I can completely relate to clutter and expectations of children. I have a 2-1/2 year old, and it is difficult to try to stay organized when she wants to bring out her Weebles, and Barnie, and Mister Mister, and... Yet I know I don't feel good when there is a lot of clutter. I can function, but not well. Thank you for your perspective. I'll do better about not feeling guilty about the Cheerios on the living room carpet. At least until the end of the day. Now, if I wake up the next morning and those Cheerios are still on the floor, well... Hi Maricar,

You're so right about organizing being a "wave". If only things would just stay where we put them, no? Hi Stef,
I’m glad you stopped by! You’re so right about organizing being a “wave”. If only things would just stay where we put them, no?
