I always feel more at peace with my home when everything is in its place and I can see my floors.  And when my children have clean clothes neatly put away in their drawers.  And when my kitchen table and floors are clean.  And when I have a shiny sink, emptied of dirty dishes.  And when the mirrors and windows are smudge-free. But I just don't have the time to do it all.  I cannot have a perfect house.  I don't have perfect children.  My kids are not rocket scientists.  I can't even get all the dishes clean.  And don't even ask about dusting. But I'm trying!!! And, believe it or not, I don't feel like a failure. Do you recall Dory from Finding Nemo singing, "Just keep swim-ming, just keep swim-ming, swim-ming, swim-ming?"  This is one of my mottos.     Attitude makes a big difference in one's perspective on life, and work, and everything else. We can be lost in work, buried in housework, or up to our eyeball...
