Crazy In Love

I’m accustomed to cleaning the house — dusting, mopping, … other deep cleaning — every other Friday on my day off. I give the bathrooms a once-over at least twice a week and the kitchen and living rooms are straightened as needed. That was then.
Now… now I’m home all day (not forever but for the time being) and I can’t help but notice all the mess there is to clean up. It’s not even baby stuff, though there is a decent amount of that too: bottles to wash, clothes, cloth diapers. We’re not slobs but when life is happening there is the unavoidable mess of socks on the floor, dust, dog hair, cat paw prints on the side table, glass of water on the dresser… just the things that happen in a house where a family of 3, plus 3 pets, lives.
I’m doing a decent job of staying on top of things now but I dread what will happen when I go back to work. I already know that no cleaning will be happening on my part on my work days and with Noah being the stay-at-home parent, I think he’ll be a little busy with John to worry about the house (as it should be). Hopefully I’ll be able to either stay on top of the mess or just learn to ignore it.
