Cleaning Cleaning Cleaning

Today my parents came and took Haley for a couple of hours. They like to get her once a week to spend time with her. I really didn’t like it at first, but now the older she gets the more It works for us. It gives me time to do some cleaning that’s harder to do when she is here. Example scrubs the toilets and tubs and things like that. I don’t use bleach for a lot of things but I like to clean my bathroom with it and I don’t like to do that when she is crawling all around.

I have a cleaning schedule that I try to keep to. I found it on Pintrest and I just made my own version of it ( I’ll post it below if I can figure out how). I found when Haley was first born that I couldn’t keep up with anything in house and I was getting to the point where I was overwhelmed and would break down. With Lonnie’s job he is gone a lot so it’s mostly me and Haley here by ourselves. He gets a day to a day and a half off every week but that’s about it than the rest of the time he is gone. Anyways I found it and changed it to fit my needs and it has stuff for you to do every morning, night and day then one day out of the week is your “swing day” which is where you would do something that is considered to be “deep clearing” I guess such as shampoo the carpet, clean out fridge, stove, and microwave, things like that. It works great for me. I printed it out, put it in a sheet protector and keep in on the fridge so I can mark it off throughout the day makes me feel like I am accomplishing something.

So today with Haley being gone for a couple of hours I got a ton of stuff done. When my parents do get her I try to go ahead and get as much on the list done that way the next day I don’t have to do the “Chore of the day” and things like that. That way I get more time with Haley and when she is down for a nap more time more me! Tomorrow I will have to do the morning and night stuff ( it’s things you do every day and to be honest it things that you would do anyway or I would anyways.) My list of accomplishments today were I got both bathrooms cleaned top form bottom, all of the floors vacuumed, all of the floors swept and mopped, I cleaned(bleached) Haley’s bath toys ( I just fill my tube ½ with hot water add just a little bleach and let them soak. It gets all the nasty soap stuff off of them. Then you just rinse them and put them up.) All of the dishes washed and put up, counters wiped off, sink cleaned. Plus I put up a YouTube video. I went and took a very long shower (which is soooooo nice) and filmed a couple of more vlogs. I have one load of clothes that needs to be done and then my house is clean! I did a bunch of the heavy cleaning last week when they got her for a couple of hours. Such as cleaning out the fridge, stove, microwave, dusted, cleaned all the windows and fans. Things like that.

Anyways, I think I am rambled enough about cleaning. It’s almost time for me to get Haley so I think I am going to kick back and watch some tv before I got get her.
