Name of my blog and the name of this post because it is true; I suck at keeping a clean house. I will be the first to tell you my goals for the cleanliness of my house is to keep CPS from taking my children, should anyone be such a punk ass bitch as to call them on me. I struggle. It took me years to regularly put together a shopping list. It has taken me 6 years, two children and 5 moves to be able to make a meal plan for one week. I’m still not great about laundry, mostly my own, and forget the kitchen, I just gave that up and asked my husband to man that because it just isn’t with in my ability to be consistent about that. He does, it is a great weight off my shoulders ,one of the many reasons why he is MAGICAL to me.

Today while supervising my children cleaning there playroom, I noticed my oldest child is so like me it’s scary. She also is not good at cleaning. She just kinda stared at the mess totally overwhelmed, something I do, until I made a suggestion about where she might want to start. Meanwhile, my youngest child had no problem jumping right in and cleaning up. My youngest also picked up their bedroom all by herself today with no issue. Something that amazes me about her father, he just can look at a mess and figure out the best way to tidy up. It’s funny how children are so like their parents even when they spend more time with one then the other.
