clean perspective
I said to Dad, "You'll have to excuse my house. It's messy." Dad got inside and said, "What do you mean its messy? You have all that floor showing." A few days later I actually got a bit of energy and cleaned. Dad told me he was surprised that I and my siblings are so clean based on how we were raised. When I put things in that perspective I guess my house isn't that bad. But I am working on getting it cleaner. Hopefully one day my house will move from my idea of messy to Liz's idea of messy. :) I remember when we went to Liz's house when I was pregnant she said that my house would soon look like hers. Paul looked around and said, "Clean?" She then explained it was messy because she had toys disorganized in one little play area.
