just to keep it messy

I am a TV show kinda girl, I have a daily schedule of "relaxation" (umm....whose excited for the new DWTS?). Wednesday nights is The Middle, and Modern Family. Modern Family is funny, but I can relate to The Middle on so many levels. Last week the husby from The Middle was complaining about how between him and his wife they work 4 jobs, all just to stay poor. I don't work (in the world's sense) but I feel like I am constantly cleaning my house, and it is NEVER clean, it just basically stays the same (except for if I don't clean it gets bad....very bad). All this cleaning just to keep my house at its current level of messiness. Gahhh! I try not to get too frustrated though because I know there will be a time when I miss all of the pee spots on the carpet from Phoenix running around in the nude, and all of Audrey's animals scattered on the ground, and all of the smushed food spots on our kitchen floor. I just have to remind myself of that...a lot.

I am right there with you. I work so incredibly hard all day every day to maintain our mess. Some days I say heck why am I trying, then I see what happens when you don't try, and then it motivates me to try harder. I end up locking all of my kids outside to clean...just to invite them back in and maintain that same old mess. What a cycle. If that doesn't make you crazy I don't know what will. :)

You're not alone--I feel the same way! And I try to remind myself to enjoy it all the same, because one day I'll wish for it all back just to have my little ones again :)

The never-ending cycle. :) I can't wait for DWTS tonight! One of my favorites!

I feel the exact same way...ALL of the time!! It's exhausting, but worth it! :)

I totally understand. Matt and I have had to lower our standards of clean. Most of the time my house is so messy (despite the fact that I have been cleaning ALL day) that I don't even see it. Company comes over and they are walking around on tippee-toes and I am like, "What are you doing?" And then I realize that they are trying to dodge the disaster area that my child has whipped up in less than 5 minutes.
