How do you get your chores done if you are on BYC so much???

[Wildsky]

Its amazing how fast I can get all the animals and such fed when its -6 outside.

Took me 25 minutes.

What Miss Prissy said.

My house is not spotless all the time, but the animals are fed and watered and I also cook everyday. I do make everything from scratch, so I am in the kitchen a lot every day. But, there are times like when bread is rising, or dinner is in the oven and I can steal a few minutes. My boys do the dishes (Yay!).

Honestly, I hate housework, so I have certain days that I do it, and there has to be a pressing reason for me to scrub the floors in between (like a big gross mess).

So, maybe you need to lower your standards

Works for me!

I just check the forums here and there during the day.

I try to make sure I don't let myself get sidetracked during "chores". I finish what i am doing then come see what's new. That kind of encouragement ... you finish up fast. Plus I homeschool, so the kids check things out now and again during the day too. If they find something they wanna read, they have to finish a lesson first (thanks BYC!!! Hee hee! Another way to get the kid to cooperate! yay me!!) So they get their stuff done, and I get mine done so we can surf here.

YOU are not alone....I must admit ....I noticed a very obvious layer of dust ( heaven forbid ! )...on everything lately! I thought to myself....''HOW did that get there?? "...I usually dust before it gets THAT bad....( usually )....Atleast I used to ......??
I seem to notice alot of my chores are slippin lately.....surely it is the sub zero cold and not all my time on BYC...
But I have to acknowledge ...there IS a BIG warning sign right there on the HOME page for everyone to see that says :

''WARNING...BYC is addictive "

WELL...maybe I am gettin to that age , finally, where my priorities are achangin and my wonderful friends here on BYC and the chickens I am going to be living with soon, are more important to me, then a clean, dustfree house !!??
Yes , that is it exactly and you know what?? I am not one bit worried about that dust on the dresser or ...OH look!!! wow!! I just wiped off the monitor screen and now I can actually see the chicken pictures better!!!! SEE you all tomorrow ...I am off to bed!!!

Hire the 16 yr old girl down the road and have her do 3X's as much in one day that I can get done in a week. To be young again......

I usually try to stay off the computer until after dinner, and try to do something during the day, some chore. I am on the computer and BYC instead of TV. Sometimes I'm on during the day cause I have to work that night.

I get up in the morning, feed and water chickens and fix me and DD some breakfast.

Wait until DD goes to school, work out at the Y, and any time left over before she comes back from school, BYC timeout!

After supper or after nine PM, after DD goes to bed, I check on BYC!

What a boring life we got! NOT!
