      <title>Oh.. the joys of a clean home!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;My home is clean!  Clutter is at a minimal and what is left is in small piles to go through, bathrooms and kitchen are shining and the floors are freshly vacuumed.  I love having housekeepers come once a month, it&amp;#8217;s not enough to keep the house clean, but at least I have motivation, that things can get better when they look like this:&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;This before was taken a week ago, so it had improved some before this morning.  Oh goodness, that&amp;#8217;s embarrassing!  But it is now all done and I can type in peace while my girls are asleep.  Princess Olive fell asleep on the floor, poor girl1!  At least there&amp;#8217;s now floor for her to be able to do so. :)&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;So as you can see a major overhaul was desperately needed.  I&amp;#8217;d post an after, but I don&amp;#8217;t know how to upload pics to the computer yet, so that&amp;#8217;ll have to wait, but let me tell you it&amp;#8217;s sooo serene, it&amp;#8217;s wonderful.  My task for today is to tackle the laundry.  I have too many loads to count.  Maybe 12 or more.  But I am going to do it smart.  Not all of those clothes are going to stay in this house.  I found some basic guidelines for &lt;a href="http://www.livingonadime.com/articles/how-many-clothes.html"&gt;how many clothes one needs&lt;/a&gt;, and am planning on using that when I think my oldest needs 12 pairs of pants. :)&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;PS This was written last week, but I put it on hold to try to get more pictures in, I didn&amp;#8217;t, so here it is anyways.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
