Is it just here or is anyone else's house um, trashed?
Yep, there have been three children and a husband home for the last week or so and I don't think any of them have done any cleaning, picking up or tidying.
There is Christmas clutter on top of normal clutter on top of uh, more stuff.
It's a mess here.
I don't want to clean up. I don't want to argue with my family about tidying up.
But really? This has gotten out of hand. Our house is a mess. We NEED to start cleaning up and putting stuff away.
Let the nagging begin.
Sigh.
I'm Leanne and I'm a tired mama. I work, I parent, I juggle and I don't seem to get enough sleep. Welcome to the place where I rant about all these things...
I told my kids Santa doesn't come to dirty houses. Well that and I YELLED at them to get it cleaned up. Now I am using the "You can't go to your cousins New Years Eve party if you room looks like Santa threw up in there" line. It seems to be working so far!!!!

Our house is a complete disaster and I just don't have the energy to deal with it yet. Ugh.

I've given up. If the rest of them want to live in what looks like a Toys R Us dumpster, whatever. I guess.

I went nuts cleaning Christmas morning and have since given up. Tis the season to be slovenly.
