I am not sure how it happens. Monday I worked extra hard at the livingroom. It was not just cleaned, but I tried to get the shelves looking neater. It was noticed. Now, today, the livingroom looks terrible. I picked up some papers already this morning, but I am not sure I can keep up with this room. And yet here I was going to focus on a room each of my days off and that would get us caught up again. Not working. Some magical pixies show up at night and just go crazy scattering things, dropping things, and moving things so that nothing looks clean anymore.

If all parts of life is like that, when you stop focusing on it, it tendss to get cluttered, how can we keep our lives from getting messed up. I can focus on my job, but my friend relationships get dusty, I can focus on my friends, but my home relationships get dusty, I can focus on home, but work gets dusty. Something gets left undone, unfinished, or just neglected. Could this just be a struggle for me? Is multi-tasking what this is about and I am bad at it, or is this something different. maybe everyone struggles but because we only see the times they focus on us that we don't see the rest of their lives getting dusty, getting piled on by those magical mess faeries. Oh well, at least one of my magical mess faeries is away at school right now, maybe I can get caught up a little.
