Only 24 hours in a day when I need 30.....or more!

I came home to my college apartment last night to one HUGE mess!!! I live with my brother and while he may be genius, he is not exactly the type who dusts, washes dishes, or vacuums.  I take that back he does vacuum his room maybe once a month??? I being the sister have taken over our mom's role somehow and I'm not exactly thrilled about it!! I left the apartment in a little bit of a mess, I returned and my kitchen looked like this!

okay, not exactly like this but you get my point! so i spent almost 4 hours cleaning and organizing the kitchen, and pantry/ laundry room. I sometimes feel as if I have no control over something or a situation  ........so to help me not go crazy I focus on things I can control.  I decided that the kitchen needed to be my victim and it looks sooooo much better!!! and I'm about to tackle the linen closet in the hallway! I just got through with homework and I accomplished everything on my "task list" for the day! GO ME!! It almost never happens but it did today. I feel the past few weeks I have not been so productive and just coasted on the minimal but maybe a week of catching up on sleep and hanging out with my parents put everything back into focus! When I finish my list of goals for the day and can scratch off each item, I feel soooo good about myself. 

This is going to be a short entry because I need to organize, as far as what I'm trying to control........I'm not sure.  I will post pictures tomorrow of my clean kitchen and closet!
