I Live for Compliments

I’ll admit it. I love compliments. In fact, when someone says something nice about me, it takes much maturity and self-control to not ask them to repeat themselves and elaborate further.

My mom was here last night and today while I took my oldest in for his surgery. We had a great time, and at one point, she mentioned how much different my house is. That she can really tell a difference, and that it’s looking so much better.

Heehee.

My mom has always been so encouraging. I know I drove her crazy as a child slob, then a preteen slob, and then a teen slob, college-student-home-for-breaks slob, and a moved-back-in-for-6-mo-after-college slob. If there’s anyone in the world who understands my struggle, other than my husband, it’s my mother.

So it really means a lot that maybe she has some hope for me.

    You are lucky to have a mother so open & unjudgemental. Hug her for me.

    I can completely relate to you, as I also live for compliments. As I’ve been taking your advice and slowly and steadily been working towards keeping the house clean my Mom has been starting to take notice as well. It’s a WONDERFUL feeling!

    You are helping me so much! Thank you! I’m just sorry I didn’t find you sooner. I have hope for my house. But presently I just want to throw everything away. I’m reading your first book. I have the declutter bug. You are so funny too. Thank you! Thank you!

A Slob Comes Clean is the completely honest (and never-ending) story of my deslobification process. As I find ways to keep my home under control, I share the truth about cleaning and organization methods that actually work for a real-life slob. And I'm funny.
