I totally have no motivation to clean my house whatsoever... especially now that my husband is gone (on his way to Afganistan)...
I mean, I justify it by saying, "I'm the only one here... so why does my house really have to be clean anyway???"

It doesn't help my self esteem at all that my mom is a clean/neat freak who cleans her house almost 24/7 to the point where when you walk in the door it is hard to tell if anyone lives there. She is constantly on my case saying that I need to clean my house. The rational side of me knows she is right, but part of me whats to yell at her, "who are you to tell me that I need to clean MY house? It's MY house! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!"
