I try to have all the housework, schoolwork, etc. done by Friday. My house gets a deep cleaning one day a week and of course we keep up daily cleaning of the house--vacuuming, dishes, laundry and putting it up, etc. On the weekends I cook 2 or 3 good meals and then I just want to veg. I feel like I put in a full week and I need some down time. Our 3 year old keeps us plenty busy so it's not like we are all just laying around lol Yard work is done on the weekend but dh and ds1 keep up with that and right now the yard is in it's non-growing season. They will probably have to start mowing again in the next few weeks. When we put the spring garden in we'll all be out working in that. I want the weekend to be as carefree as it possibly can be for all of us.
