It seems to me that when I am finally getting to the point of no longer wanting to be at home for fear that the dish monster will eat me (For future reference, he is an evil smell producing creature that lives in sinks full of un-rinsed dishes) I finally have a break thru. I can clean today! Now I will have days when I think that my needed cleaning will happen and then nothing will. Today is different. I am going to clean, in fact I have already started. This is the first step, for some it is being able to say they have a problem. Let me tell you I can do that, been able to for years. "I AM NOT A CLEANER." Being able to say it doesn't help me keep the house up. Nor does saying, "I need to clean today!" The only way that I make a progress is getting up to do it. Sounds silly that I have to spell it out for myself, but I do. I am that kind of person. Almost have to hit me over the head with anything I need to know until I get it. It's a long process, seems to be much to timely.... must be why everyone has given up reasoning with me.
The point of all of this is to tell you that tonight I am going to bed with a clean kitchen and no laundry in my living room.... this is for the first time in three weeks. I will not have a clean bathroom or desk though, you can't win every battle.
