Jan. 2nd, 2009 04:31 pmWhen I spend all day trying to make the house look better only to have it look worse than before, this is proof to me that I am utterly incompetent.
The truth of it is that there is too much to do, and I keep getting distracted by all the unfinished things. The other truth of it is that everyone in this house, including me, is perfectly happy to ignore the mess most of the time.
The other hard truth of it is that it's getting dark now, at 4:30 (one of the things I really HATE about New England), and it feels like the whole day is over. The house is still a mess, and I feel like a failure.
