How to Get Things Done Around the House While Raising 3 Small Children


Create a list of the things you need to get done around the house: (this list does not include the necessities, such as feeding the baby, feeding the children, changing 50 diapers, wiping up after all 3 children,  etc)

laundry
get the mail
vacuum upstairs
think about vacuuming downstairs
clean the cat box
make the bed
take out the garbage
empty the dishwasher
fill the dishwasher
take a shower
etc. etc. etc.

Now.
Divide that list in half.
 Divide that list in half again
And one more time...
aaaaaand probably once more.
That is what you will accomplish in a day with all three children home.
You WILL NOT get a shower.
If your two older children have gone to daycare, then divide the list in half, and in half again. Maybe one more time, if the baby is pooping more than usual.
You MIGHT get a shower.  MIGHT.
