I have always admired someone who can keep a clean home. I want to be that person, really I do but I am having a hard time getting motivated. We aren't dirty people just cluttered. I recently joined Flylady and started the whole process with such gusto that hubby was actually amazed with how clean our house looked. I guess you can say I fell off the wagon. It doesn't help that we live in a one bedroom apartment and my living room serves as my office. I work for Ashley Furniture and we often comment that Ashley has overtaken us! I can guarantee you that our first child will not be named Ashley. Because each time we called the child's name-there would be gnashing of teeth-somehow that does not seem right to put our child through that.
Anyways-we are about to embark on a six state tour traveling to Mount Rushmore and when I get back school starts. (I am in the process of finishing my degree!) So my motivation to get my house in gear has kicked up a notch. Already I have washed a load of laundry, emptied the dishwasher, cleaned out a little section off my desk, emptied the trash cans and will be vaccuming before the day is done. I know how much better I will feel when my house is back in order. Plus, the joy that will come from walking into my house after a long journey and see it all cleaned ready to go.
Now if that is not motivation I don't know what is!
Maybe if I get brave I will do a before and after picture of my living room, office and dining room-they are all entwined together. One day soon, 6 months to be exact, we will be in a house and hopefully this phase of my life will help me in establishing routines and what not for keeing a happy, organized home. But until that time comes I am off to clean!

This isn't about your post, but I wanted to stop by and say thanks for commenting on my D*I*R*T*Y*T*A*L*K. It was actually several years ago and I doubt Ed even remembers.
Also, I was glad to see that someone else's nerd score was about what mine is. (8) At the time, I felt a little, um, not smart!
Happy Cleaning! It is nice to come home to a clean house. Have fun on your trip. You will have to tell us all about it when you get back.
