An attempt to organize my life; or, how I learned to become a pod person

So I am doing this program to organize my house right now by setting up routines, which is kind of amusing with a 3 month-old. How can I expect to have a routine when he doesn't? Yes, I know I'm a hippie AP mommy who doesn't schedule her kid Moving on. Despite my inability to establish a routine in the last week I have accomplished the following:
1. Scrubbed with sponge and tooth brush the tile floors in my house
2. Cleaned the baseboards
3. Cleaned the fridge
4. Cleaned off my kitchen table
5. ORGANIZED BABY STUFF
6. Done laundry everyday
7. Typed up an excel sheet w/friends and family's addresses

and more....pause for station identification.

Who is this person? I now lysol wipe my toilets and sinks each day. What about becoming a mom did this? I mean I always fantasized about being a clean person. Not in a June Cleaver way, but in a god, wouldn't it be nice to have somewhere to put that way? That said my domestic obsession is taking its toll on my academics. I'm just not interested in theory or teaching. I want to be a mommy. Of course I'm in class for 12 hours a week, so I should not complain.

Now if I could find time to take a shower - that would be an accomplishment.
