[QUOTE="Jody, post: 363295, member: 8787"] My house is the same way. A mess. I absolutely hate it and am making changes, but by the time I get one thing done, and before I can see any great differences, the things I have cleaned up are a mess again. I think we can chalk this up to stress. I am truly not a lazy person. I work, I do yard work, housework, and yet it never does get really organized. I am tired and stressed during the week and have some health issues, so energy like I would like to have is also an issue, but my difficult child is very lazy and getting her to do anything is a full-fledged battle. I have to get in the habit of cleaning up right after dinner, right after I start a project. I also need to start setting more realistic goals. My eyes see that so much needs to be done, which makes me frustrated and then physically I can't get it all done, so then I am really frustrated. I always say if I could get it cleaned up, then I could keep it up. That might not be such a true statement either. I know it will be much better when I am living by myself again. [/QUOTE]
