[...] Also this month I have tackled the pile station in my house – the kitchen counter. I know, I told you about this one the other day. Thankfully I spent several hours shredding, filing, and recycling papers. The counter is not completely cleaned off now, but it looks so much better now.I like Maricar’s take on the matter of organization. I agree with her. We cannot do everything and be a good mom to our kids. Sometimes things cannot always be the way we want them to be. I cannot live my life being stressed out all the time because of the way my house looks. I just have to deal with as much as I can and teach my kids some responsibility along the way. I cannot advocate messiness and will always strive for some semblance of order in my house. But I also see the pitfalls of being obsessed with neatness. Mine is a 3-person job. Two little kids in the house, meals to prepare, bathrooms to clean, laundry to wash, and toys to put away every single day. At this point in my life, striving for neatness is causing me some amount of stress, and I never get there anyway. I want a clean house. I want neat closets. But, until the kids are older, I’d probably have to shelve such aspirations. Technorati Tags: b5 blog, clutter, home life, housekeeping, messy home, organization [...]
