Do you wait for company too?

I'm afraid I am one of those people who loves simplicity and a clean, straight home, but I am the WORST housekeeper, ever. We just have too much stuff, period, and it drives me crazy!!! I wish Scott and I could have one week, no tv, no phone, no work obligations, and maybe even no pets, and go through this house, room by room, and clean up and clean out. It would be so much more manageable. Cleaning would be easier if there wasn't so much "stuff".

Did anyone watch Oprah yesterday about the hoarders? I have it recorded, and haven't watched it yet, but what little I saw makes me want to clean up right now so I'll never be accused of being like that lady. They are following up today.

My house is not filthy, too cluttered. I think I need Peter Walsh to come here and straighten me out.

I have a teenage daughter who is a disaster!!!Literally she did her laundry i told her for 2 days to get it out of the laundry room,It was moved from there to the upstairs hallway,So instead of her putting it away she started throwing her dirty laundry ontop of her clean.Makes no sence,So i got rather mad at her and told her she better move it the hallway is not a laundry basket.

LOL! that sounds very familiar. My youngest is a pretty good kid, typically on the ball, except when it comes to laundry. I prefer to wash and fold their laundry so I don't mind at all when she dumps a couple week's worth of laundry into the hamper at once. But what I DO mind is when I fold it and it sits on the sofa for a few days until Cameron scatters everything over the livingroom floor for the hundreth time and they move it to sit on the mantle. Then someone steals my laundry basket and puts the clothes from the mantle into the basket, where it moves to the hallway outside their bedroom door for a few days. They step over it every day a hundred times a day... do you think they could pick it up and take it with them? nooooooo.

Last month I got tired of waiting for my laundry basket to be returned so I simply dumped the clothes on the floor at the bottom of the steps and took the basket back to do MY laundry. Somehow its MY fault the laundry got covered in cat hair and wrinkled. (it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact it sat for a week and half before I got to the point of dumping it?)

Anyway, I had off this morning too (only work a few hours tonight) and got OODLES of work done (even while babysitting Cam -- he's so helpful -- I would put one thing away and he'd be hading me something completely random. My favorite was being handed 3 hotdog rolls). I feel so accomplished!

Now all I have to do is tackle my office (I might be here all night)
