Any working moms ever do this...

Question

Use a vacation day to take off of work just to clean house?

Pretty sad, huh?

(Everyone at work keeps telling me to enjoy my day off tomorrow... if they only knew, LOL!)

Answer 1

God, yes! I've been known to do that a few times, actually. Once, I took a few days off for spring cleaning and gutted my house. Unfortunately, I need to do that again already. lol

Answer 2

I understand the feeling.  Everytime I take off work its because I have multiple appointments for either myself, my son or I have to go grocery shopping.  I understand your need to get things done.

Answer 3

lol! i'm not a mom, but that sounds like something i'd do when i have children!! lol

Answer 4

YEP! I can't seem to get any real cleaning done on the weekends with our busy schedule. So once in a while I take a day off just to clean. I still send my son to the babysitter - I can't get anything done when he's home. It's so nice to be at home BY MYSELF!!!

Answer 5

A girl I used to work with would take a day off every other week just to clean her house. The thing is, she had a cleaning lady. She would take off work to clean the day before the cleaning lady came over because she said the house was too filthy for anyone (even someone who is coming over just to clean) to see. I thought she was crazy.

Answer 6

Good for you! I think if that's what you need to do to keep your sanity, go for it.

Just remember to take a vacation day when the kids are all in school to go do something FUN -just for you!!

Answer 7

YES! i do this every once in a while. but then i find that i still need a day to myself. if only i could take a second day to just lay around in my nice, clean house. then perhaps a shopping day. haha!

Answer 8

Yes, to use a vacation day just to do things around the house.  It's not sad.  Just make sure you don't spend the whole day doing it, and to do something else too.

Answer 9

YES!!!!!!!!!  In fact I am doing this tomorrow....what a coincidence!

Dishes, laundry, vaccuuming, cleaning.  WHOOHOO!  Have a great day :)

Answer 10

Ha ha ha ha ha...

I wish I could  do that...

I am a stay-home-mom...My work comes with me...  UGH!

Have fun tomorrow and I hope you accomplish all of your goals!  :)
