Is it over yet?

Remember how I mentioned Ryan's 17-hour workday this past Sunday?  Let's make that 76.5 hours and counting.  Maybe he'll come home today!  Not holding my breath.

I need this semester to end right now, but somehow I have to survive and keep everyone thriving through Saturday.  I've learned that I cannot do it all well at the same time.  Let me show you what I mean.

When I do this really well:
 
The house looks like this:

 

I think every flat surface has piles of stuff that need to be sorted and put away.  It is driving me crazy.  You know what else is driving me crazy?  That stupid picture on its side -- not enough to do anything about it though.

Let's all cross our fingers that I manage to put together a relatively healthy dinner for the boys tonight.  I plan on having red wine for dinner.

That's how my house looks and I don't have 100% test scores to support it :) Best of luck getting through your finals and I hope Ryan turns up soon!

Oh, the clutter. I TOTALLY feel your pain. When the upstairs is clean, the living area is a disaster. When the kitchen is spotless then the basement is a war zone. Yeah, it can't all be perfect all the time... but, those test scores? You are a ROCKSTAR!!!

I agree with Dalene, and must also say that if your kitchen looks that clean when you are a "single" mom and a school girl who gets 100%(s) then you deserve s night off with some red wine. My house looks worse than that right now for no good reason (other than the fact that I have 4 kids, but that's my every day reality!).

You Kick BUTT! Here's to having your hubby back soon!!!
