I'm going to take pictures today and put them in my album. You guys will be the FIRST people other than my immediate family and my kid's friends who will have seen this pig sty that I live in.

It's so bad, I won't even let the kids take pictures when the cats are doing something cute, because I don't want the mess captured for everyone to see. I have almost NO pictures of my kids from the last three years because of it.

My first apartment was always kept pretty clean because I was working a 9-5 job. Now I'm a contractor,and the work day doesn't stop until I've hit 1500 lines of typing. Because I spend too much time doing things other than work during the day, I could be "working" from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. and ZERO cleaning gets done.

I know a lot of the problem is that there's so much to wade through now, I don't know where to start because I can work on it for hours and it looks like I haven't even made a dent in the mess. I end up feeling like "why did I even bother? It still looks the same."
