Do you ever feel like you've been a victim of body-snatching? Lately, I don't feel myself. My house stays in disarray (much to my husbands chagrin), my kids are testing me in new areas constantly....dear daughter's got a sassy problem anyway, but lately it's getting worse and dear son is "asserting his individuality" by learning to potty train (a time in a mother's life that will easily send you to a looney bin), and thinking he can operate the DVD player all on his own, therefore I find DVDs all over the house...how he gets to them, I haven't figured out yet! I can't seem to get organized, which deep down, KILLS ME because I love organization! If I had some money to spend on baskets, and shelving, and storage units, our house would be labeled up and down with where to place the toilet paper, where to store the extra laundry baskets when not in use (ha ha, there are days), what SHOULD go into the "junk drawer" in the kitchen, and my cabinets would be better organized: can veggies, beans, soups on this shelf, Peanut Butter, Spaghetti sauce, and mixes on this shelf, MacNCheese, Hamburger Helper, and box rice on the other shelf....breakfast foods to the left, lunch snacks in the middle, dinner box's on the end...spices in the rack, neatly labeled in matching containers, Medicines in order according to person, type of med, expiration date. See? It's all in my head, but for some reason it's not in my home....I need some help. Lately, I don't even care that the dishes haven't been done since breakfast yesterday, and that the laundry is flowing down the hallway...there is paper and magazines piling up on my desk, and just what am I supposed to do with all the paper my kids use to draw me sweet little pictures, notes and then there's the schoolwork, and church work they bring home....WHERE DOES IT END? I can't throw it all away, but I do sneak a lot of it in the garbage when they're not looking...it' would break my daughter's heart to know that mommy threw away the 400Th picture of her riding a pony as if a silent plea for her first pet....YEAH RIGHT! I can't clean up after the 4 humans living in this house....pets aren't an option. So I need some advice, motivation, & help. I'm feeling overwhelmed by all the work I need to do at home, and at church, and for my kids preschool (remember, I'm the crafty room mom who has to do a age appropriate craft for each child on each holiday...sometimes I wonder why I sign myself up for this! Here comes Valentines Day)
Well, if anyone wants to send me a professional organizer to my house (for free of course), please do so. I'll put him/her to work, for sure. And my hubby would be grateful too....even though that is HIS pair of jeans lying in the floor and the contents of his pockets spilled out onto the kitchen counter top.
