i'm so horrible at keeping everything sparkling when classes are going on.
so how does everyone else stack up? do you clean daily? weekly? monthly? never? :chuckle

Good way to have a cleaner home.
There are 4 people in my household and we deep clean rooms each day (bathroom on monday...family room on tuesday...etc.) The kitchen is done everyday. It sounds like alot but we all rotate jobs, otherwise it just turns into a big mess. I am more willing to clean the bathroom when I have a big paper to write than when I want to do something fun! :chuckle
During the day my house stays cluttered, simply because I am home all day with my 9 1/2-month old son and he's messy. :)
In the evenings I pick up and usually on the weekend is when the dusting, laundry, etc. gets done. Granted, I have not started my actual "nursing classes" yet, and that apparently makes a difference.

I dunno. Studying can and does take priority, but a dirty house I won't have. Clutter I can live with.
I agree with NRSKarenRN about the FlyLady!!!!!
She saved my life showing me how to keep my home clean and presentable spending no more than about 30 minutes total each day!

I'm an avid cleaner....that is until nursing school started. My bathroom is always clean but my carpet is made of nursing books! 2 weeks before a test forget it! I could care less what my house looks like! What I do do though is if Im studying hours on end, every 2 or so hours I need a break so I will get up and vaccuum, clean my kitchen floor, throw in a load of wash, etc.....it kind of just breaks the brain freezes I have and then I go back to studying. BOy, what a fun-filled life I lead!

I have a housekeeper come in once a week. I agree, it's the best money you'll ever spend. Days off are for fun with family. What a stress reliever to live in a clean house! No more embarrassing moments when company drops by. If I decide to havea party, I can concentrate on cooking a nice meal instead of wearing myself out cleaning.
