fess up-how dirty does your house stay b/c you simply can't clean?!?!

I mean because of total lack of energy or physically unable to...say bend down to do the baseboards.  I can't STAND my house right now, but I seriously can't physically shampoo my carpet or do my baseboards, or stand the smell of the cleaner for the kitchen floor..  And Dh is crazy busy with work to do it.  I can't wait to be recovered from myc/s to get this place clean again!!!!  sigh..now back to my obesssion with the hyper homemaker....

  • Im actually going to hire a cleaning service to come in and spot clean everything that I cant get to or do. Like all the baseboards, all the dusting thats making my allergies throw a fit, bathtubs and etc. We were remodeling right when we found out I was pregnant so Im sure there's dust in places I cant even see!

  • I'm with ya. My doc told me last week that there will be no prolonged cleaning in my near future due to increased swelling in my legs so the dust bunnies are moving in. I know my DH doesn't see them like I do or they don't bug him so it will never feel 'done' to me even if he cleans. The things we have to put up with for these babies....
  • I've been having to take it easy since 20 weeks. DH has stepped up and done the tubs, vaccuming, toilets, and the every day stuff. I usually do the counters to "help". We're bringing in a cleaning service in May to do a major cleaning because I can't take it anymore. Normally I do the cabinets and doors and all that stuff once a month, so it never really gets bad. And DH just doesn't think to wipe down a shelf or the stuff on it, so its getting a little annoying but I think its great how helpful he is?
  • The house looks like I threw everything out of the drawers to find something to wear- which in reality I did yesterday... Luckily DH has Mondays off and cleans up.. so I get to have a few days a week of an immaculate house..  He thinks it's painful to watch me bend over to pick up stuff.. LOL
  • OMG! My house is beyond funky right now!! We just found out that our house we're suppose to be getting in May won't be ready until after the baby is born! Our lease is up end of April, so DH, me and our two boys will be moving in with my parents :picture me running screaming:. Between all the crap taken out to pack and trying to keep a house up with two active kids under the age of 5 (DH gone for 6 days, hm 3 due to work) plus all the other details of living my house is just nasty! I tossing stuff left and right cause I don't feel like packing it! lol
