Okay, so. Our washing machine broke.

I got moving on cleaning again yesterday for the first time in I don't even know how long and AAAAUUUUGH

I filled up half a trash bag with dirt and pet hair

and the dishes ... the sink hasn't been empty since Thanksgiving.

And EVERY.SINGLE. PIECE of fabric in our house (clothes, towels, bedding, fabric that I craft with...) needed to be washed.

6 industrial washing machines at the laundromat.

And WHAT IS IT about piles of laundry on the floor that makes a cat want to PEE ON IT

Honestly? I have tried cleaning schedules and flylady and disciplining myself to just do it every day (which ends the second there is a major holiday or the washing machine breaks) ... fail fail fail.

I think I shall never have a presentable house. Or even a ... sort of cleanish house that doesn't make people allergic to animals feel like they're dying.
