I haven't read this whole thread, but my house is most of the time a mess. Dh and I are both messies. I work FT and Dh is a SAHD with health problems so it makes our struggles worse. My mom came over yesterday and helped me. It showed me a few simple things I can do to help keep it looking nicer, like sweeping the floor. She doesn't usually come help, but we are in the process of moving (well we still don't have a house), so she is helping.

She even asked me, "What can we do so your next house doesn't get this way?"

I have plans in my head, that I have never been able to implement, but since we are moving and setting up new routines in a new house I figure this is the time to start.

I need to start slow, I know. We have so much clutter we are going to end up moving because I am sorted out. I can't do it anymore!!! I am thinking about just putting everything in the garage then making sure it has a home before it is brought in the house, of course that will only work until it gets cold. UGG!!!
