I'm NOT Falling Behind

I find myself muttering this mantra as I feed my baby girl and think about all the things I NEED to do.
It's one of FlyLady's major quotes that she wants everyone to live by.  It makes sense.  I tell my husband (who is currently thinking of nicknames for himself that aren't Dad or Doc) all the time when he stresses out that no matter what, life will continue.  If he fails a test, birds will still fly and we will still wake up the next morning (or for me, a few hours after I finally pass out).  So if I don't get the house perfectly clean, then the same goes for me.  It's my stress.
This is not an excuse.  I know that if I just let everything be, it gets nasty and quickly in my house.  I look back on the days when I vacuumed every other day and I was so bored that I took up knitting to fill my time and keep my hands busy.  I miss my needles!
However, it is something I need to remind myself when days like today happen.  I didn't eat any actual meal.  I snacked and heated up things in the microwave because every time I went to do something without taking my baby girl with me, she let me know that she was not going to have it.  She's seems to be a lot more needy the last two or three days.  I think her teeth might be cutting or she's having a growth spurt.
But now she is finally asleep and I am taking a break from cleaning.  I have tons more to do, but I switched out the loads, washed three trash cans, folded and put away laundry, and attended the dogs needs.
As a Monday, today I should have spent an hour vacuuming, sweeping and mopping, and doing some other things; but it didn't get done.  And Tuesday will still happen.  Well, it is happening now, but in my world where it seems like someone always wakes up and needs Mama for something, I find that the day I woke up to exists until I actually go to bed, even if it is after rocking my baby girl to sleep finally at 5 in the morning and my husband is waking up to study real quick before going in to school.
Life will be much, much easier when we aren't so busy in our separate lives living in the same little house.
Okay, off to do one more chore and hopefully those diapers will be ready to go in the dryer.
