...A Clean House

Day 60
Wow. My house is a mess. I mean a total mess. My husband has done a good job at trying to keep everything afloat but several things aren't being done exactly how I would hope they would.

Laundry - I use an All pod and then some of those Downy Beads in the washing machine. The clothes smell great and I feel like they are clean. After that, I throw them in the dryer with a NEW dryer sheet and then my clothes come out fresh, clean and smelling like a rose. My husband uses the pod. That's it. Just the pod. IF he uses a dryer sheet, he uses the same one over and over. FRUSTRATING!

Flat surfaces around the house - I thought I was bad about this but wow! Every flat surface in this house is covered in stuff. He is just like the kids and he doesn't clean things up, he just moves them around. When he does decided to clean off all of the flat surfaces, he moves everything to the kitchen table. That's where it stays.

These are just two of the things that have been bugging the mess out of me. With all of the Christmas chaos we have had the house was double messy today. I rallied the kids and we cleaned both of their rooms and got most of their Christmas stuff put away. I even tried to do a couple of loads of laundry but then my husband took over and started doing it his way again. So tomorrow, I will probably have to re-wash some things :-)

I hope and pray that this knee surgery and recovery is worth it. It has really destroyed my house and I know I am getting on all three of their nerves because I am always asking for something or asking them to do something. But trust me, if I could do it myself, I would.

Today, I am thankful for the times when I can make my messy house a clean house since I obviously can't do it now.
