Clean House, Clear Mind

All this week I have been busy doing a million things. This blog and getting it set up and running, a website, school, etc. Needless to say, I’ve had a really full plate. In all if the fuver of getting these various projects done, my house has been horribly neglected. My kids have had more or less full reign over my house for the past week. I have been in a stump on getting all of these projects done to my satisfaction all the while, my space is destroyed. I have toiled with photobucket, played around with various things on the website and even tried to get my homework done for school. I have met resistance with accomplishing anything. My mind has been racing with no real organization of my thoughts other than I have some.Today I had enough! I couldn’t freaking take it anymore. I decided to work on the one project I knew I could carry through to the end, cleaning my house.
So, I start this daunting task. This is, by the way, is my least favorite thing to do. I absolutely detest cleaning. However, I know I can’t REALLY live in a stye….so off I go. I’m not one of those people who can just do the basics either. I must give it the full treatment. The first thing I decide to do is to look under the loveseat. OMFG!!! There was a pile stuff under there that one would not believe! My daughter’s dog, Pablo, likes to take toys, papers, clothes and anything else he can get his teeth on, under the couches to chew them up. Not exactly my favorite quality about this dog, but he’s cute. As I’m staring at a mess that can only be described as infuriating, I realize that this mess in my house is the reason I have not been able to concentrate. Furthermore, I have been having a hard time even concentrating on giving a good reading lately. Clutter in the home means clutter in the mind!
Our homes are our centers of our selves. If our center is a mess then it makes sense that it other areas of our lives and selves would be a mess as well. Some people litterally cannot function if they’re personal realm is a mortal disaster. I’m not normally one of these people but, I got a lesson this week in why it’s important to keep my home clean…..clean enough that I can see the floor anyways.
I finished the horrible job of cleaning the house. I felt much better and my thoughts seem to calm after I got the chaos organized. I feel a real sense of peace in my house now. Maybe now I can finish my homework!
