Keeping it Real

This is my attempt at "keeping it real" like some of you other blogger friends out there.

Yes, I tend to be hyper-organized, but it is an impossibility to have a perfectly clean household when I am at home ALL DAY with my 6 little homeschoolers EVERY DAY.

Sometimes life gets in the way of chores.

This is my laundry room this morning.

Today is Wednesday and I have not done any laundry since Saturday.

That is only THREE full days of not doing any laundry. Wait! I did do a load of towels and a load of fancy dresses in between! *sigh*

I guess it is a good thing that I kinda like doing laundry!
