my house is a disaster

Sammy-Mae · January 2011

We left for the holidays on Christmas Eve. I was mean about it but I wanted Our house to be clean when we got home dammit. And it was. It sparkled. It smelled good. We walked in the door I felt relief. Then the house exploded. DH brought in the baskets of presents (mostly toys) our busted luggage etc. Then the next day I bought groceries and ran errands and now my house is destroyed. I have spent a good chunk of my day organizing the play room, sorting clean laundry and de-christmasing my house. It's turned into what I call schitzo cleaning. I will be cleaning my livingroom, put something in my kitchen, remember something I want done in there and clean there for a while. The end result is that I cleaned for three hours and my house is still a disaster. Next year for christmas I am asking for a wife. I am giving up for a while.

I hear you. My frustration is with someone in my house who doesn't do a thorough job with anything and having to redo everything myself. Right now I am shovelling the driveway because snow has built up into huge packed down ridges. Like 6-8 inches of packed snow that I am trying to get rid of so I can drive on it properly and so it doesn't look horrible. Sorry, just made your vent my vent.

no worries. I spent a whole day cleaning friday and it lookedlike i did nothing. We worked for about an hour yesterday and nothing. I had a nap this morning because i got that damn cold that's going around and DH surprised me by doing a bunch of work. It will be done tomorow. I hope.

My house looks like that all the time. I say don't sweat it, it will get clean eventually.

We finally just finished putting the last of the christmas stuff in it's rightful place today. then we had a leak in the room and it's a disaster again. We had to move everything out of my craft area. Yay more cleaning tomorrow.

I feel your frustration. I'm trying to focus on keeping small areas up so I don't have to start all over. I was doing really well and then I got this damn cold that prevented me from being able to do anything for a week. I got my closet clean yesterday though. It sounds small but it's such a relief to have everything organized in it's place and not having to search for something and to see nice folded piles instead of clumps of sweaters. Now if only I could get the office sorted out. Maybe next weekend.

I feel ya! We finally got the house back together and looking nice and orderly after putting away the Christmas decor...and now it's in complete disarray for the next week b/c they are replacing our floors. It's a total mess and it drives me crazy.

Three cheers for my husband!

He's laid off, there were no good jobs posted yesterday so I came home to a clean house! Completely unprompted and unhinted at by me! It's awesome.
