This morning I realized what is truly my impossible dream - I know you are dying of suspense... what could it be... winning lottery ticket, instant weight loss of all pounds acquired from all pregnancies, or maybe a night of uninterrupted sleep?? Nope! Mine is far easier (and thus should be far more attainable)!
All I want is for both kids bedrooms and the living room to be clean at the same time. I know it sounds simple, but I have found it is IMPOSSIBLE!
I have all these friends that appear (yes I said it - appear! Only because I have 3 kids and KNOW it just some slide of hand trick when I come over) to keep beautifully clean homes. HOW?!?!
Are your closets bursting at the seams like the one on Zooboomafo?
I spent the better part of the morning yesterday cleaning one bedroom, putting everything in its correct buckets, bins, or drawers. And then threatening to go all Sid the mean neighbor (Toy Story) on their toys if they did not keep it clean.
This only backfired and led to them all playing in the other bedroom - which now looks like a tornado of princesses, pirates, and hotwheels has hit.
I do not have the energy to clean it - because I know that the second I do they will switch back to the other room and tackle my living room in 1.2 seconds and the whole ugly cycle will just continue on.
Thank goodness I have an understanding husband who also follows my philosophy on the appearance of the house -
"Clean enough to be healthy, but dirty enough to be happy!"
