Shouldn't we have a clean house?



It’s a question I’ve asked myself countless times over the years. Part of the answer to this mystery lies in one of life’s little inconsistencies (kind of like a toddler crying because they have to go to bed while a parent would pay a small fortune to have someone carry them to bed, tuck them in with a book and a kiss, then dim the lights as they are quietly left to dream of train rides and pretty ponies)…But I digress.
The answer:

When they’re able, they’re unwilling, and when they’re willing they’re unable.
Case in point…

Laundry:





The kitchen:





Thank you Eli for always being willing. You are my biggest helper, and I’ll take the hourly wardrobe changes, random art projects and abandoned collections over a clean house any day.

The rest of the answer?  It lies somewhere in this unfortunate fact - Although I surly have some redeeming qualities, I'm just not that great at being a homemaker!
