Oz has a great but very simply philosophy - that everybody had a heart, that everybody had a brain, that everybody had courage. These were the gifts that were given to people on this earth, and if you used them properly, you reached the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And that pot of gold was a home. And a home isn't just a house or an abode..., Its people. People who love you and that you love. That's home. - Ray Bolger aka the Scarecrow
Having company over always motivates me so I do it often! But really I haven't ever been that great of a cleaner until we moved here. I have a weekly schedule now and it works great! If I don't do it I feel so yucky. So that is my advice, just do it once a week-you'll get used to it.
Pretend your mother-in-law is coming to visit!! (Just kidding -- she doesn't come to see your house, just all of you!! And she'll help you clean when she gets there!)
Amy Burr swears by FlyLady. I'm going to check it out. I find myself in the same situation, but it generally about my bedroom. It's just soooo easy to shut the door and not think about it! Out of sight out of mind, right?
Not! I still get depressed even though I avoid that room like it has the plague, but then where do I sleep???? : )
I'm a little late :) but I say just start one "small" project and see how that goes. If you still feel worn out, then you won't have to deal with it long. But if you complete it successfully, then you'll have a sense of accomplishment that could motivate you to continue.
Okay, honestly, this is lame, but in order to get myself to clean up, I think, "What if {insert cool person's name here} showed up right now? I'd be so embarrassed" Then I clean up. lol.

Have a diet Coke.... that cures just about everything. Not that I would know. That's just what Andrea tells me. ;)
i'll help you clean tonight if you help me clean tomorrow-- at least we can be depressed together :D
