Seriously, just ...Oh Jennnifer, I LOVE your posts. Seriously, just when I think this mom or that mom has it all together and has all the answers, I'm humbled by the honesty of Moms just like me (you)! I too have been struggling lately with parenting/being a work at home mom (who really only has time to work). My daughter is mostly parented by the tv, but our circumstances make this our only option right nowValeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639109398843427989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8651740630653159482.post-57058203887925389792010-06-25T11:03:08.603-07:002010-06-25T11:03:08.603-07:00I forgot to tell you one very important detail.......I forgot to tell you one very important detail.....I have a housekeeper that comes either once a month or every two weeks.

Not many people are willing to admit when they are struggling and feeling down, depressed, antsy or whatever else. I'm with all these other smart friends of yours; clutter zaps the life out of us and you know that, too. But how to find the motivation to de-clutter and to begin simplifying, that's the hard part.

Recycle doesn't sit on the counter, it goes in the bin in the garage. Mail goes in the awesome files that Shannon set up for you. Good luck!<br />2.

I think you're on to something when you consider that the "clutter" - physical, emotional and spiritual - could be a sign of something deeper going on. Press in for the good stuff.
