Parenting Rule #248

For however many days a mom is sick, it takes twice as many days as that to catch up. So if I am sick and laying on the sofa for 2 days like last week, it takes 4 days to fully catch up.

I don't know how you moms who have had to be on bed rest have done it.

You mean there is a point when one 'catches up' with the housework??? And here I thought housework with kids is like shoveling snow in a blizzard. Only you will know that you have tried to clean.

I hope you are feeling better. Take it easy. The clutter will be there tomorrow, I promise.

LOL! You're right, I'm never truly caught up on housework. But it does seem to take 4 days to get caught up on all the items I had planned on doing those two days, like making bread, going monthly grocery shopping, getting registration forms for scouts filled out, and returning the house to some semblance of order.

And if by "clutter" you mean kids - yeah they are still here.

Oh wait, I guess that's not what you meant. ;)
