MUST.OVERHAUL.QUICKLY. **EDITTED version!! **

I'm feeling frantic this morning. of course it's due to procrastination. always.

somehow deadlines sneak up on me.

instead of cleaning, i baked and made jam.

yesterday i ran errands. and went to lunch with my hubby and fave brother

and today my house is still weekend dirty.

and i have a home visit for Pierce here.

at my home. UGH!

intake interview.

so the front room needs to be neat and tidy. and mopped. and maybe i should remove that nail polish off the front room tile. i was holding out for new tile HA! like that is gonna happen

no my front room IS never clean.

it takes effort.

we don't have a garage entrance, OR a mud room.

so people come in and drop their stuff. remove shoes. ditch toys.

it's also in between floors (tri level) so stuff just magically collects right there. in the front room between the basement and the kitchen , and the upstairs .

it's the entrance and exit.

and of course it's made worse by speedy entering and exiting.

ditch and run tactics make it worse than usual.

and the weekends? kill it. it's the couch where people sit and read. i do it. Lance does it. it's a problem .

we don't go down to the vortex (basement/kids domain) to read since we usually want to sit quietly semi alone. you just don't get that in the vortex. EVER. it's messy, the TV is always on,and as soon as you sit down on the couch down there, it's an invitation to have 4-6 kids sitting on your lap,next to you and climbing all over you. it's not ideal for reading quietly alone.

which of course explains the mess in the front room

and my FrAnTiC but OH SO NECESSARY stash and dash cleaning methods.

that are called for today.

IF i would have done it Monday it would have been undone twice over.

if i would have done it Tuesday, i would have had to re mop because spills always happen when I've freshly mopped.that and usually Pierce hoses into the front room these days if the door is open when he's outside hosing.

So today is the day.

i better QUIT STALLING and get going, and get it done. so i can stop feeling frantic.

maybe I'll have a minute to decorate for Halloween.

OR read my book on the couch in the front room! OHHH now there is a thought.

hope your day is FABULOUS ! and not frantic.

**EDIT! **it's over! the interview lasted all of 15 minutes. no the floor didn't get mopped(she was 15 minutes early!) BUT everything was out of the room. cleared out the upstairs hallway that you see from the couch.

i swept and cleared out the toys, shoes, floaties, library book bag, purse,trash, random papers, extra old magazines. etc. TA DAAAAAAAAAA!

now that's over I'm heading out to BFE to pick up my enrichment stuff, the vinyl and boards YAY! so then i can come home and clean some more for tomorrows Enrichment mini craft group.

so don't let me comment today. if you see a comment from me, tell me to go clean something. if you see me online remind me i need to get back to it.

thanks for the support gals! you are awesome.

i just need to stay off the computer and on task. no relaxing today.

and while you are reminding me not to do stuff. Remind me never to buy cheap soda again. 5whole 12 packs of sugary colored soda, gone in 3 days . WASTED by kids. and spilled , dribbled, and ditched half full all over the house. NEVER AGAIN! stupid,StUpId ,STUPID!
