It feels good: the house is cleaner than it often gets.
How did it happen? We had company.
Although the house wasn't completely CHAOS(Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome), it was below the "company presentable".
This time, I played a game with my kids, similar to Jeopardy: there were fun things (read a few pages of a book; play computer game for 5 minutes) and mini chores (wipe down the fridge with windex and paper towel) and bigger chores (mop kitchen floor) and part of a chore (pick up 8 things from living room floor). Amazingly, we worked through 5 different "rounds" - with 3 to 4 kids participating.
Result?
1) It took this mama a lot of effort, but the house feels much better than it often does.
2) It gave this mama motivation to not neglect house chores to the extent they sometimes get neglected.
