40 Day Challenge Day 1

I was browsing through Wordless Wednesday a couple weeks ago and came across this post by A Mountain Mama and it challenged me to look at my life. I have struggled with house keeping. It just doesn't come natural to me. It's not habit. It frustrates me. I enjoy a clean house, I feel better physically and emotionally when I have a clean house. I have used Flylady's method and it does work and I followed it for several years. But I haven't stuck with it. We moved, tore our house apart, etc and I just gave in and gave up.
So, I decided to be brutally honest and post it on the internet. I figured I could take a picture each day and post it and keep track of what I did. I would like to maintain a decent house and also improve it so it's actually decluttered.
I figure if I can do it for 40 days, then it should be habit at the end and I can move on to something else that needs attention. :-)
So, here it goes: Day 1
