No motivation

Why am I completely unmotivated?  My house is a wreck, the yard is a wreck, my car is a wreck.  I haven't blogged for exactly 2 months.  I have literally hundreds of pictures waiting to be retouched so I can print them out and actually have pictures of my daughter up or post them or email them to people.

And yet, I have zero drive to do any of it.

Every.  Single.  Room.  In my house is in need of organization and a good scrubbing.  Seriously.  Every single room.  Sure, we have people over every Thursday night (and sometimes moms come over on Tuesdays), but I don't clean...I tidy.  I vacuum the living room, pick up the toys and paper piles, clean up the kitchen and make sure the guest bath/J.J.'s bathroom isn't completely disgusting.  It's "good enough for government work", as some old folks might say.

But truth be told, I'm tired of my house and yards being only tolerable and livable.  I want them to be cozy and homey, yet nice-looking!  Well-decorated!  Clean!

I read blog after blog about organization.  I look at magazines.  I even try to find inspiration from friends' homes.  I get fired up about cleaning out the junk, sorting through the giant piles of c-r-a-p, and either pitching it or selling it somewhere.

But what happens when I get home or log off the computer?  Hadley wakes up from her nap.  Or I have to go pick J.J. up from school.  Or....(insert excuse after excuse in there).

I'm too tired to get things done, but I'm so tired of them looking the way they do that I'm about to snap.

Does anyone else feel like this?  Anyone have a solution?  Or an afternoon free?  :)
