Really, Does Anyone Like Monday?

 Now I know this takes guts, showing the world what lies behind your front door, but I figure I’m among friends- right? What I woke up to this morning was quite disturbing (I’m sure you will agree) I decided that I would photograph the filth I live in, only to inspire me to transform it into a somewhat livable space. I think I have succeeded.

You are about to embark on a series of pictures, some are quite graphic, viewer discretion is advised….

All right, now that I have completely embarrassed myself, please keep reading and watching so I may have some redemption…

Now that you have seen the real me, I will be able to tell my true friends from the fakes.  The ones who hang their head in shame upon seeing me are not friend worthy.

  1. I am so impressed! I cleaned ALL DAY Saturday and only got my room and the 2 bathrooms cleaned before I pooped out. Every year for my birthday, my mom comes and helps me super clean my house. I have only about 6 weeks to go, but I’m scared. I always end up ready to die from exhaustion!

  2. I’m so happy your not the perfect little “Molly Mormon” because then we couldn’t be friends and I do like having you for a friend!!!

  3. YAY! Another friend that has a REAL home and not afraid to admit it. My house is crazy messy too…I just have the advantage of having an upstairs. I NEVER allow guests upstairs because then you see the REAL Bigelow home. 😉

  4. I don’t know why we are friends! You are so perfect and uptight! HA HA Ha!!! I love you even if we have nothing in common but a Monday house!

  5. Me too! Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one this happens too. Makes me feel better that I’m not!

  6. You must be Bewitched from the TV series…did you just twitch your nose? Good job, now come do mine..
