I will gladly come and clean your house, and enjoy every second of it, but when it comes to my own you can forget it. For some reason when it comes to cleaning my house I get so overly frustrated, I end up stomping around about ready to pull my hair out!!!!! I love a clean house, but when it comes to the cleaning I turn my nose up at it. Now I am not afraid to get dirty, scrub the bathtub, or clean the fridge, I just get plain overwhelmed. When I start cleaning my house, I somehow convince myself that no matter how long or hard I clean it will always always be dirty and something else will always need cleaning. It really feels like a never ending story. Maybe it's due to the fact that every time you go outside here, you end up tracking in sand no matter how hard you try not to. Or maybe it's the climate, and for some reason I don't associate hot and humid with being clean. Or maybe I should just blame my mama and my grandma for having ridiculously clean houses, I mean impeccably clean houses, all the time. Of course when I think about it they are a little obsessive compulsive about their houses. I need a maid or a bull dozer. Maybe one day soon I will be able to find my cleaning zen and get this house in tip top shape.

Just wait until that "nesting instict" kicks in about your 8th month! :)
Oh, I hear ya. I love a sparkly house, but it never stays that way, so why bother?
I always say I like a comfortable house, not a sterile house like my mother used to keep! Besides, I am comfortable with a certain amount of my stuff/junk around me. ;)
I truly understand. I feel exactly the same way. Right now my house is at it's worst. Sort of early Ma and Pa Kettle (before your time...actually before my time, too). I'm expecting a goat or a chicken to walk in and I live in a city.
Amen Sister! How about you come clean my house, I come clean your house?
Ah, so true. It's really hard to see progress when you're cleaning your own house!

It's always easier to clean someone else's mess! I came home from helping my sister, and have turned my own house into a disaster area! Go figure!
