I am 19 and living with my fiancee and my little lovely daughter. Im a mess. I rarely clean and i get very fustrted when I see the mess. I might be depressed but I dont know for sure. I have all the symtoms and this might also be the case of my slobby behavior. But Im determined to be a different person not for myself but for my Daughter, and My Fiancee. Sure he is very messy himself but he works. And he works real hard to provide for us. I want to provide for us too but there are no jobs in this little city we live in. We plan to move back to LA where I can get my old job back or a new one for sure but untill them I want to change for the better. Get out of this hole i almost climbed into. I want to be able to enjoy my baby and my boyfriend and be happy more often. I need to cahnge my attitude and I want to start by not being a SLOB nomore. But I need motivation Ideas on How to Start. Does anyone have a way that could help me that worked for you.

I’ve been unorganized for all of my life that I can remember. I don’t pick up after myself and have my stuff covering virtually every horizontal, flat surface in my apartment. No, i’m not married. This also makes it hard to dust so being lazy and depressed does not get the dusting done. (this could easilly get into a large posting about housekeeping in general)I have been buying plastic bins of different sizes to store all of my stuff and intend to begin sorting out and storing things sometime, perhaps. I am a procrastinator (no shit hey?) Anyway it’s a start. A little at a time.
I’ve got a system… cleaning one room of the house every night, regardless of whether it needs it or not. Once everything is cleaned up pretty well, it won’t be hard to keep it up that way. Giving myself a couple nights off, and the ability to switch off nights if plans come up.
So far, its working well.
Right now my kitchen floor has hot water and bleach soaking on it, and I have a scrub brush ready to go… hands and knees, baby!
The place is still not nearly where I need it to be, and cleaning is hard without the organization, but I’m working on that too.
Unforgently now my room is even more of a mess. Just seem to be moving this stuff around.
I plan on going to Home Depot and Target with hopes of finding something to help organize at least 50% of all my stuff ^^.
I cooked spaghetti and before i cooked i put all the dishes away in the dish washer. WOOT!
So the room is still a mess, but I went on a huge shopping trip today and picked up lots of cheap and trendy stuff. Well, Victoria’s Secret wasn’t cheap but I really don’t want to wear cheap bras anymore. And it’s about time I venture into buttfloss land. I don’t have to wear them every day if I don’t want. And the associates there are SUPER nice, which is surprising. You really expect them to be all snooty, but they’re really sweet.
Going to hope in a nice cool shower so I don’t reek tommorrow.
Alright: My room is a mess, I leave stuff all over the place, and I wear jeans, a t-shirt, a sweater, and flip-flops every single day. I haven’t gotten on the treadmill for a few weeks, and I haven’t cooked my own food for the same amount of time.
Now it is time to stop being such a slob! First step: investigate trends for Summer – no point in following the Spring trends. Actually read the trend part in my stupid teen magazines. Put more effort into my make-up and hair. Aiyah, onward!
Don’t tell anyone, but there are unwashed dishes in my sink and my house is a cluttered mess.
