I'm tired of being embarrassed.
You know when you have someone come over unexpectedly and they get a glimps of your messy house?
Yeah, happened to me twice this past week.
First my darling sister in law came to peek at our new cabinets right after Lola had just destroyed the living room and I was so embarrassed!
So I vowed to get my house in better order so I'm not embarrassed when I have an unexpected visitor.
So that living room has stayed clean since.
But then today happened....
My family was in town for Clovers baby blessing and my sister and her hubby came to hang out at our house afterwards.
Wasn't expecting them to come over, but I was 100% cool with it because I had a nice clean living room they could hang out in.
BUT I forgot about the bathrooms!
And my dear brother in law got to see both disasters.
One is close to our kitchen and has suffered with all the remodeling, it was basically abandoned....
and the other has suffered 4 people going in and out of it 100 times a day and it wasn't looking so hot.
I was so embarrassed!
And I'm tired of it.
I want that house that is always clean.
And I'm gonna get it.
I may have to hire someone....
Or put my children in cages.....
But at this point,
That doesn't sound so wrong.

Awww, I feel bad! Sorry to drop in on you like that. And thanks for the food! ;) Also, I love you!
p.s. you know how messy my room always was before I got married. I always thought of myself as s messy person who would have a messy house. But I don't think that about myself anymore, I consider myself a pretty clean person. Try to stop thinking of yourself as someone who has a messy house and start thinking of yourself as someone who has a clean house. It's like the self-fulfilling prophecy - if you think of yourself as a person who is clean, it will become easier to keep a clean house. I know it's different for me because I don't have kids to deal with, but for me, having a mess around feels more stressful and annoying than cleaning up the mess.
How ironic that me your bestest messy friend has a house that is clean almost all the time! granted. i don't clean lestat's room because that's pointless and you know why! second i keep my office clean but then mess it up on purpose almost like i'm embarrassed that the rest of the house is clean! I'm holding on the last room of the house that is mine and refusing to hang up my laundry lol I'm clinging to what youth i have left!
I had Jane gone for 2 hours with Vance and my house was near spotless! Vance asked how I could even do it and I said, "I can go crazy on the house anytime you get Jane out of my hair," because it is hard sometimes with kids. I also let Jane play in the but (when it is clean) she goes down the back end and pretends it is a slide and I go crazy cleaning. But I know what you mean... and you have a valid excuse with remodeling.
