I have more questions to all those super organised mums around the world -how many hours are in your day? How many hours sleep do you get a night? How do you maintain your sanity? Do you have a super battery that gives your energy to last and last?

My house was perfectly clean today, all kids were at school / childcare giving me more time to run errands, clean & cook – we got home at 4.30pm so by the time dinner was served it was 5.30 – 6.

After dinner I washed the kids, read a book and fell asleep on the couch – BIG HUGE MISTAKE. The house is now in a mess, all the Thomas peices are everywhere, my eldest tried to change the birdseed but missed the bin and theres more.

Ok I know what your going to say – its our fault (hubby & I ) for falling asleep….right I accept that….but what I would love to know is how all your houses remain clean, tidy, you have time to be a wife, mother and not to mention be your perfectly & patient sanely self.

I look at your perfectly organised blogs, photos of your house & even your “past” time scrapbooking or photography and Im amazed, if not embarrassed by my blog, house and having no time for a hobby.

So my new questions are – what am I doing wrong? How do I regain my sanity? How do I still get 8 hours sleep? Finally, what is your secret???
