It will never be perfect (2 boys, 3 dogs, and a 47yo kid), but trying by doing small things, really, REALLY makes you feel better. It may be hard at first, but make yourself do it. Use your kids as your motivation. It gets easier, because you will see if makes you feel better
Thanks, but I don't have kids. Unless you count my boyfriend and cat, of course. :P
