I went to an organization class last night. I felt good as I listened to the teachers and to other peoples comments - knowing that there are many things I am good at and that I handle better, or different than some people. I came home with some good ideas of where to start on the things that bug me and I was feeling excited - until I walked in and saw the house! I just wanted to turn around and leave! Now, in reality it was not that bad, but it was cluttered and just didn't feel great!
So last night I dreamed that we had to store all of our bedding on the sofa. So, when ever we would have company we would have to find a place to move our large piles of unfolded blankets, many pillows and sheets, to. I felt so embarrassed. Obviously this is a big deal to me - and no we don't really keep our bedding on the sofa.
I know that I should be striving for progress not perfection, and that things will change as my kids change and get older. I guess what I want the most is to have a place for everything, good habits for taking care of our home (habits for each of us), and to teach my children well, how to care for things, accept responsibility, and to be clean.
I guess I will start where I thought of last night - and that is - to think of one thing I can improve and start working on it. I can handle one thing at a time and not neglect the children and not get overwhelmed.
