Friday Contemplations
Less than a week....it took less than a week for every flat surface in my house to become cluttered...after my bi-annual holiday clean-up. The reason I know the clutter is creeping back is that a phone rang and we could not find it. We weren't sure whose it was... we have 4 including the land line. We called it twice, I kept saying it was in his chair, and it was. In the process we knocked off the land line, a popcorn bowl (with old maids in it) and empty pill bottles. I now have to move furniture to vacuum it up.
I can't find anything since I "picked up" for company. I have a cork board in the kitchen for Dr appointments and the like. I have a shred bin for stuff awaiting mincing and maceration. Finally I have piles of paper awaiting a decision of some kind. That is the stuff that is cluttering up the flat surfaces. This is my filing system. I moved an Ikea filing cabinet to Missouri,with us but it has a broken wheel that causes it to teeter so I put a tuna can under it. I haven't filed anything yet, although it has stuff in it, all the odds and ends I tossed into it, to hide them, because company was coming!
House keeping is not one of my qualities, I live by the premise that....My house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy......! Oh and then there is the dog hair....Don't get me started!

You and I would get along very well!
ReplyDeleteYou and I and Judy would get along very well!
ReplyDeleteI like your last take on housekeeping. I agree! I'm a clutter/pile person. Either I worry that once it's put away I won't remember where it is when I need it, or I'm too lazy to put away.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm with you all. I do enjoy sorting it all out though, finding stuff I'd either lost or forgotten about :O)
ReplyDeletethat table is pretty messy... lol
ReplyDeleteThat is not actually my dining room table but it is similar.
