It might get Deep! *BeWaRe*

I just have to get this load off my couch! I have always been a pigsty kind of person. Ahhhh, I feel better all ready about admitting my imperfections! It is truly gratifying! My mom and dad chose not to fight that battle with me when I lived at home. My room was a MESS!!!! You could barely walk through the door (if you could open it). Then, I got married to ummm...Mr.OCD. He does not think this of course. I would walk in his room at his house and let's just say perfect describes it best. So, our worlds collided. Mrs.Messy and Mr.Tidy! Our first home was a tiny 2 bedroom 1 bath duplex. It did NOT have much storage and needed to be really organized to stay clean. Ha ha! I tried really hard at first, but you know I just could never keep up. So, we lived with a HUGE pile of  dirty clothes always on the bathroom floor and a HUGE pile of dishes on the counter by the sink. We did not have a working dishwasher to make matters worse! Well, anyways has the years have gone on my sweet patient never saying any harsh words husband has dealt with messes. I really do not know what came over me, but my dad just laughs. He wonders who is this girl who has a house that is usually pretty clean. I would NOT say always picked up, but yes it is clean most of the time. Jason honestly has never, that I can remember, said an ugly word to me about the house. We do joke about the laundry that good grief just keeps appearing on the couch. I do love that I am so open to share a picture of the mountain of laundry on the couch on facebook today and people flocked to empathize with me. SO, all this to say I heard part of a radio talk show today. It sums up what I love about having a clean house. If your house is clean then all these things seem to happen more frequently....you and your husband can sit and talk and NOT worry about all the clutter around you, you feel more apt to have impromptu get togethers, you are not as stressed in general, etc. So, what if you do the same things over and over again. Yes, your going to wipe counters off who knows how many times, there will be a never ending cycle of clothes to be washed,and the floor will need to be swept numerous times a day. Just do it and you will feel better! Let me just say though....that we love having people over even if the floor needs to be swept and there is clutter on the desk. Sometimes you have to get over having a perfect house and have FUN! I have tried all different systems to make things run more smoothly at our house. All I can say is teach your kids YOUNG to help do daily chores. I am not great at many things, but I do appreciate every article of clothing and every towel I do not have to pick up because my kids KNOW where they belong!!!!! They also help with lots of other things around the house too. One day when they get married I want them to be more like their Daddy, Mr. or Mrs. Tidy! Thank you to all my peeps who helped motivate me today and get that huge LOAD off my couch. I am sure even if he did not say a word Mr. Tidy enjoyed seeing the couch again. :)
