Out of Control

I feel my life is out of control. Okay, maybe not my life but my house. It is such a mess. Granted we do have a small house for 5 people with limited storage/closet space but it used to make me more efficient in a way. Now, I just have stuff oozing out of every nook and cranny, every available surface. I was going to post pictures but maybe later.
The thing is, I do have time. If I put my mind to it. I waste a lot of time on the computer. A couple weeks ago someone asked me how much screen time my kids get. My kids get more than they should mostly b/c of the earliness to which they get up. But if I stop and think about my screen time...it is so much more. I limit my TV viewing to after the kids go to bed but computer time on my days home is way too much. If I put as much effort into my house as I do my computer, I might have things under control.
That is my big summer goal. Limit computer time and get my house under control. We are having a garage sale in about 3 weeks so I need to purge, purge, purge as quickly as possible starting today.
Along with the limited computer time, getting my house under control, I want to spend more time with God. Somehow I was able to fit in reading 2 of the Twilight books last week in a matter of days but I can't take 1/2 hour to read the word? Honestly, where are my priorities. While I would much rather have my kids see me reading than being on the computer, I would also rather them see me reading the Bible and see it as a priority.
I will check back in with my progress and maybe post some pictures.

I thought I was the only one who has a house that was out-of-control. Today I've just given up. Tomorrow I hope to actually get something accomplished.
