Housework!

I don't even want to think about tackling this! I have been trying to be really good about keeping the house clean. I am not a neat freak. I am a germaphobe, but not a neat freak-not really sure how that works out, but that's how I work. 

Anyways, in an effort to keep the house clean, I decided that when a load of clean laundry is done, that I would put it on the guest bed in the guest bedroom, and fold in there. There's even a TV in there, so I worked this out pretty nicely for myself. The best part is if I can't get to folding the load right then and there, I can just leave it and close the door. Well, obviously  the door has been closed for a while! The encouraging part is that it's all clean laundry. The sad part is, I would be perfectly fine with it laying there and coming in a getting what I needed! I know this is a yikes moment for the neat freaks out there, but it's okay with me. There is a point where it does get overwhelming, and I do a big sweep and fold it all. 

I remember growing up, sleeping on the not-comfortable living room sofa, because my room got overwhlemed with laundry. It bothered me to sleep in it, but I guess not enough to do anything about it. My Dad would say he needed a hard hat if he went in there! At one point he was so mad he said he was going to put that construction tape across the door, lable it condemned, and have a bulldozer tear down that part of the house! 

I have gotten a lot better, and no, the whole house does not look like this, but I am still a work in process when it comes to housework. Ben has been pretty patient...... for the most part! :)
