You may have noticed that there is sandwich bread made...that is for the snacks! I finally had to just have whole wheat bread/peanut butter available at all time as a free-for-all snack. (I also try to have beans/fixings for burritos) It's astonishing how quick it is eaten!
I've tried to teach everyone to just take care of their own messes- it makes everything sooo much easier! If anyone grumbles about laundry, I smile and ask them if they'd like to switch with me
I tell them that they don't have to clean up my messes/room/bathroom/laundry, and I don't need to do theirs.
It's true, things are fairly organized. It's self defence, I think!! Can you imagine how stressful it would be for 9 people to be in total chaos?!?!? ACk!! Well, there wouldn't be 9 of us!
I don't like to be stressed, so the best thing *for me* has been to streamline things as much as possible. That allows for time to have fun and enjoy life!
And......some days it's best just to throw up my hands and declare that "tomorrow is a new day"
