I can always hear exclamations of, "I've been looking for this forever," and "oh, yeah, I forgot all about this." It's even better when we find a library book we thought we were going to have to pay for.

Other times I get so frustrated how messy my kids are that I want to just sit on the couch, eat ice cream, and read a good book instead of working. It gets frustrating to work so hard with them about their chores every single day. They really fight against it but I just have to be consistant and not let the get away with not doing them.Virginia Revoirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12426979985073932937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-59113035641448348642009-10-26T01:36:00.228-05:002009-10-26T01:36:00.228-05:00My goodness girl, you would faint if you saw my ki...My goodness girl, you would faint if you saw my kid's room right now! I was soooo upset with them today. I think my kids are THE laziest kids. Seriously. I have chores for them... but if I didn't, watch out. This place would be a pigsty.<br /><br />When people call me a supermom I always laugh and tell them, "I'm no supermom. I just try super hard!"Virginia Revoirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12426979985073932937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-74538274636288072122009-10-24T17:59:42.299-05:002009-10-24T17:59:42.299-05:00I tried posting a pic of Brown Bear's room and...I tried posting a pic of Brown Bear's room and he had a fit when he saw how bad it was.

Bonnie, ...Allison, what did you name the dog? LOL<br /><br />Bonnie, I'm so done with perfect. I am aiming for a "clean enough that a casual visitor won't call the authorities" look.<br /><br />Ganeida, I posted a pic of Patrick and G's room once and they made me remove it. They were embarrassed about the dirty socks, dust monsters, pencil stubs and trash all over being posted... but not enough to actually clean said items off the floor...Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-91902150480513293682009-10-24T15:08:44.668-05:002009-10-24T15:08:44.668-05:00You will notice that I have never ever posted pict...You will notice that I have never ever posted pictures of a bedroom that still has a child living in it! ☺ There is a reason for that so feel LOTS better.Ganeidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-72557749562752843312009-10-24T14:50:02.377-05:002009-10-24T14:50:02.377-05:00Oh I love a good cleaning, but sometimes I get so ...Oh I love a good cleaning, but sometimes I get so overwhelmed with my quest for perfection that I just don't do it. Like if it can't be all cleaned and all organized on that day--why bother? But I do. And eventually it gets done.

More of a "give a mouse a cookie" situation. Once I move a dresser, I have to clean under it. Cleaning under the dresser makes me realize that there are toys beneath that are disorganized. Then I need to organize the toys...<br /><br />You could go on all day like that. :]Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-44710095261834733522009-10-24T12:56:55.460-05:002009-10-24T12:56:55.460-05:00substitute the drawings for magazines and the game...substitute the drawings for magazines and the games for cat toys and you've got my house!!<br /><br />oh, and add cat hair to the dust monsters<br /><br />I like a clean house and obviously dust can affect the air BUT moving all that stuff around is just too much<br /><br />as Nana used to say - "there is dirty dirt and there is clean dirt"Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946500110072411468noreply@blogger.com
