Can't get out of my rut

[Tink]

Well heck, it looks like everything that I was afraid would fall apart has.

Katie and Josh ran into a snag and aren't moving this weekend as planned.
Joel just found out he's going to be laid off for 2 weeks over Christmas and New Years so now figures he can't afford to move out...

So they're all still here sitting in a lump in my living room.
Last night I had the kitchen all cleaned and now it's a mess again.
I have bags of garbage sitting waiting to be taken out and despite promises that they'd get done, there they sit.
The table's covered with board games and pop cans from the kids sitting there and not bothering to clean up after themselves. There are dishes and glasses sitting around the living room... they just don't care!

I'm just feeling totally defeated. I can ask nicely, plead, yell or threaten and they all just tune me out. I feel like a wicked witch in my own home and I'm totally sick of it.

Bah Humbug.
