Preparing to clean or cleaning to prepare?

I decided that I need to make a cleaning schedule. I get stuff done around the house but I always wait until it is to the point of borderline unacceptable. For example "Wow, I should really get laundry done because the heap of dirty clothes is twice as high as the basket" or "hmm, there sure are a lot of fist sized cat hair tumbleweeds rolling around on the floor". I tend to do better with lists so I figure if I make a list of specific chores to do on certain days I will accomplish a lot more and each task won't seem like a monumental challenge. More importantly, I need to get a handle on this before the baby comes because if I don't do everything without a baby, how will I do it with a baby? So.....I made the weekly chart of chores. Overall I'm pleased, but then it occurred to me what if when the baby comes my schedule is worthless? I'll be on a baby schedule. Do I simply modify the chart? Do I say screw charts, there is no cleaning schedule when a baby is in the picture? Will some chores get thrown out the window as new ones are introduced? Am I over thinking this? Probably. But not really because cleanliness is extremely important with an infant especially when they start crawling around. I don't need my baby hacking up hairballs too. Also, I don't want my kid to grow up in a dysfunctional mess. But is there such thing as an acceptable functional mess? GAH!!

I think I'll just stick to my chart for now. If nothing else, I'll have a clean house for the next 6 months.
