Is it just me or do othere moms have this problem? I swear alost half the time it seems I must make a mess to clean up a mess. I find myslef have to pull out stuff to put stuff away or to go thought stuff thats not needed any more. I have three daughters and i sometimes feel like im maken rounds pulling stuff out and putting in away again.

Oh girl it isnt just you! I have learned this lesson the hard way...I have issues that when Im cleaning I have to be working on like 10 things at once which just makes it worse because it takes twice as long..And then half the time I will get it partly done because Im working on soo many other things that it will get left and the clutter starts once again...lol...I have been teaching myself to do one room at a time...Its been hard because I didnt realize what a habit I had about trying to multitask...Which is great in some instances, but not with cleaning one's house.. You just start with one room and when you finish that move to the next.. If there is something in one room that belongs in another take it to the other room and just leave it...dont get distracted by that room...go back and finish the other one you started...And if you keep it up usually your house can be done in one to three days depending on the extent of your organizing! Have fun and good luck with it!

Yes Multitasking is great lucky for me I learned to do one room at a time like you said a while ago. I just take what i need for the kids into that room it that. So as i get my stuff done i can work on home work with the older two and talk to the baby now that is multitasking at its best lol

Cleaning is really hard to do. And making things organize inside the house as well. It is really advisable to put away things especially if you have kids around. To avoid accidents. Sometimes, I throw thins especially if it is no longer necessary and will only be hazardous to my kids.

Things must get worse before they get better. :) That is a proven fact, especially with cleaning. It usually only happens with organizing or extensive cleaning. It takes me two or three days to clean my room every time and I usually get b*tched at by my ma for it. I have to pull everything out and go through it, then I have to put it where it should go, then I can do the extensive cleaning, then the regular cleaning, and then just the finishing touches to make it look pretty. It takes forever, but I guess that's what happens with OCD. :P

No your diffently not the only one that has this problem. I diffently have this problem all the time with having to children of my own. I see myself having to move things just to put something away where because my daughter has her stuff all over my house I can't get her to keep it in one place.
