    Default spring break - house gets so dirty when I'm home!

    the cats are shedding their winter coat cat fur everywhere.

    i find myself cleaning every other day instead of once a week.
    11% gross to retirement
    10% takehome to tithe and offerings
    emergency fund maintained at 3000(works for me)
    credit card debt 7500
    mortgage free
    freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow
    then live on the rest!

    i am trying something new. LDS church advises savings or debt repayment should be the same as the tithe. 10% each.

    I'm making the biggest mess - certainly cannot blame it on any animal for sure - though I would if I could. Planning on getting five dresses cut out - with lining so then I can clean up some of the mess and start sewing.

    The more home, the messier it gets.

    One of my cats is shedding like crazy too. Everyday I'm picking or sucking up hair.

    I have another full week of work before our spring break but the house will be getting cleaner not messier over break. Dogs needs brushed, but I'll do that outside, the neighbors will think its snowing.

    I should start a Spring Break to-do list, ugh.

    Yah, I suck at this money stuff, I know. That's why I'm here.

    it seems like the more I clean, the WORSE the house looks. I am seriously considering throwing everything away except clothes, furniture, and food.

    I lack motivation

    My house was beautiful two days ago, today it looks like a natural disaster struck. NOT one thing is my mess. I wish I could give up but I don't like messes
