Somebody help me PLEASE!!!

Yes, I need help! Well, not really, I just need to vent a little...

The following are pics of our home. WARNING: not for the faint-hearted. Be brave, be VERY brave...

Dining room














Family room














Bedroom














Craft table












Living room














The problem, as I see it, is that I seem to be capable of only concentrating on one or two things at a time {besides making sure my children are dressed, diapered, fed, etc.}. Right now, I am trying to get a small business off the ground, and trying to regain my fitness since having Ben. I am having reasonable success with both endeavors, but EVERYTHING else has gone south. That and the once-a-month cooking I have recently undertaken, which, I have learned, leaves me so burnt out for a few days that cleaning is the LAST thing I want to do. Want more excuses? I've got more!

Now, in fairness, it is difficult to maintain any kind of tidyness with three rampant youngsters who think it's their lifetime career to make messes {the fourth is still easily containable}. They don't LIKE it tidy. I do, however. I can't think straight in a messy home. Therefore, at the moment, I am most certainly not thinking very straight at all.

Originally I took these photos so I could do side-by-side before and afters to cheer myself up on a day {like every day} when I have spent a couple hours cleaning up only to have children unclean everything in half that time. Only, I haven't gotten around to the afters yet. *SMACKING SELF IN FOREHEAD*
