I get frazzeled too, Fairylite! Sometimes if I look at the big picture things can get totally overwhelming! My advice is to pick one thing to do everyday for the week! Like one day.. clean out the closets or one day pick a room to work on.. that kind of thing. Taking things one at a time or a project at a time makes things way easier. Also adhere to a schedule.! I can't tell you how much this has helped me.. on certain days I know I've got things penciled in that HAVE to be finished!

Best of luck!

dare and dianne were spot on. those hand held swiffer wiper things are great for dusting, they pick up everything.
just start with a bit and then go on. you actually end up doing more than you think you have, and when you realize that its a great feeling.
what i've started doing in the past few years is just throw things out/drop off at good will. when i do laundry, i take out old clothes, hang the clean ones up, and then put the good will clothes in my car immediately, the store is just up the street so i can drop off a whole bunch in one hit. books i have no interest in, i place by the front door and then give them to my mother in law,
i buy those clear plastic bins with white lids from wally world, which make for great storage, all different sizes
all of my kids toys have their own bucket. makes cleaning up a breeze.

just remember, you still have to take time out for yourself. load up the tub, close the door, and hang the sign "Be Afraid Be Very Afraid"....lol
