I know how it is!  The laundry is piling up to the ceiling.  The dishes are piling up in the sink.  The toys are scattered all over the floor.  The baby is crying.  The toddler is drawing on the walls.  The 4 year old is standing in a puddle of pee.  Everything feels like pure chaos.  And sometimes the chaos is unavoidable.  But sometimes we do this to ourselves.  We get so behind on things that we get overwhelmed and don't even know where to begin.  I don't know about you, but when my home is cluttered, everything feels more stressful.  If I can manage to keep everything somewhat picked up (I'm not talking about a Better Homes and Gardens here), the stress level immediately goes down and I'm able to better manage the crazy things that I can't always control.
