From the Trenches SUCCESSFUL COPING I am a messy at heart. I have finished the decluttering of my home and I can now get my house in order in two hours with children under foot. I have developed coping techniques for day to day struggles. I have learned that my house does not have to be perfect in order for it to be presentable. I have four young children...perfection is out of the question. I have my flipper set up in such a way that cleaning is easy now. So, in answer to Dyana's question to me...yes. I am a messy. But, now the hard stuff is done. I can do sewing and crafts without feeling like I am committing a crime against my family. I can go to yard sales and enjoy them. I can sit down and spend time doing fun things with my children. I have reached my goals. (Thanks to Jennifer) Do you have a Flipper? Go to the link below to order you NEW K.I.S.S.
