Personal time vs housework

I love "all things neat". I must admit I am obsessed with keeping things neat, clean, put away, in their own place/bin/box or space in a room. I am bothered by everything from fingerprints on windows, dirty screens, film on the shower doors to toys being put away in the wrong bin and toys, puzzles or games missing pieces.
Ugh! There you go.
I bet you think my house is super clean and neat now don't you? The ugly truth is, it is not clean, there are leaf bits on my kitchen floor and currently there is unfolded laundry all over my living room floor.
My screens are not all clean, the toys are mostly put away (but it was a really nice day outside and the kids played outside for much of it), there are lots of fingerprints on my windows, and sadly even finger or maybe tongue smears :-( Ick!
So, most days I stress about having the time to clean the smears, fold the laundry, clean the floors, and let's not forget about the toilets!

Well, the Lord gave me a nudge today. I believe that my focus needs to be on caring for my children and the children I do daycare for first, and making sure they get the attention and affection that they need. I also believe that the Lord wants me to work hard to keep our home clean and tidy, because it is His blessing to us to live where we live.
I realize through the nudge I was given that my focus is more on the tasks then on the family. I often become hurried in my time with the children so I can get to the "work" that I have to do. I do not want to be too busy for my kids or my husband.
My prayer and goal for the rest of this week and the next is to find at least 10 minutes of personal one on one time with each of my children (above and beyond play all together times) to give them all time to see that I love and cherish them and they are more important to me than housework.

I have found in some instances I can do things together with the kids. For example, my son really enjoys "helping" do the dishes. Yes, it takes longer and it gets a little messier :-) But this is time that we can both feel love, time spent together and a sense of accomplishment.
I hope to take the time to do more "tasks" alongside my children, not only to teach them about responsibility and doing their part in a family setting, but also to simply be with them.
