You know what I'm talkin' 'bout. Those days when you feel as if you're getting yourself in deeper in whatever kind of hole you're in. That's me today...and always :) My house is disastrous...well, my room, the boys's room, the living room, the bathrooms (of course), and our computer room (the catch-all for 'I don't know where to put it'). The only rooms I feel I have a handle on as far as cleanliness goes for today is Ty's bedroom and the kitchen. At least there are TWO rooms in the house I can feel ok walking into. The problem is, my living room is right in the middle of everything I do. I can't seem to keep it straight.
You know the saying: "This too shall pass". I know that day will come all to quickly when there are no more messes on the floor and little handprints on the windows and walls. As for right now, I could really use a maid - 24 hours a day. Some days I really do wonder about that 'cloning' thing. It would be really nice to have 2 or 3 more of myself to just 'keep up' on everything.
I guess it's time for me to be done moaning and groaning because I have two little hands wanting to 'help' me type and use the mouse.

Hang in there Kim! I know you are doing the best you can and that is all that can be asked of you.... Call if you need something.
Kim, I feel just like you on many, many days. Sometimes I say to myself, "I did not get an education and prepare my whole life to be a maid."
And then I say, "YOU'RE RIGHT." Because that's not what I do or who I am, and that's not the role I was meant to play.
It's not the role any of us were.
We are mothers, homemakers, trainers of the next generation. And that is very messy business. :)
I really can't imagine the day that walls are clean and rooms stay the way I leave them, but I hear it happens!
And then we'll be glad for all the good time we spent playing, reading, and enjoying our kids.
(Even if the house was messy.)
sometimes i feel like i am cleaning in circles. i always say it is like turning your back on the ocean....you can't do it b/c once you do a huge wave comes and then disaster happens. I feel like i can never turn my back to "my house" b/c then it looks like a disaster happened...make sense? constantly cleaning..constantly cleaning...constantly cleaning...aaaahhh!!
OHMYGOSH, Kim, I KNOW!!!!!!!!!! I so hear every word that you typed! ACK!!!!!!!!!!! I could go on and on and on and on and you made my day just to read this blog post! Love you!
I like what President Monson said--that some day we will miss all the fingerprints and other messes ... but I think I still have a lot of messy days to come!
