A Vicious Circle......

I like to be organized really I do. I tell myself that we just have too much stuff, but we can't get rid of the stuff because we may need that same stuff later, like the sporting equipment toys, scrapbooking junk. (keep in my this is post garage sale less than a month ago). I am convinced that if I spent a million dollars and the container store and pottery barn on all the amazing organizing stuff...that my house would be perfect. And then I remember that my three year old would still NOT know how to clean up after himself, that my 18 month old LOVES to pull every book, DVD, and basically anything that has a place on to the floor. I wish I did have that million dollars...you know what I would do throw EVERYTHING away and start over. Maybe in 2009 I will get it together maybe my house will stay cleaner longer, maybe I will have more motivation.....just maybe. And then someone spills their drink and the other crumbles graham crackers on my freshly vacuumed floor. Maybe by 2010. It is just vicious!

Amen! I feel the same way!! I could spend all day cleaning furiously and by the end of the day be in the same state as I started. Sometimes I just don't understand how that happens.

I know. I love when Bryan walks in the door and says "boys, this room is a wreck," especially when we have picked it up several times that day after we have gone to the park and run errands, which means we have been home for all of 2 hours when he walks in the door.

I keep telling myself that if only had had a bigger space things would not seem so disorganized because I would have more room to put things. I really need a bigger house. Then I would be able to not have a cluttery (that is probably not a word, but I don't care) place with toys in every room, they could stay in one room!!!!

Oh, I feel your pain... and I just moved. You'd think I would have de-junked by now. What's the deal with all this stuff and how will I ever get organized?!?!! I'll aim for 2010 too!
