With four kids (including two teenagers) the house is very "lived in." However I was just thinking the other day how much better it is now than it used to be. I used to spend hours getting ready when someone was coming over. Maybe it is because the kids are older and help out more, maybe I'm more organized and it is cleaner, maybe I just don't care as much as I used to!

Just this morning, I had to swipe the toilet and last night I swept the kitchen. Of course, my junk pile has overtaken my stove--but it's hidden. I don't mind hidden junk. Lol. That was fun!

I love living in my apartment. The downside is since it's small, a little mess can be really noticeable. There's not much place for it to hide. Holly, that is exactly my answer too!

Nice reason, LS. I'm pretty happy if all the kid stuff is picked up. Casey, you must make people feel pretty comfortable since they want to keep coming over. Dana, I love when my friends let me come over even if they haven't picked everything up. I think it shows real friendship. Kelli, that would be a good option!
