Cleaning house

Well, next week we will have reached one year of home ownership. Is it what I thought? Not at all. It has been more work than I ever thought it would be. I don't know that it is different from renting a house, but we definitely have more pride in the place and try to keep it looking pretty nice, though you probably can't tell:) It's such a fine balance to clean house and enjoy house. When we get home from work, the last thing we want to do is clean, but if we put it off, it always winds up being worse when cleaning time comes. So, with all of the frustration with cleaning house, we have now devised a cleaning schedule. I know it's not for everyone, but I'm hoping it makes things manageable for us. Sorry if I come off as complaining, we are definitely blessed to have a house, we're just working through our first year of home ownership. I welcome any tips:)
