A Mom’s Life Made Simple

I guess today is a good day to start with bathroom cleaning. It’s the worse chore on my list because I have two boys that refuse to clean up after brushing their hair, teeth, shaving, and yes for some reason neither one can hit the toilet when they first wake up. Honestly I’m not sure if they hit it at all during the day! The bad thing is the oldest boy is my fiance! Since he’s too old for me to even hope he’ll change I figure I need to set myself up for a constant bathroom battle.

I hate cleaning the bathroom it makes me feel dirty! I think about all of the germs and bacteria and YUCK it makes me want to just give up on the whole cleaning ordeal. Of course I can’t do that, so I found a check list on www.creativehomemaking.com that should help me keep things in order. Remember when I said if you tackle certain areas daily then you will never have it take over your life, well this list is meant to help prevent just that.
