My next big challenge--learning to take care of my house

Have you ever seen the show Clean Sweep or Clean House? Well, today's post is my "before" video of my house. I am not a good housekeeper. At home, I focus on relationships and ignore our physical surroundings. I have decided that I want to do a better job of taking care of the house. It will help our family in so many ways. Some women have to nag their husbands to help around the house. That is not the case with us! Troy is much tidier than me, and the clutter causes him stress. So it's much more likely that he is the one to encourage us to do some cleaning. I appreciate that I don't have to nag, and I appreciate his willingness to work around the house. He never sits to watch a game unless he's folding laundry or multi-tasking in some way. But I also have a lot of guilt about my shortcomings as a homemaker. This process of becoming a better homemaker is as much a psychological issue for me as it is an issue of managing the stuff in our home. I felt a little bit like an exhibitionist making this video. Like maybe I shouldn't be bringing you into this part of my life. But I also know how much I have benefitted from sharing my physical challenges, and the support I have received. So I decided to go for it. Being open is a very important part of my transformation process. Thank you all for your support!
