I am hosting book club this weekend. I have been cleaning all week to get my house half way presentable for my lovely book club ladies. I can now see my floor in the living room. Why can I not keep my house clean once it is clean? I know there are people out there that keep their houses clean and do so on a regular basis. My excuse has always been my kids but, let's be honest, it's me too. It is just so frustrating to clean and then have your kids or husband come behind you and leave things laying around. I have enough laundry that I could wash every day and still not get caught up. My dishes are the same, with everyone eating at home during the summer my sink can pile up in an afternoon. It is amazing how big my living room is when it is not covered in shoes, book bags, sweatshirts, books, dog toys, and anything else that doesn't seem to have a home.
I have read some books and seem some things on social networking boards about organization and cleaning. I have tried to use those tips but I always get behind and end up trying to do a months worth of cleaning in a day or two. I am beginning to think there is no hope for me and organization.
I have a couple things left to do tomorrow and I should be ready for my book club party. I may have to have the family over since my house is already clean. I give it a week and it will be cluttered with new stuff, especially since we are getting geared up for school.
