a balance needed

If you have been following me for any amount of time you know that I am somewhat of a neat freak. I love to organize, and clean, and think that everything should have it's own place. 

But I have a small confession to make.

I have been kind of slacking on my neat freak duties. My house is not destroyed or anything. But I definitely haven't been cleaning it the way that I feel I should. I always do the dishes and keep the counters and table clean. But I skimp on the dusting and mopping a little. 

I know that I do this, and feel that I shouldn't, but still find myself walking into the office to sneak a little work in instead of doing some of the tedious cleaning. 

This is something that I need to work on a little more. I need to find the balance of all of my duties. Maybe do the cleaning early in the morning right after I edit drafted blog posts, and then when Baby Bear goes down for her nap I sneak into the office and get as much work as I can done. I love that all of my clients understand that I am a stay at home mom and are so great with the fact that most of my work is done at one time every day unless I have a family day. Maybe going back to making my daily todo lists will help. I used to do them and just stopped because I felt silly. But without having it written down, I tend to not do it. I know thats a little odd, but so true! 

So how do you all balance work, household chores, and being mommy?
