It's a mess!

I used to live in filth…back when I lived by myself and even before that.  I would leave dishes all over the place; clean laundry was mixed with dirty laundry in piles on the floor.  It didn’t bother me at all.  Fast forward to today… living like this really bothers me now.  It makes me uptight, grumpy, and frustrated.  But the difference is that years ago I had plenty of time to clean up I just chose not to.  Now I really want to have a clean and un-cluttered house but I just don’t have the time.  The girls were part time (3 days/week) at school up until 3 weeks ago, but now they are full-time.  I now realize that on my day home and Ryan’s day home we at least got a few things done, and it made way more of a difference than I realized!  I would usually do several loads of laundry, pick-up, vacuum, and swiffer just so the 1^st floor looked decent.  I would do this during the girls’ afternoon nap.  There are just not enough hours in the day now!  And don’t even get me started on all the things that need to be done outside…
