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).
Routine.....up at 5.30-6.00am...kettle on..computer on....quick look on BYC see whats happening......

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!!!
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.
