Passover cleaning

I tried to be on top of things this year.  With only ML and MEB home during the day I figured, finally I can really do the Passover cleaning like I like it to be done.  Boy oh boy am I wrong.

I put a list on the fridge.  All the different jobs the kids could possibly do organized by room.  Next to them was a number of points- the amount of points they would earn by doing the job.  For every twenty points they would get a dollar.  So for example cleaning up their floor was 6 points while mopping it was 4.  F was excited.  She finished her whole entire room the first day.  She loves things orderly and clean- thank you OCD!  Her room is officially the only one kosher for Passover right now.  T was excited until he realized he actually had to do something- G-d forbid he work at all.  Z on the other hand due to his OCD needs organized chaos. As I clean he is behind me putting things back from where I had just cleaned it from.  He gets home from school and undoes everything I have just done.  There goes my awesome Passover cleaning job!  

I guess I will go back to my old method- turn over the kitchen and everything else will fall into place.  At least if the kitchen is turned over we can eat.  If we can eat, everything else will be okay.
