Dear Self,
I know you are often tired. I know sometimes you'd rather throw that old sweater in the closet instead of hanging it up where it belongs. I know that a kitchen lived in by six messy people looks like a daunting task at 10:45 when you've just gotten home from work. I understand that you'd rather wallow in the mess and give up, and just let everybody live in their own clutter for awhile to teach them a lesson... but guess what... it won't get you anywhere.
You set the tone for the house! Like it or not, this thing rests on you! Yes, it can be unfair. Yes, you have more responsibility than most. But God has given you this for a purpose. Look at it as a challenge, a business opportunity. Where do you want your household in the next year? Do you want to be living in the same garbage day in and day out, or do you want to foster a home of beauty and care where everything and everyone has a purpose and a place?
I know you might be feeling a little low, so here's my tip for you; Don't go to bed in a mess. Don't let yesterdays problems spill over into today. Keep things simple, keep things clean, and don't let backlog drag you down. You had time today to laugh with your family because you got yesterday dealt with yesterday. Go for the extra mile, give it a little more push! Soon, you'll find yourself living in the land that you want to, the land of happiness and freedom.
