need to clone that gene from you. Like you, my mother was an ant, but I'm more of a grasshopper, probably because I am literally allergic to detergents and it's no fun sneezing while you are cleaning!
I Am So Proud of You! MOM
I have a very similar cleaning schedule and I love it, but there are days they don't get done!
