Sacrifice

So, I don't know about you, but in this lovely, cramped, 2 bdrm apt, I find deep cleaning and cleaning in general sometimes, a VERY big feat to tackle. In order for my living room to get to this phase and look like this for a bit.... I must do this to my children.....
Yes, they are locked in their room via a gate. I sacrifice their room to get the rest of the apartment to look some what livable again. They will last for an hour (maybe), but when it goes onto the second hour there is begging, meltdowns, and arguing. I know it is a hard thing to listen to, but I must clean, especially after everyone had a bit of a tummy something last weekend.
