We haven’t @Jojo2, and we won’t ....
Concentrate on keeping things as simple as you can then .... made beds, a swept floor .... toys stashed in the laundry basket (or the washing machine if you need them out of sight) and washed dishes are the basics (leave dishes to drain dry on a tea towel).
Got a spray cleaner for the bathroom ? Cover your mouth to protect you while you’ve got the pneumonia .... turn on the shower and use the wet broom to wash the shower and floor, then mop over it with a towel choofing around under your feet.
Sandwiches keep the kids fed ....
Rest as much as you can, only doing little bursts of clean-up when you have to get up for something.
Are your kids little ?
