Clean Mess Home
I think we may need an ark. It hasn't stopped storming since yesterday morning. There is flooding everywhere here. Our son's soccer games have been cancelled two times already this week due to rain. Is the rain going to end? Oh no...there is more to come... I'm so tired of the rain.
When there's rain the kids have to stay inside and when they are inside they are wild and our home is a disaster. Like right now, there is an entire city being built in our living room. For some reason the boys won't play in their bedroom or the toy/junk room. They've got to drag toys to every room in the house. If someone were to stop by unexpectedly (not likely unless there is a huge mess so today would be the perfect day) it would possibly scare them into not coming back. Seriously.
Why is it that when your home looks the worst people drop in? Do they understand that this is what it looks like at all hours when you have kids? If your home is not a disaster 24/7 with kids can you tell me your secrets? Do you have OCD? Is OCD the secret to keeping a home clean? Are you secretly mommy dearest and threaten your kids with wire hangers if they don't play in their rooms? Or, maybe you just clean up after them every five seconds? Well, I'm none of the above. I make the kids clean up once they are really done playing with what they have out and usually the 2 year old is never done so stuff gets picked up once or twice during the day or night and usually it's just a mess. We aren't nasty. We're just cluttered. We have a clean mess. LOL.
I'm satisfied as long as our home smells good and that is easily done with candles.

I'm with you - my house is a clean mess. It isn't "dirty," but things aren't necessarily in their place. There are lots of toys floating around and laundry is a constant work-in-progress. Now that we're getting ready to move, we've got boxes everywhere, too. I'm hoping the bigger house will help get rid of the clutter, but it's possible it will just mean a bigger mess!
