I am an ex-military guy. I used to be really anal about cleaning. My wife is a pack rat who must keep everything!

NO.. I mean everything! She collects Snoopy "things" and has since she was a kid. Get this.. our kids will have a fruit snack that came in a snoopy wrapper.

Which they have to save for her.

I am the offical jackass. I throw them away if I see them laying around. I could see saving one that could possibly have some type of meaning to it. But why every freakin one I will never understand. As you can tell... this issue still irks me.

I used to get really upset at the mess. It was just to chaotic. We have four children. I find it is pretty much impossible to keep everything clean. You can drive yourself crazy about this being out of place, or that room is way to dirty.
So now we do our cleaning on the weekends. With pickups during the week...whenever we see too much clutter. It is still an ongoing process to learn how to manage our time and still be proficient at keeping a clean home.
