a toddler with a clean house is an oximoron

So I have been trying for almost two years to keep my house clean since having Jr.  I have found it more and more difficult now that she is so mobile and so busy.  I clean up the living room, just to turn around and see she has all her toys out again.  I never even got to the point of sweeping or mopping it yet. I could do it all when she is sleeping, but I am usually so exhausted by then, that I fall right asleep with her.  I am wondering if I will ever get the house clean. 

I also think of our basement.  Well I really don't want to think of our basement.  We have a room that is useless down there.  Well I am sure the mice find it quite useful as that seems to be their entrance into our 1930's house.  It is the old coal room.  I want to go in there and clean up that room.  I would love to make it a storage room, but I would first have to block access to the entrance of where the mice come in.  I would also have to put a light in there.  We bait the mice who come into our house, so I really don't want to take Jr down there while I am cleaning, never mind I am almost afraid what I will find down there as for the mice who took the bait. 

I know someday, I will find the time and energy to keep my house clean.  I will even get help from Jr.  But as for now, I think I will satisfied that she is healthy and happy, and my house can wait.
