In a perfect world, I would have every countertop clean and all floors swept daily, mopped at least twice a week.
My world: countertops are cluttered and have 3 or 4 mysterious sticky spots; floors are soiling my socks
In a perfect world, I would never have a dirty dish in my sink.
My world: Our cup cabinet is empty. Also, I have to scan every room before I do dishes because our cups apparently have feet and like to rest on the computer desk or Josh's bedside table. Oh, and where is the sink?
In a perfect world, I would have everything tidied up before I leave the house every day.
My world: That's comical.
In a perfect world, I would immediately hang and fold our laundry as soon as it came out of the dryer.
My world: I avoid wearing 75% of my clothes because they need ironing.
In a perfect world, our cars would be washed once a week inside and out.
My world: Have you ever ridden in our cars?
In a perfect world, my husband and sons would feel safe and secure knowing that they are loved dearly by their wife/mom.
My world: Yes, that's a constant on my to do list.

Fun post! :)
you nailed it. oh, and how about the sippy cups hiding under the beds...um, they are not even supposed to go upstairs, but the s.cups have the strongest legs and climb up the stairs and hide out from me.
but, at least you have your priorities straight:-)
Having lived with Josh, I feel your pain. He was hands down the dirtiest companion I ever had.
I like the quote on Jeni's blog because it goes hand in hand with what you're saying...
' "The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow, for children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow. So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep. I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep." '
We all feel that guilt to keep the house together and to always have tidy kitchens and clean folded laundry- but really, when our kids grow up it's not the laundry or the dishes that they'll remember. It's the memories and the places you went and spent as a family.
You're already doing the best job you'll ever have (and acing it I think)- and those boys will remember it and love you all the more for knowing when to let the dishes pile up to have a tickling war or to go to the park and play in the sunshine.
