My Home's Dirty Secret: Cleaning up the mess

I don't know why but I can't seem to find motivation to clean on Sundays. This is what it looked like Sunday evening =( It is completely out of my comfort zone to let anyone see my house like this so I hope that gives me motivation to keep it clean next Sunday.

This is my overflowing recycling bin. I organize my coupons on Sunday so it gets pretty full.

Dirty Rag/Dishtowel Bin. I need to do some laundry.

I did put away the Christmas Hot Chocolate and Candy though.

Dishwasher is full of clean dishes. I just couldn't get myself to empty it. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner dishes are really stacking up.

My girls like to "help" me organize my coupons. I give them the old store adds and coupons and they fill their backpacks. But mostly they just leave papers all over the house.

Our doormat was filthy. There has been snow on the ground since Christmas and our mat was constantly wet. I'm not sure if that is good for our laminate flooring so I put it away and replaced it with cardboard. It doesn't look great but I'll pull the mat out again if I know someone is coming over. I want a mudroom someday!

Living Room. The girls think watching movies on blankets spread out on the floor is much more fun than sitting on the couch.

This is where I've been organizing my coupons all day.

Stairs. At least I've kept piles from accumulating on the stairs.

Hallway. Dirty clothes that somehow missed the hamper ten feet away in another part of the house.

Bathroom. Lots of clutter but it's clean.

Proof that the bathroom is clean. I judge a bathroom's cleanliness by the back of the toilet seat area. Even if a bathroom appears clean, if there are pee stains or dust on this part of the toilet, I assume everything in the bathroom is dirty and unsanitary. If you judge a clean bathroom by a clean, water spot-less mirror, than my bathroom would only be clean twice a week in your definition.
