Full time working mothers - are your houses clean?

I am a full time working mother of three children and a husband. While my house is not one you could come through with a white rag and find absolutely nothing wrong with it , I push my self to clean and luckily I have a husband who helps me out and at least puts forth the effort in doing somethings either with me or by himself. With three children 6,5,3 a house can be torn apart in a matter of minutes and we have strict rules at my house. Even still my house seems to somehow find its way to needing to be cleaned in the 3 hours before bedtime. Trust me there are some days where I just want to forget it all and relax but I know if I don't do it now its just twice as much later. Work together with your husband or even your kids. Have your husband look after the baby , plug the ipod into your ears and sink in to mommy time but at the same time accomplish what needs to be done. They after the baby is asleep sit back and relax, I notice as well that I am a lot more relaxed if I am sitting in a straightened up house rather than a messy one. It leads to a cleaned state of mind! Hope this helps !
