Domestic Goddess in training?

I suck at housework. I admit it. If I let things get too far gone, then I can't seem to start. My home is currently so cluttered I'd die of embarrassment if company dropped in. That said, my darling husband made arrangements for someone to pick up a couple of chinchillas tomorrow. Which means mega cleaning. As usual he promises to get up early with me. He still can't seem to keep a promise to me, which means I will be a whirling dervish tomorrow. My goal is to get back into my simple routines and keep up with the work again. I had it right a little over a year ago. My home was a pleasure to be in, I never feared surprise company. I intend to get back to that goal within 3 months at the most.
