And this....
And this...
With the satisfaction of knowing that your house looked like this:
Just to turn around and find it had already been messed up again and looked like this?!?!?
I do that a lot. And this is what I do...
I'm thinking about getting a sign like this, and just forgetting the whole thing!
So there you go...
Maybe a little bit of exaggeration in there when it comes to the messy house part. But it's how I feel my house looks sometimes. And I am tired and frustrated.
There's no lesson here. No tips. No recipes. Just showing you how I feel. Erg.
Right there with you. I was just thinking today as I cleaned truck loads of toys and shoes and jammies out of the living room for the 13th time this week, that the only way I will ever have a beautiful, clean house is if I live alone. Not sure it's worth the trade off. Chin up! It can't be this way forever right?
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely right. Thanks.
DeleteIt may be an exaggeration, but I enjoyed it. It's where I live! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it, Amanda! That is exactly the state in which I live. I call the disaster zone. :) Thanks for sharing.

I'll have to adopt that name! LOL! :)
DeleteI NEED that sign. I feel that way a lot too. I read in a Bible study that our families won't remember how clean the house was, but they sure will remember if we freaked out every time they mess it up.
ReplyDeleteI still try to keep it clean, but remind myself of that when the clutter starts making me crazy.
I loved this post!

What you read in your Bible study is so true, Jennifer. Sometimes it's hard to not freak out (and I won't lie and say I haven't), but I try to take a deep breath, count to 10 and start over again. Thanks for sharing, Jen.
