Hi: I am a single parent to 3 kids and 3 fur babbies. I work 2 jobs and never thought of my self as a horder. We have had some really good times and like anyother family have taken our share of hardnocks.
My goal is to get my place cleanned up and keep it that way! I worry that my children think this is the normal way to live. I am sick of the mess. Mount laundry is my constant foe!
I love the new site and found the old one to be most helpfull.

Hello and welcome Hollymaid Dear Hollymaid--Your worry about your kids is one I shared. I had a period of a few years when I let the house get embarrassing. I still cooked and laundered and did dishes, but I just stopped sweeping, dusting, cleaning bathrooms, let stuff pile up, etc. Just a few weeks ago my daughter and I were talking and I apologized to her for the 'messy years' and guess what? She was surprised that I thought the house was so embarrassing and did not remember it as being that bad. (What she did remember was my anxiety when we had houseguests coming  ) Hugs to you and your babies and furbabies Charis |

Bless your heart hollymaid! You've got a lot on your plate. Best of luck on your journey to "step out of your squalor."( I'd like to step out of mine and never step back in) and with mount laundry. We move mountains in here. Get ready.
