[quote=Anonymous]Well everyone has been very positive and the replies have been nice.  My initial response after reading OP's post was not terribly polite, but seeing as everyone else is trying to be helpful so will I.

Cleaning -- hire a cleaning service.  Ours comes weekly.  They do the heavy cleaning, change, and wash the bed linens.  In between, I do precious little.  Clean up after cooking and keep clutter to a minimum.  Kids pitch in more as well.  Mine sort their laundry, put away clean laundry, neaten and straighten bedrooms, and other chores as assigned.

Cooking -- Meal planning, crockpot meals, and very pared down dinners make healthy eating pretty easy.  We do not eat out during the work week.  We do eat out on weekends mostly for lunches.  I usually make a big main dish on Sunday for dinner and it becomes another dinner or some lunch portions.  Our school does not have a cafeteria so I also pack lunch every day.  Trying to get my husband to tell me when he doesn't have lunch plans the next day so I can make his lunch as well.

Laundry -- I start laundry on Friday night when I am still in work mode.  By the time I go to bed, I have washed and dried usually 2 loads at least.  I continue moving laundry along on Saturday morning.  I wash and dry everything and then I fold everything.  Kids put their own laundry away and my husband puts ours away.

Working out -- I go to yoga once or twice per week.  I swim laps with my daughter 3 times per week after school.  I am looking at adding in more workouts per week probably in the mornings.

Errands -- I am in the car quite a bit so I can drop into the post office or make a return pretty easily.
