Will My House Ever Be Clean Again?

I have been trying all morning long to get the kitchen clean and the house back in working order after Lake Powell and it's now 3:00 and it still looks like this...
And this is just on the top of my list. I still have the family room, bedrooms, bathrooms (disgusting), the grocery list and shopping still needs to be done and the basement to put everything away from the remodel, and still have painting and touch up work to do. I found Molly playing in the toilet again and I am still in my work out clothes (yes I started working out again), but I have not gotten in the shower because I just have to clean up after Molly and try to figure out why Stella is crying again. I never feel like I can get ahead! Well I guess I'd better go being as Molly is trying to shove a binkie (which Stella hates 98% of the time) down Stella's thought! Will my house ever be clean again?

NO! But seriously look at the picture again, the fridge doesn't have fingerprints all over it, the floor looks clean, the countertop is showing a reflection of the stuff on it. It's not that bad. Just keep priorities straight and remember that it can be clean, but during the day just a bit messy. Just set the goal of doing your best not the long to do list, and life with kids becomes so much more enjoyable.

I agree with McKenzie, it still looks pretty good. But I do know how you feel. In fact just yesterday for the first time I made a cleaning schedule to d certain rooms certain days of the week. It's just me and Ivy, but it's sooo hard to take care of an entire house and yard all by myself. Hopefully my little schedule will help. I'll have to come see your basement sometime!

What a fun Powell trip...give yourself a break Linds...you have quite a bit going on! My house is only clean when I am expecting someone :) ha...and as long as I am the one asking if my house will ever be clean and not my husband...then we are ok :) You are superwoman...and someday your house will be sparkling- and when I say that...that picture looks way better than my kitchen at this moment in time :)
