Patience and Neatness

Sigh!! That pretty much sums up my thoughts and feelings.
Lately I haven't the words to write about what's going on here.

I am trying to be positive, and patient. But honestly, I am neither. My fuse has become oh so woefully short, much to the detriment of my men. I am tired, and I just want to sleep. I want to move out of the house and live in the camper....... it's peaceful and Clean in there!!!!

There is now not one room in the house that hasn't been torn apart, in preparation for all the siding work for the outside.
The bed room that has been sheetrocked and mudded still isn't finished!!
In fact SRC has gone out tonight to Home Depot to get another pole sander. Seems the one we had is now MIA. ( be it Tyler or someone stole it) John will not be here this week, so I told Scott that I am going to leave a note in the store, not answer the phone. (return all messages later) and get that room done and ready for primer and paint!!

The biggest issue, that's bothering me is keeping the house clean!! It just can't be done with the work going on. I absolutely HATE feeling the grit under my bare or stocking feet!! and It's there five minutes after vacuuming!!!!
My house in Harwich I could get away with vacuuming once a week. Here, I HAVE to do it everyday!!! And dusting?!?! My kid gets dirty from playing with his toys INSIDE the house!
What? Am I supposed to dust and wash his stuff every night?!! that's absurd!
Then there's the mold!!!!!! It's freakin' growing on all the wood work, including the This End Up furniture in the living room!!
I will say, steps have been taken to remedy this problem, and it is getting better.

SRC tells me to calm down, and let things go.... and not be so anal about cleaning, but I feel like I am the only one doing battle with this..... I have to remind everyone to take shoes off, pick up their discarded wrappers, stop leaving their "trash" on any available horizontal surface!!! Put their damn laundry away!!! All the way away! Not just carried up stairs to be left ON the dresser to be put away later.....which it almost never does... it gets worn again before that happens. then dirty laundry is left on the floor!!! We're living in one freakin' bedroom!!! I NEED neat and orderly! Some more cooperation would be welcome.

SIGH!
Now see, how I just vented!! I feel like a heel. My life isn't that bad, really. There are way more other people that would love to even have a house to work on. and here I sit and complain about it. Pretty selfish of me.
Like the saying goes.... Rome wasn't built in a day. So neither will this house.
I'd hire a maid but the place is CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over) a cleaning person included

Sigh.......
