Half done house

Sung to House of the Rising Sun by The Rolling Stones...

There is a house with two babies
They call the "half-done house"
It used to be the cleanest house
Before the babies came

We had a plan to start our chores
And when they're halfway done
The babies cry; you no longer try
To think that you have won

The dishes stare; your underwear
Is scattered here and there
The toilet's clean; the sink is not
The bathtub is gangreen.

It's funny how quickly you adapt. Before I used to do my chores like
loading and unloading the dishwasher and taking out the trash on a
daily or as needed basis. But the main vacuuming, dusting, cat litter
and laundry would occur on the weekends. I would wash the entire
house, say, on Saturday and clean the bathrooms and mop the kitchen.

Now I only have "free time" in two hour increments so I've had to take
a different approach. In the morning block, I clean the babies room
(take out diaper trash, change sheets and pads if they are dirty, and
start a load of baby laundry). After that, I pick one chore/room to be
done for the house and tackle that as best I can. As the song above
illustrates, the chores are often half-done so for example, the rest
of the bathroom will be put on tomorrow mornings schedule.

Gotta be flexible!!
