My house is a wreck right now, and we're trying to get our home study complete so we can move forward with adoption, etc. Some days I'm so frustrated with myself that I just cry, not even knowing where to start. I see all of these bloggy lady's homes on the internet that look perfect, with not so much as a perfectly placed throw pillow looking crooked and I get so ashamed of myself. This makes me feel better to know that there are other people out there like me and there is hope for a solution!

Thank you. Seriously. I recently had a fr...Jill! Thank you. Seriously. I recently had a friend move back into town... And I wanted to have her over, but my house is also a disaster- in the same way as yours, so I put it off. I finally told her, you know what, I am so busy and overwhelmed and I have so much to do that my house is the LAST thing to get done, even though I know how to do it and am prone to loving organization- I simple cannot keep up. And you can come over anyways. She actually used to own a cleaning business. So one Saturday, I hired her to come over and clean WITH me. It was humbling to say the least, but she didn't judge me and we had a blast. I normally don't pay my friends to hang out with me, but when they are scrubbing my oven and detailing the grout, while I pick up stinky solidified sippy cups (and chuck them strait in the trash)- I think payment is in order! After we whipped the downstairs seriously into shape (in about 4 hours) we had coffee and laughed. Life is meant to be done with people, even the unpleasant parts. Maybe especially the unpleasant parts because it makes them not as overwhelming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
