Tipping Point

My house is a mess.

It wasn't a mess a week ago.

It was picked up a few days ago.

It is a big mess now.

I feel that messes go from being tiny

to out of control

with no in between 'general mess'.

I get overwhelmed

I feel it is helpless

Then, I am inspired to clean

I get it under control

I go a spell where it is neat mostly.

And then...it all starts again.

I have a friend who NEVER has a messy house

How does she do it?

I know she thinks it is logical how to do it.

I cannot see the logic.

I didn't get that gene.

And so it goes....and so it goes....
