my gross house

[caramerced]

i am so disgusted with my house. i clean it all the time and literally an hour later, it looks as if i have done nothing,, we also have all hardwood floors and those are a pain in the butt to keep clean....... i signed up for the flylady thing online and i tried following it, but i could not bear the thought of actually getting dressed in the morning when i am not going anywhere! anyone have any advice!??

then your trying to change to many things in your life. just one improvement, the getting dressed and only that is a good place to start just commit to dressing every day, for a couple of weeks before you commit to any thing else you need to start being loving to yourself first and formost

I agree!!  You need to commit to one thing and if that thing is getting dressed everyday at first...do it.  Once you have mastered that....make a list of certain things you would like to do on each day and do only those things...besides of course what you have to do with the kids.  For example...Monday you wash 2 loads of clothes and vacum.  Tuesday you clean the bathrooms and dust.  And if you can't get to everything on day because something else important needed to be taken care of, don't beat yourself up!!  Just say it's okay I will get to it.  This way you can sorta stay on top of things without killing yourself.  Believe me I understand your pain.  I have 4 kids and I like to keep a very neat house.  But, I do what I can when I can and that has to be good enough!!  Good luck!!
