Day One.

Come on a little tour of my messy house...

This was Tuesday night. 

The Living Room

OK... Those laundry baskets I will admit have been there since Monday (I really need to put those clothes away). The giant Green things behind the door are the boys bean bags, there isn't really anywhere else for them to live, so there they are. That tank has a turtle in it, and the jugs of water next to it are to refill the turtle tank regularly (once again, nowhere else for them to live). Then there is just the general every day mess; boys blankets on the couch, stuffed animal on the floor. And YES, Those are rabbit ears next to the TV. NO, I don't have cable. 

Kitchen

Yup, there are dishes in my sink. There will pretty much always be dishes in my sink. Even after I do the dishes there are dishes in my sink. Lunch boxes on the counter a couple piles of mail and some fruit. The biggest offender in this room... notice the corner of a box on the floor next to the counter. Thats been there for months, it has a food processor in it that I want but I don't really have anyplace to keep. 

Dining Room

Lucky You, you get a closeup of my mail on the counter here! There are some clothes on the table (I really, really need to put those clothes away). Thats my basil plant over there next to the window and some papers from school. That rocking chair is in here because it's out of the way in that corner, I want it to go through that door behind it and live in that room but I haven't figured out how to get it through the door. 

The "Back Room"

This room is usually the worst offender in the house. All of our games and arts & crafts stuff lives in here, so it can get messy pretty quickly.  I cleaned it out about a month ago, and since it's been nice out the kids have been playing outside instead of in here. Eventually that rocking chair will live in here too. 

 

Bathroom

I'm standing in the Bathtub to get this picture (see my arm in the mirror). The only mess in here is the laundry pile that usually in in a basket, but the basket is in the living room waiting to have its contents put away (I really, really, really need to put away that laundry). Nothing to see here, move along.

Kids Room

This room is huge! I'm standing on a bed, and the other bed is next to it. ALL of the toys live in here so that (hopefully) their mess will be contained in here. We haven't been home much lately, so it's very clean in here right now. 

My Room

My room actually is a mess... I admit it. Thats a pile of sheets next to the dresser. All kinds of crap covering my dressers. And there's even more stuff that you can't see in this picture (see me in the mirror). After cleaning the rest of the house I just don't care anymore when I get to my room. If you don't like it, don't come in. I'll keep the door shut. Sometimes I do get it to look clean, but it almost never lasts.
