I cannot believe I'm saying this, but I am grateful for messy houses.
If I never had one, I would never appreciate when it is clean.
Guess which state mine is in now?
Not the latter...
I am working on it.
This weekend, I intend to spend a good two or three hours folding clothes,
washing dishes,
wiping down surfaces,
and picking up socks and shoes that always manage to get strewn across our living room.
A clean house gives me peace of mind.
So in reality, I guess I am thankful for the perspective that a messy house gives me.
Wish me luck this weekend! ;)
