There is so much stuff I COULD be doing but I don't get around to it. I am really slacking in the cleaning department, the cooking department, and even the GETTING DRESSED DEPARTMENT!! Most of my days are spent online, in bed or on the phone. I am about to take a job at McDonalds so I can get out of my house! I've spent more money staying home buying baby stuff, take out, extra grocries, and things to fiddle with then I ever made.. staying home is expensive... well it is for me anyway. So I am in desprate need of advice.
For the homemakers on this site. How do you do it?
Do you have a schedule or routine?
Do you take a nap?
Do you procrastinate? If not how do you get motivated
Should everything be spottless all the time?
Should I make breakfast and Dinner?
This is a hard job and I don't like it!! God bless the people who can do it. Greg has asked me every day this week "what did you do today" and I just look up at him like a confused 2 year old.

Staying home will be better once the baby is born. you'll have no choice but to get things done because the baby will keep you very busy! :wink:
I've been a stay at home mom ever since krystal was born except for a couple years in there.
I do somewhat have a schedule routine. I get up anywhere between 6 to 7 am. I do all my cleaning right after I feed Erika in the morning. By 10 or 11, I'm done.
I sometimes take a nap in the afternoon with erika. I lay down on the couch and we fall asleep together there. sometimes I don't do the nap thing though. That's when I'll watch a movie, sit out in the yard or go on the puter.
I procrastinate all the time! It's the big things like painting, cleaning up the basement, gardening, things like that. The things that will take me a longer time to do i put off now that i have erika. there's just not enough time in between taking care of her to do all that stuff right now. I do plan on painting when school's out. kassandra will be home so she can look after erika while i paint.
I don't think that everything should be spotless all the time. You live there! I have my house presentable just in case somebody comes over unexpected. there are days where i don't get dressed and don't do housework. those are the days when people do pop by and i hate it! LOL
I make breakfast, lunch and dinner. I do all the cooking and i like it that way. if gerry or kassandra cooks, the mess is more so i'd rather do that myself.
Stone, when the baby is born, you won't be so bored. I was bored to death before i had erika here. didn't know what to do with myself. now i'm far from being bored!
