Household

Organizing and Restoring My House to Order
I have been feeling very behind in the house organization area.  I love a clean organized house.  This is something I have learned is very hard to do for a few reasons:

KIDS: there is no getting around all of there stuff, papers, toys, dirt, clothes ect.




DOG: I love my dog and she loves garbage and stealing food.   I realize this is bad behavior and right now I am too lazy to correct that in more permanent ways.  Isn't she cute!!!

TIME: I thought once a few of my kids were in school that this would be easier. Boy! was I wrong.  By time I get them ready, and to and from school sometimes all my time is taken up in a day.
MONEY: My baseboards, walls and doors need paint...I need tile in my kitchen and 1/2 bath.  The list is miles long and in this economy there is never enough money.  With groceries continually rising in price, along with gas, and what a family of five needs all the time the money never stretches far enough.

I am sure there are many other factors to this, but these seem to be the things keeping me from a "House of Order."

I read this blog last week on this exact topic and loved it.  This lady reminds me a lot of myself and what  I TRY to do.  She just seems a lot better at it than I am.

I decided starting on November 1, 2012 I will take control back.  I am thinking to get things back on working order it will take at least until the end of the year and I am hoping to document each step along the way.  I am realistic that it will not always be pretty or easy.  I do know that it will be totally worth it in the end.
