I remember hearing the term entropy in a science class once, and for some reason it's definition comes to my mind whenever I clean my house. Entropy is a universal law that states: disorder creates more disorder.
In other words, messes seem to have a way of creating more messes, which then have a snowball effect. For example, have you ever left out an open jar of peanut butter only to find that somehow it gets smeared all over the kitchen floor, tracked into the carpet and couches, only to end up caked on your favorite jacket you left out on the armchair last night. You look back and think, wow, if only I had put the peanut butter away.
Keeping ahead of the mess is a constant battle for me with three little boys....and today I lost.
I probably should have a little more pride and dignity and not reveal today's defeat, but my kids have stripped me of that long ago.

You always word things so eloquently. There's always tomorrow so enjoy the mess!
I like the doll stroller...nice touch in a house of 3 boys. We have one of those from Grandma lying around in our "Entropy"-infrested house too. =)
