My house looks like a bomb went off....sigh
I don't know where to start. The livingroom and kitchen are complete disasters. x(

On top of that I'm all stressed and panicky today and have no desire to deal with it. :(

Help! :o

1. What happens if you put it off til tomorrow?
There's always time to do housework. Why make yourself crazy?

Or, if you must get something done, try to shove the mess into one area! :)

2. Well, I don't want to make Sniffa come home to this disaster
He's out working in the cold, and basically the kitchen is un-useable (the pileup of 3 days of eating and drinking, while being away for a lot of it) and the livingroom is a minefield of papers, gifts, empty boxes, etc.

I'll figure something out, even though I'd rather just crawl into bed. Boo.

3.  Perhaps you should distract him from those two rooms when he comes home.
Dinner in bed? :)

5. Start with the kitchen.
Me thinks your mood will improve when it looks ready to be sullied with the detritus of new cooking efforts.;-)

Maybe that just works for me. A dirty kitchen depresses me. The dust kittens can own the rest of the place and I wouldn't care.

7. I usually do it the other way around, but...
maybe you're correct. I keep shielding my eyes as I go to the coffeemaker. :P

10. If you have empty crates and sturdy trash bags
Edited on Wed Dec-26-07 11:53 AM by Saint Etienne17
Then just stuff all the crap into the crates and bags and put those in some closet or garage, sponge the tables and counters then crawl back into bed.

and deal with all the crap another day



or get drunk then clean

14. Me too.
It looks like Santa's Workshop exploded. There's toys and elf guts and wrapping paper all over the place.

17. Update: It is done...
I did the kitchen, then the livingroom, despite my hypochondriac panic. Tomorrow, either the kitchen cabinets or the bookcases. :D

:woohoo:

19. Good for you!
I had the same problem, with friends coming in tonight. I just didn't have the energy. Now, it's done, and they're almost here. Happy New Year!:thumbsup:
