It's A Mess In Here!!

I'm leaving for my sister's this evening, and something tells me that it's not the best laid plan to leave a week's worth of mess behind me. My house doesn't generally look like this. I mean it gets it's share of messiness, but I'm seriously embarrassed by the number of days it's been since I've done the dishes. In my own defense, Levi and I have both been struggling with a never ending cold, but really, it's getting out of hand.
Oddly enough the photos make things appear cleaner than they are in reality. I'm starting to feel better about the mess already. ;)
Okay, so this next pic is of my studio/office/bedroom, and I will confess. It always looks this bad. The rest of my house generally stays under control, but this room just serves too many functions. It's on my to do list of giant jobs to tackle.
So, today will be spent cleaning. I'm trying to get happy about it. My general feeling is that if you must do something, you might as well do it joyfully. On occasion that's easier said than done.

I'm reminded of a song I sing to Levi: "Clean up, clean up, everybody, everywhere. Clean up, clean up, come on Levi do your share." He usually just wiggles his bum to the song while I do the clean up part. It makes me laugh which in turn makes cleaning more joyful.
