After much thought and hair pulling I have come to the logical conclusion that my house is in desperate need of order.
So.... I've been pulling out all the heavies: Sandra Felton, Flylady and Emilie Barnes. I've started a notebook of what needs to be done and am trying very hard not to be completely overwhelmed!
Here is a good quote for that: "Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs." Henry Ford
Another quote I wrote down in my notebook today:
"He that riseth late must trot all day." Ben Franklin
And with that little bit of inspiration I shall trot out the door and clean my porch!

Loved your "clean house." Something I read in a Tarzan book one time (excellent literature, by the way; increased my vocabulary vastly!!) goes similar to this: "You can only eat an elephant one way: one bite at a time." That's how the housecleaning goes, one 5'x5' square area at the time.
Good Luck!!!
