Jane, over at What About Mom, made my day today with this blog post. It's so nice to know I'm not the only whose house can get into this condition...
OK, I'm off to clean the living room :-)

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.” Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Oh. My. Goodness. Just looking at that mess makes me want to pull out my gloves and go berserk on her kitchen. But what's mind boggling is that she slept in until 9:45am! I won't even go there.
Ah yes, Amber...that is why your house will never look like this! Some of us seem to have missed out on the gene that drives someone to clean up a mess just because it is there! Actually, if she hadn't circled and pointed out specific things I probably wouldn't even have noticed most of them (which of course if why my house can look that way--or worse--at times) :-/
Paula -- Just wanted to thank you for the link love. I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures.
And yes, I'm off to clean (again) too!
That was great. It's not very often that my house gets like that, but sometimes it does and IT'S AWFUL!!! Honestly, it astounds me how fast a perfectly clean house CAN get this bad. When we had church at 1:00, it wasn't uncommon for a perfectly clean house to get suddenly trashed in about 30 minutes while Jon and I were off getting ready and not closely supervising the horde. I mean, seriously! Don't kids feel a compulsion to clean up after themselves? Apparently not!
