Take care of your home

Big failure today- didn't even attempt to tidy a room, and this is one major area in which I need to improve!
I'm a terrible housekeeper, and my husband is even worse. Throw two kids and a dog into the mix and it results in one really messy household- and things have only got worse since I started training.
The kids seemed to have done better than I did- tidying up their rooms. I took the decision that I needed to spend my spare time today finishing my essay. Which I think I have...I hope.
