I can tell Spring Break is nearing an end because my girls are fighting like cats and dogs and my last nerve is about to snap! I love my girls. Really. I do. I love having them home. Really. But this picking, and fighting just drives me nuts!

We have gone to the Y three mornings this week, to the indoor water park one day, to a movie one day, to McDonald's a couple of times. I was going to teach Katie to sew this week, but once again have let that slide. I am hoping I get around to teaching her before she is in college.

It would help if I could actually get to my sewing machine without having to step over tons of junk. We have been moving rooms around for about a year now. The girls can't decide which rooms they want. They can't decide if they want their own rooms or to sleep in the same room.

 The guest room (aka Grandma's room) is filled with stuff that is awaiting the decision before being placed. Just thinking about all the stuff that need to be moved makes me tired enough for a nap.

Will I ever get my house back? I keep thinking that maybe, next year when both of them are in "big" school and gone most of the day. But, I fear this is just wishful thinking on my part.

How do people keep their houses tidy? Honestly, I purge junk all the time, and it is still a mess! We go WAY beyond the lived in look here. Of course, we do have places to sit, and can generally walk without having to follow a set path between piles of junk.

But, a little order would be nice. I keep trying to get DH to take the girls and go visit his Mom in NJ and give me a week alone to tackle the mess. I could work at my own pace, get rid of toys without some deeming that one their "favorite". I could actually clean the carpets. Once I can finally see them that is.

I sincerely hope I am not the only one out there who needs intervention....
