There's no such thing as keeping a house clean- unless you have a maid. I am cleaning daily, whether it be dishes, garbage, clothes, sweeping, vacuumin...........and it's endless. And not a half hour after I actually "clean" thoroughly, it's messy again. But afterall I do have a 4 yr. old son and a husband.
I don't stress out about it, I just enjoy life and keep it at least clean for health reasons (while not sparkling 7 perfect 24/7).
