Cleaning Cure Failed

With a husband and kids who do not pick up after themselves, I feel like I spend half my life cleaning.  I figured that maybe I could make myself feel better about our disasterous house if I watched an episode of Hoarding: Buried Alive.  Nope.  Didn’t work.  In fact, it had the opposite of the desired effect.  I made it through a few minutes of the episode, before I started going through piles of Jude’s school work, deciding what I had to keep and what I could get rid of.  And, now I’ve been on a mission to find stuff to get rid.  We are seriously outgrowing our house and I think that throwing/donating half our stuff would really help.
