Sorry for the long hiatus...

For the one or two people who actually check my blog, sorry for the long hiatus. Those who know me know that I'm usually in one of two states: busy or resting (i.e. feeling lazy).

I take care of what's necessary, but the stuff I should do (e.g. cleaning the house, de-cluttering rooms, washing sheets and making the beds, etc.) always gets put off. And put off...and put off...and--you get the idea. I watch Clean House sometimes to motivate me, but my progress is slow. I can honestly say our house is nowhere near as bad as the ones on the show, but it's nothing to brag about.

The one room I did work on, I have been trying to keep relatively clean and clutter free. But the clutter starts again right away--especially with the kids. Just a few things at first, but that's all it takes. Those few items act like a magnet for more clutter. It's an uphill battle (figuratively and literally). You have to be on top of it all the time. I just don't think I have the energy to keep the whole house that way all the time.

I'm diving in. Wish me luck. If I'm not out of the pile of debris in one hour, send the rescue team in!
