| This is how I feel - right this very moment! |
I am not perfect. I am NO WHERE near perfect. But, I do have a certain goal in my mind when it comes to my expectations of myself. I've been trying really hard to make improvements...but I just can't seem to do it!
My home. It's a mess! I take a day off of my WAH job to focus on cleaning. I tell myself that I will clean all day and the rest of the work will be complete focus on work. It never happens. Why is that?! I'll tell you...I have a family. I have a very lazy family!
I have a 19 year old son...there is a whole new level of dirt that I have never imagined. I also have a tween daughter who is following in her brothers footsteps and finally a 6 year old who stated to me last night that she is the "only one who cleans up".
When I wake up in the morning and I see piles of laundry, messy bathrooms, dirty dishes, and kids moving slow as molasses to get ready for school I just want to scream, then cry and bury my head under my blankets. I feel so defeated. How do other people do it?!
Things that irritate me (today):
- I fold the laundry and the kids take it to their rooms and promptly toss it on the floor.
- My husband eats his meal, tells me how yummy it is and leaves his plate on the table.
- Kids sneak food into their rooms - GROSS!
- The kids have their own bathroom...they shower and leave wet towels all over the floor...and laundry.
- No one helps with the dishes.
......I could go on, but it seems like this is getting me more upset than solving the problem.
So, what do you do to make your family more accountable?
