Stephanie, between work and my 20 month old, I don’t have a lot of energy left for cleaning. It’s easier some days, as he’s learning to entertain himself. But he still likes a lot of my attention.

And I’m glad the FlyLady link helped. I keep saying I’m going to try it, but I haven’t been able to get past shining my sink every single day. Maybe one day soon.

You are a goddess! Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting the FlyLady link on your site. I have hope now, real hope. My home has been so awful and I have felt so overwhelmed. It hasn’t always been like this, but it has been this way for a while, sadly. However, no more recriminations. I’m going to do something about it. I’m going to start by shining my sink. Thank you. I am so intensely grateful, I have not words enough to express my gratitude to you. Bless you.

Hello ~

I feel your pain, truly. I struggle to overcome the clutter constantly, but it’s a losing battle and some days (okay, most days) I am just too demoralized by it to do more than twitch and think longingly of clean, open, clutter-free spaces. Too much to do, it seems. I’m always in awe of people with totally clean homes, no clutter anywhere, especially those with children/infants. I truly don’t know how to successfully accomplish it. My energy is all taken up with the baby. Perhaps this will get better as I go along. I don’t know. I remember, vaguely, when my daughter was small, (I have two: a 17-year old daughter and a six-month old son, my surprise)and I was a whole lot younger – I’m 41 now, having more energy. Ah well, just know this: you are not alone.
