I am not superwoman! And I think that's ok. :) Sometimes it really gets to me that my kitchen isn't really clean, or that I can't see my bedroom floor because there is a thick layer of dirty clothes covering it. But the more i go through life as a busy mom, wife, writer, business owner, event planner, LEGO builder, fitness coach, and emotionally unhinged artist, the more I realize that my house may never be clean.
There was a time when I thought it would be a good idea to schedule chores. For example, Monday would be laundry day. Finally I wouldn't feel like I was constantly doing laundry! Well that idea was shot right out of the water after my kids went outside on a Wednesday! And cleaning the bathroom on Thursdays...I have two small boys. Need I say more. Even trying to keep the kitchen cleaned after dinner is a huge undertaking. After I spend the day running after kids, catering to the world, baking cupcakes, and skipping meals, my evening would usually end in a food coma. (I tend to make up for not eating all day, at dinner time) Plus there is bath time, more running, story time, then finally bed time.
They say you have to find a balance....I am finding that hard to do! What do "they" even mean by balance? hahahah I like to think that a clean house means a boring life. I saw a sign once that read "Don't mind the mess, the kids are making memories" I don't want to find a balance because that just means I will have to give up something fun and awesome that I'm doing, just to clean the house. My house is messy because I have BETTER THINGS TO DO! That should be a sign posted at my front door. More to serve as a warning, but I like it!
So for the record, a messy house is not ideal to me. And yes, it bothers me when people come over and fluff the crumbs off my kitchen table, or pick the unfolded clothes off the couch before they can sit down. But that's my life. If you don't like, don't come over.
