I, Sharla, solemnly swear.....

that I will NEVER let my house get this messy again.

I will NEVER let my laundry build up like this again.

I did wake up late, at 9, but I have been working all day with a quick break to the store and I have only gotten the 3 bedrooms upstairs done and some laundry. Of course, they were pretty (disgustingly) bad, but you know.

Gone are the days when I could clean the entire house (or apartment) in one day. At least not with it this dirty.

My back is killing me. I am disgusting and sweaty. I am exhausted and was hoping by now I could hang out on the computer for the rest of the night, take a bath, give myself a pedicure and watch a chick flick....something.

Nope. No can do. But I just wanted to say hi, and sit down if even for only 5 minutes.

I was going to take before and after pictures but the camera is in the diaper bag with hubby and the kids. Sorry. I hope you are all having a fantastic weekend. Off I go back to the kitchen.....ugh.

By the way, you have three hours to enter my Which Watch giveaway......enter while you can. Wish I could win this one myself.

  1. As I read the first couple "... I WILL NEVER..." 's, I had to giggle. I have said this so many times. And yet, there are piles and piles :) hehe. I wish you luck and if you figure out how to keep the "never", let me know! I would love to make it happen at my house!

  2. You know what I find is the most difficult to clean are the kids art area, where the papers never cease to pile up and my own office area where, again, the papers never cease to pile up. How does one cure onself of being a pack rat?

  4. I have to say I LOVE knowing I'm not the only one who ends up not getting that shower. *sigh* Not that I'm glad you're swamped....just that sometimes I feel like I am overwhelmed and it's always nice to know you're not alone. Don't ya LOVE that secret knowledge? ;-)

  5. PS if it is any consolation, think how good it'll feel when you're done with the chores and DO finally get that shower. :-)

  6. I know you were working hard and all - but an entire Saturday to clean all alone? Sounds pretty fab to me. I'd download a new album, blare it through the TV's speakers and clean, clean, clean... for at least 5 minutes before I sat down and watched an episode of Gilmore Girls.

  8. I've been cleaning all morning too. And I'm not loving the back pain!! Right after I finished scrubbing the second bathroom, my husband looked at me and said "Someday, you'll go to the ball."...While I'd love to be Cinderella, I don't want to be her before she met the prince!
