Help!??
Question:I need help. Ok. i have big house. ( it's actually small but to big for me.) And I need to clean it. We have 10 rooms. And 6 people live here. 2 rooms are junk rooms. And we have a poch and a pool. Now listen up. Im in 5th grade and in a R.E.A.C.H class. i don't get to see any of my old friends.Some think we're stuck up. But we never see them. One of my friends wants to come over.My mom says we have to clean the housebefore he can. He asks all the time-and look in his eyes and I feel so bad! He relies on me-but I take forever. it's happend once. I want him to be my friend for a long time. We don't talk at all cuz I can't see him. Anyway,it has to be done in 2 weeks without me messing it up. I have tons of homework. ( I've been in the hospital with my brother for 11 days-lots of work. I have a mean teacher-she makes everyone cry. Really!! Anyway!. I got so much to do. The house is a mess. How do I keep it clean? Make me a plan. I've tried eveything! What do I do? HELP!! :(

Set your timer for 15-30 minutes at a time and work through this list methodically. When the timer goes off, take 15 minutes (no more!) to reward yourself for your hard work. Then get back to work!
Read this site it has some sort of fun tips to try..Good Luck!=)
Well I have a better idea, why don't you let him see your house? It really doesn't sound like a good idea but at least you are able to show it to him and kept your promise.
P.S. Start cleaning. Start. Start. Start. Know. Finish your assignments then start cleaning!! CLean CLean CleanN!
make a schedule, you can do an hour and a half or so of homework each day, and then do and hour and a half of cleaning each day. but always do it ASAP so that you don`t get sidetracked with something else!!
Well, it depends on what responsibilities are yours. Does your mom rely on you to clean the whole house? Are there other people in the house who should help? This needs to be discussed with your mom and the other members of the household. The part that is your responsibility is your room. You will be surprised to find out that you can get a lot done in an hour. Spend one entire day cleaning without wasting time. Take short breaks with a bottle of water, but don't take breaks longer than 5 minutes. Maintaining it then will be much easier than letting it go. After one day of cleaning be sure to spend at least an hour on it a day. The most important part about your problem will be resolved when you discuss it with your mom.
get an empty laundry hamper and carry it from room to room and pick up the stuff that doesnt belong to the room put it in its right place. next vaccuum and dust.
next day clean the kitchen really well and the bathrooms. then it will be a matter of cleaning as you go
next day get all the laundry and your bedroom picked up make your bed etc.
make a deal with your mom that if your friend comes over you will get the main areas of the house clean and close the doors to the bedrooms and junk rooms. also the day before your friend comes over clean the house again but this time it wont be so bad as long as you get in the habit of picking up after yourself.
This is the girl that wrote the question. I got 2 accounts,anyway- I want friend and family time too- but I really Like my friend and I feel SO bad. I hate it!!! What to DO!!!!!!!!!!... ( crying-not really but I am inside.)
