Housework is the first thing to slip for me too... I just do the bare minimum each week (clean bathrooms, vacuum, keep kitchen clean, laundry). Its just not possible with work, kids and everything else to do any more... And to make even that much work, I have to have ROUTINE. My brain goes into a tail spin if the routine gets disrupted!! So house cleaning and groceries are a certain day, laundry are certain days (that's washing the clothes - doesn't mean they get folded!!), cook dinners certain days so there are leftovers for the next night (i.e. days I work and don't have time to cook), certain parts of the kids' homework on the not so busy days.... + I get breakfasts and lunches ready the night before days I have to work...
