That is my ultimate nightmare. I work mostly weekends and the day I clean house is Friday — to avoid that. If there’s a stack of something I honestly will not work; just stare at the stack. But sometimes I wish I was more like how you are. It would be easier to not have to clean up before working.

You might become wealthy one day. Never say never. Even if I was wealthy, I couldn’t have someone else clean my house. It would be too weird. Except for the mopping — that would be heaven.

I am forever buying items to organize our household, but either they end up as “toys” (my son has turned plenty of baskets and bins into houses, steps, et cetera… and then has promptly destroyed them) or they wind up just making more clutter for me.

If I ever become wealthy (which I won’t, so this is a fairly moot point), I’ll pay someone to organize my house. But until that time, I guess I’ll just have to accept that I am doomed to clutterbugdom!

(Ironically, it doesn’t bother me all that much… in fact, I’m pretty comfortable working around leaning towers of books, papers, and god knows what else!)

As always, fun post!

Crabby — hey girl. Are you working this weekend? I don’t usually expect to see you around unless it’s a weekday. But as always it’s a pleasure. And you know you actually do seem like someone who might try all that organizing stuff but have it not help — so it’s funny you’d say that. If I see a good tidy robot I’ll send it your way.

I love the fantasy that if I buy something like a desk or a wall unit or even an entire house with lots of slots and shelves and compartments for keeping things tidy, that I will actually put things in them in some sort of sensible order.

(And even the dog in that picture seems to know where he or she is supposed to be filed).

But alas, I can buy all the organizational space I want, but I still end up with stacks of junk piled everywhere unsorted, because, well, I’m lazy and furniture or design elements aren’t going to change that.

Unless they come with a scanner/robot that can collect my junk, sort it and file it in the right place… then bring on the tidy house!
