Back on the Cleaning Train

I went through a period of keeping my house amazingly clean. All the laundry was done, everything was put in it's place, and all the big jobs were done over and over before they ever looked like they needed it. Nathan came home every day in awe. Kissing me and telling me how proud he was. Not a day went buy when he would come home to this perfect house that he didn't praise it in some way. It felt really good! And it pushed me to keep doing it. But...then the holidays set in. We had stuff almost every day of the week and went on two trips. (Maybe it's just us, but when we go out of town, I swear we use three times as many clothes!) Since the new year I have been struggling to get motivated to get back on the super clean train. I feel the pressure of it needing to be clean on my shoulders but I can't bring myself to really get it done. I am one of those people that really enjoys having everything clean but I do not like doing it. One of my best times to clean is when I'm frustrated at Nathan or someone else. I feel the need to be constructive with my built up feelings and not just let them burst out of me. So I clean really fast. Nathan and I seemed to hit a relationship high on New Years Eve and we haven't come down, so I haven't had the frustration of him or anyone else to help me. haha Don't get me wrong, my house isn't a wreck...but it does need to be a lot cleaner. So...today I have decided to just do it! Actually, I'm going to spend the next couple of hours cleaning and I guarantee it will look better than it has in weeks.

Ok...no really...I'm getting started now. :)
