Hello, my name is Leona...and I'm a mess-a-holic. :(
There is something I have been realizing more and more these past couple of weeks...I tend to make a big mess in my house. Having 4 kids, I am constantly being pulled in every direction imaginable! After I finished a task, for example, changing Gentry's clothes, I would stand up, pick Gentry up, then sit on the chair to feed her...leaving the pajamas on the floor to be picked up by someone else (or myself...but later on in the day). In so doing this...I have trained myself to clutter the house up quite fast (and it does happen fast in our little home). I also HATE doing the dishes and tend to leave it alone until either the pile is too big to fit on the counter...we've ran out of dishes...or something starts to stink. My goal to change my horrible habits is to ALWAYS put what I have in my hands away where it belongs (not just set it down somewhere else) and to ALWAYS do a load of dishes every day (I'm still working on cleaning up after we have finished eating, I know it would make my next day a lot easier...but I am just too tired at the end of the day).
These bad habits...I blame on the kids and my husband ;) However, it is I who needs to change and change I will!
Starting up Again!

You are not alone my dear! Not alone at all...you just described me and my family! We hope to teach our children to clean and make our home a nice, inviting place. However, we should really be teaching them (by example too) to put things away as we're done with them. Good luck! I think I'll start working on that too!
