Did you know I have five kids?
Okay, full disclosure: I only actually gave life to three of them. My husband and I both showed up to the relationship with two, and then we had one more together just to really solidify the chaos. Wild, right?
As you can imagine, my house is loud, chaotic, magical, and at times, downright terrifying to anyone who craves peace and quiet. If that’s not your jam, it is highly recommended that you avoid the daily stampede and wait until the older kids are at their other respective parents’ houses before risking a visit.
Naturally, this also means my house is not always the tidiest. I try really hard to be one of those chill, relaxed moms who doesn’t let the mess get to her, but it turns out that staying chill is completely impossible for me. Just ask my family. It’s also basically impossible to keep the house clean, but I can’t just sit back and wait for someone else to do it, because I will eventually get mean.
The truth is, no one cares about the dirt as much as I do. My husband is great and cleans without being asked, but he does things… differently. He tackles everything all at once, so I generally try to just stay out of his way when he’s in the zone.
Thankfully, running a cleaning company means I have endless cleaning supplies at my fingertips, not to brag! I’m currently trying to teach the kids to clean up after themselves, and they are constantly asking me to hire them. My standard response? If they can successfully prove themselves at home first, then maybe, just maybe, I’ll put them on the payroll.
