Over the winter break, I got spoiled in having a clean house every day...due to my Cinderella mice (and the whip that I cracked). We had a deep cleaning fest almost every day of the break.
I'm sure my little cleaning slaves appreciated the fact that while their friends were out sledding, shopping, going to movies, and having waffles and ice cream for breakfast...that their mom was making job lists on the computer.
Aren't I such amean fun mom?
My only excuse for my obsessive compulsive (holiday) ways is that I don't have time to be obsessive compulsive during the school year. (I'm sure my kids are super-grateful for that fact.)
Unfortunately, with all busy-ness of life, our house seems to be in an eternal pit of chaos. Seriously, many times I will look around my house and think, "Did I sleep through a frat party last night?"
The funny thing about said frat party is it doesn't take usually take too long to clean it up. It's just that none of us little piggies take the time to do it...so the frat party doubles every day...until the campus threatens to close us down. (I.E. I freak out on Friday and make everyone help clean or we're all grounded.)
Naturally, I am making a goal to have a "house of order" as one of my resolutions for the year.
And how is that working out? You may wonder?
Ummmm...this morn I woke up to another silently held frat party! So rude!
BUT, the good news is...I have gotten into thisbad habit of not starting any of my New Year's Resolutions until after my birthday on the 10th.
Yes, it's totally related to that Lemon. Meringue. Pie. that I'm going to eat All. Day. Long. And it may be partially related to my expertise in procrastinating.

(As you can imagine, I am avoiding making a resolution about THAT problem for eternity).
