I kill myself too, trying to clean it, but to no avail. As soon as The Husband and kids come home, it all goes to hell. Then they just don't seem to understand why I get so angry at them, ugh! <br /><br />My mom always tells me, it's not how clean or organized the house is that's important, it's how much quality time you spend with the girls that matters. Don't allow all the cleaning consume you; just focus on being the best mom you can. :)jaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10708353376256621965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-57690483964091738852013-06-17T19:24:11.913-07:002013-06-17T19:24:11.913-07:00Glad you're recovering from the BFTV!
