Oka...Argh - just wrote a post and it self-deleted.<br /><br />Okay - the short of it. You are absolutely NOT alone. Think almost all wives and mothers go through some version of what you expressed. I know I certainly do.<br /><br />Congrats on deciding to do it differently. Keep us posted on the inviting people over part! That's definitely the highest - and best - test of how far you have come on letting go. :-)<br /><br />AbbeyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16711473.post-12715753917360825082011-05-11T07:20:33.385-05:002011-05-11T07:20:33.385-05:00Lisa -

I know I certainly do. It's especially frustrating when you put your best foot forward, work hard on the house, and it STILL isn't where one would like it to be......<br /><br />So, congrats on coming to your decision. And good luck on the inviting people over part! You must keep us all posted (and inspired to follow suite).<br /><br />AbbeyAbbeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17802697428797217876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16711473.post-71095556745090351882011-05-10T09:40:41.287-05:002011-05-10T09:40:41.287-05:00Great post, Lisa!

It is always a struggle to balance out the "Martha and Mary" in me.<br />Inviting people over is a great cleaning motivator, but I also like to remind myself to keep it real! We are a big family and our house is going to look like it! So if there are fingerprints and drawings on the walls, and dust bunnies on the end tables, oh well! I am going to enjoy my friends anyways!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03955418539752748119noreply@blogger.com
