But ...This cycle of homemaking is so very familiar! But we all have those times of discouragement. Have you ever read the article on "Family Work?" It changed forever the way our family cares for our home. You can find it here: <br /><br />http://magazine.byu.edu/?act=view&a=151<br /><br />I also find it helps to do a house clutter purge every six months-- at least! Getting rid of excess stuff can do a lot to relieve the family of caring for this that don't matter.<br /><br />We're in the middle of crazy time right now in our family while we're in the last few weeks of rehearsal for a play. And our home is a MESS. But we all know that "this, too, shall pass"-- even my husband! Right now we are just trying to survive. There will soon be time for deep cleaning and decluttering. Let me tell you, I am looking forward to it!<br /><br />Hang in there, mama. You are not alone, and things will improve. Working WITH your kiddos will help all of you, I think. <br /><br />And I need to remember that, too, when it's time for our house recovery! :-p<br /><br />Hugs,<br />RachelRachel Keppnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193834789450018423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342984866691130103.post-27359569660755603832012-03-30T20:20:05.801-06:002012-03-30T20:20:05.801-06:00You've just described my whole life!You've just described my whole life!Nananoreply@blogger.com
