If stuff everywhere is bugging you, you might want to check out unclutterer.com. They have really good suggestions for breaking down the clutter and getting motivated with what precious time is available.
If you can identify what "stuff" is bugging you, you can get a grasp on how to handle it. Does Theo still have clothes out that are now too small? Or toys he is now too old for? Those could be packed away into containers by size for future use or donation. Would that help with some of the "damn there is crap everywhere and its' getting on my nerves"?
How about a basket by the stairs for everything that has to go upstairs so you aren't running up and down putting stuff away. That one is easy and requires one step of prep work. Stick a basket or bag on the stairs to put crap in to take upstairs.
I know how aggravating it can be to have every surface covered in stuff. My place is like that now... I have no one to blame but myself and I still don't want to clean it up.
