My son...Hi, Lynda.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your encouragement. My son I am training. My dh is a lot harder. Because we are polar opposites, he struggles to keep up with the "precision" my personality requires.<BR/><BR/>I have tried to insist on his help, but he refuses (I don't really like this word, but it's the only one that fits) to "engage" in what I'm trying to do. <BR/><BR/>Obviously, it really only works if everyone works at it. But, it has become very obvious that I'm the only one...which is why I gave it up in the first place. I found it impossible to keep up.<BR/><BR/>I have renewed my goals, though, and have assigned myself new small jobs to do everyday to take care of the dust bunnies and such. I have come to discover that I can only count on myself. If I leave it to someone else it never gets done. Everyone is quick to say the dog needs a bath, but no one ever does anything about it.<BR/><BR/>*shake head*<BR/><BR/>As for relaxing...that's really my office, believe it or not. This is my space. It is cluttered, but it's an organized clutter. But, it is my space.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Lynda. It's nice to know I'm not the only one.DOakleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06184281944220861575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-737576819415574870.post-84744770677313177492009-03-17T00:15:00.000-04:002009-03-17T00:15:00.000-04:00you didn't visit a homeschool mom's home - we had ...you didn't visit a homeschool mom's home - we had clutter. I still do and they all have been gone a yr. I'd say insist on everyone's help. Train your child. If your dh wants some stuff and it drives you crazy find some out of the way place for it- his garage? Make an area for you to relax in. We can over do.The Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548666978419775758noreply@blogger.com
