[quote=Anonymous]Outsource cleaning, yard work, and often groceries (do delivery to the house).

I stay on top of laundry by folding it while I watch TV (which is generally the only time I watch TV...) and by starting it in the morning before leaving for work.  I try to do a load a day so it doesn't get too bad.  I rotate through everyone's bedroom and bathroom so everyone's sheets and towels get washed every week but each is only done once a day.  We actually have two washers and two dryers (one on each floor) so I do bedding and towels generally downstairs and clothes upstairs.

I'm really anal so our house is generally very neat, but I do have some "Monica closets" where things that need to be organized end up, so those fall through the cracks.  Also cooking.  I love doing it but I don't often have enough time and my kids do after-school sports so they will eat dinner in the car on the way home some nights.  I would like to be better at that.  Also, working out has fallen by the wayside.  My husband has been traveling so our schedule has been all over the place but I'm looking forward to getting back into that routine soon.  [/quote]
