You know the up side of hitting rock bottom? Once you are there, things can only improve. I talked to a friend of mine about it. One of those perfect house wives. Who will wring their hands in dispair about not having been able to clean up yet if you show up unexpectedly. Then they will let you in and beg you not to look around because the place is such a mess. But try as you might the only thing you can spot is a dirty cup left over from their coffee break, neatly tucked away in the sink as the diswasher is running. And even though you took off your shoes you see exactly were you walked as you are leaving a trail of crums that were stuck to your socks.
Well. I explained to her that once every dish is dirty, if you want to use one you will have to wash one first. So technically it can't get worse. Once all the clothes are dirty, they might get dirtier, but that won't make the piles in the laundry room any higher. So again. It can't get worse. Once all the toys are dumped out onto the floor, they can spread in different directions but the amount will not increase. She still didn't understand."But that can't be true," she kept saying. I finally said:"You obviously never hit rock bottom."
I feel like I once more hit it. Hard. That's why I'm smiling. Things can only get better.
