Work

Work is the last thing anybody wants to do! But, we have to none the less and us mom's work 24 7!
Whether you stay at home or work outside the home as well, it's a long and tiring day! Here are a few suggestions to help make your "daily" duties a little more less stressful.
1.Laundry
Make each person responsible for washing, drying, and putting away their own clothing. Write and post some basic instructions in the laundry room. Have a trial period where your trainees assist you with their clothing.
If you get truly overwhelmed by your laundry, check out a local Laundromat that will wash, dry, and fold your loads for you. These services frequently charge by the pound for laundry and aren't inexpensive, but may save you time and energy when life starts to overwhelm.
2.Filing Paperwork
Make filing time coincide with a favorite show that you feel guilty for taking time to watch. Most filing can be done with little thinking, and you'll get to watch your favorite show in the process. Sort the papers into categories based on your file names. Don't forget to include trash. You'll be surprised how much of the pile you won't need to keep.
3Clearing Clutter
Find a local charity to donate items to prior to a clutter clearing session. Some charities may even be able to pick up your donations at a prearranged time, saving you a trip.
Label various storage containers before you begin to sort your clutter. A label makes placing items in the right category a much easier task.
Go through and grab obvious trash as the first step. Once the trash is gone, it makes it easier to see what you want to keep, and just how much stuff you'll need to get rid of.
These are obviously just a few suggestions to help ease your day! if you have little kids then some of these can be done when they take a nap or watching a kids movie! take a little time each day to savor your favorite coffe or tea and put your feet up and relax...the dishes will get done sometime,  toys will get put away later, trash will get taken out, so just take a few minutesto recharge and for you to collect your own thoughts! some of these ideas were from -housekeeping.about.com
