In a word.

en·tro·py (ěn'trə-pē)

n. pl. en·tro·pies

1. Inevitable and steady deterioration of a system or society.

Does this sound like the perfect descriptor of anyone else'e life besides mine?

I do try to improve my life a bit at a time, here and there.........house a little cleaner, a little more organized, child better taught, dogs more well-behaved, books returned on time, movies watched in less than 9 sittings, relationships a little more harmonious, laundry put away before it's dirty again, etc. etc. etc., and yet....

Somehow I not only never get ahead, but I seem to be slowly sliding down the slippery slope of dirty children and unshaved legs. Is there a secret recipe for actually making one life's better, instead of being in a constant state of slow and painful deterioration?

Look into trying something you've always wanted to but just never gotten around to it. That way you can feel that there is a little variety in your life...even if its temporary :) (I haven't made it there yet but it's on the list! ha ha)

Oh, honey, join the CLUB!!! My mother in law always tells me that a dirty child is a happy child. Sometimes I think she's trying to be encouraging, but she seems to be saying it a lot lately. Hmmmm.........
