Maybe we could start a website? :)
Frustrating isn't it? I used to be so organized and I feel like I'm in a tornado. I see that some of the problem is that good old follow through, but sometimes I'm so exhausted.
Where are you from? Would love to keep in touch and take things a step at a time in getting our households back together. I LOVE this site, can hardly wait for the chat to open. Do you know of other sites on same subject? This one is the most organized I've seen, and very clear to navigate around, thanks Julie! Take care Rhonda
: If you get responses let me know--I also have 5 kids from 5-13 and feel the exact same way!!!!!
: : We have a very large house, 5 children, work alot but am usually home when the children are, ages 8-17. We seem to be losing control. The house is always messy with a once a week occasional clean look! I do think we have a clutter problem, and just plain dirt problem. I insist they take their shoes off but it still looks dirty all the time to me. Where do I start?
: : It seems everyone's lives became extremely busy and the house just got forgotten. I really miss the coming home to a clean home to relax. Now we tend to eat out alot, because the kitchen is dirty, no one is home or whatever. How do I get through these next 5-10 busy years? I hate to give up and just hire a housekeeper, I think the kids need to help more, but I'm so tired of fighting it too. HHHHEEEEEELLLLLPPPP!!!! :)
