Day five of summer vacation. So far, so good.
Currently listening to two oldest children fighting, like to think of it as our summer themed background music--it plays a lot. After a while it's like elevator music, hardly even notice it.
Quite enjoying the lazy mornings. Lazy meaning still up at 6:15, just enjoying not going from sleep to fifth gear in 60 seconds.
House cleanliness: approximately 67%.
Okay for now, cannot maintain sanity and 67% cleanliness for extended period of time.
Leaving for three days to attend Youth Conference in mere 36 hours, taking oldest child.
Expected house cleanliness upon return: approximately 38%.
If house is still standing, and all four remaining children are unscathed- will accept 38% happily.
Hoping to ban entire family for minimum 4 hours from house for recovery mission.
Clean House = Happy Mama
Clean House cleaned by Mama = Even Happier Mama
Happy Mama = Happy Family

It is funny to hear about summer from the other side of the fence...
I am enjoying the lazy mornings as well. Having kids run in and out of the house ALL DAY long... not so much. We will survive the next ten and a half weeks, right?
School is not out yet here. Two more days. I'm very very scared.
Once upon a time I had a clean house. Now I have 5 children and have learned to grudgingly accept a tidy house. One day I will once again have a clean house, but alas, will no longer have children at home. I think I will appreciate the clutter & clammer while I have it. (Especially because my oldest will be a Junior in HS next year. GASP!)
But I completely relate to your 38% plan. I will be leaving the hubby home with the 3 youngest while the oldest 2 and I attend girls' camp again this year. 38% would be a welcome improvement over last year. ;)
Thanks for once again making my world of craziness seem somewhat normal for a house with 5 kids!
Dear Diary,
Hurry and get up here to visit me already. It's about time! We need to get in a little pea run!
