I always feel more energized in the spring. The sun makes me sprint.<br />Also, as a single parent it is twice the work but when I was married he was like a fourth child so I am better off... <br />Make a list, try to prioritize it, get the kids to sign up for a few with you. Then take them out for an ice cream after each 'work day'. Those work days don't have to be this week. maybe saturday or sunday morningsNot a soccer momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363157766195158920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014880043626797980.post-41061806419683114302010-04-06T07:23:22.855-07:002010-04-06T07:23:22.855-07:00I am so anal that I just never sit down.

I think the important thing is to take a deep breath. Assess and start at the beginning.. which I know isn't easy. Get your kids involved and make it fun. My mom used to crank the radio and we'd all get busy. At the beginning we'd complain, but half way through I'd actually enjoy it. Afterwards it was so great relaxing and enjoying a clean house! :)Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214217695583490523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014880043626797980.post-43925564615454342032010-04-05T17:26:34.551-07:002010-04-05T17:26:34.551-07:00enjoy your time with the kids...you will get to th...enjoy your time with the kids...you will get to the other things when the time is right.
