Cleaning = EXHAUSTED!

I have off work til Wednesday so I wanted to get as much cleaning and laundry done as possible.  I got a couple loads of laundry done and the bathroom cleaned but now im exhausted! I already started to clean the bedroom so I cant stop now....but boy do I want to hire a cleaning lady! I cant do this anymore and I still got a ways to go :(

  • I find that so frustrating too.I have a big list of things I want to do, but I finish one or too and I'm huffing and puffing..no fun!

  • Yep, I kept saying im done cleaning but ever week there I am cleaning the whole damn house. I am a big clean freak but I am 39 weeks and I know that if I try this week to clean I will break myself so I guess I just need to wait until I give birth to clean again
  • I cleaned my house from top to bottom a couple weeks ago and have just been cleaning a little here and there anything that needed to be taken care of to avoid having to do it again any time soon. good luck!
  • I try to do a little every night, but I am completely winded if I try to vacume so that is DH's new job.
  • Last thursday I cleaned my house like crazy.  Scrubbed things I had never scrubbed and did way more than I should have.  My house looks amazing, but I paid for it for days! 

    I suggest taking it one room at a time.  If you don't clean the WHOLE house/apt done in one day...who cares?  You have to take care of you!

    I am seriously thinking about hiring my neices to come out and help me give the house one more good clean before the baby comes.  That way they can do the floor scrubbing, lifting, etc (they are 8, 11, 15, & 16) and I can direct!  LOL Like a cleaning service, but a lot cheaper!

    I cleaned my house from top to bottom two weeks ago (while DH was out of town), and then I was sore for several days after!!  It was awful!  And, I figured out that I now have two speeds:  slow and slower.  No more buzzing around the house doing a million different things....I now operate on slow-but-sure.  I don't anticipate another burst of cleaning between now and my due date.  I'll just have to do a little at a time, and hopefully our house doesn't get too awful in the meantime.  I never know how exhausting being pregnant could be!!
