Pictures don't lie!

Photos I've now been a "housewife-SAHM" for 4years (I quit my job in fall 2001) I spent the first year spending atleast 5 hrs per day cleaning my house, washed every dish before it hit the sink, cooked 3 square meals per day, packed my partners lunch everyday including a little note or lip stick kiss on her napkins, I was always waiting on the front porch with a fresh drink for her when she pulled in the driveway and had dinner on the table. My second year I was pregnant(and running a licensed daycare out of my home) I kept this up until I was about 7.5months pregnant when I officially beached myself and things began to slide. After Olivia was born I adopted the "I'm a mom not a housekeeper" motto. Which would be fine except ANY mess atall literally stresses me out the the point that my head throbs. I've fallen into this vicious cycle, it repeats daily. Cook dinner, too tired to do dishes leave them. Wake-up to a dirty kitchen makes me want to scream, clutter, bills, toys shoes junk just piles up everywhere around my house. I joke that my entire house will be clean for atleast one hour everyday...Because truthfully that's about as long as it lasts. I've signed up for numerous online programs such as fly lady, but I hate shoes(grin). Its just getting out of control around here, I need to find a way to get myself into a good routine that maybe involves deep cleaning one room per day and doing a "quick pick-up" set a timer for 15minutes 3 times per day. I just pick up for that 15minutes and do as much as I can. I also don't think it would kill me to just wash the dishes *right* after dinner and them have them over with. I need to work on putting things away when I am done with them and encouraging Olivia to do the same. I am notorious for having 5drinks at one time, leaving glasses all over the house, bringing in the mail and leaving the junk mail on the counter, leaving dishes in the sink over night...and bathrooms? I HATE cleaning the bathroom, my vanity area is way too bad 100% of the time to even think about. Most homes have a junk drawer, my drawers are ALL junk drawers. Anyway this isn't really all about how messy my house has become or how I need to change that(which I do) Last year a message board I was a member of had a regular thread going of pictures like this, everyone had their own reason fo posting them. Today I took mine because I needed a kick in the ass to clean up my house! Its sorta fun to take a picture of my sloth and then clean I t up and take another picture to see the progress....Whatever it takes right? Besides who wouldn't want to look at other ppls slobbery, I know I always loved it, LOL!
