Before I had kids, I had an immaculate house and dogs who lived outside. After I had kids I realized that as long as the house was reasonably clean and not a health hazard, they were happy, and that they needed me to parent, not just to clean. I became content to obsess only about my filing system and address book, and not about my house. I still try to keep the closets highly organized, but that too is slipping away.
Well, I think right now at this time of my life, I need sanity and a clean house. Unfortunately, I have neither.
