I've be...I swear we were separated at birth Betty. I've been trying FOREVER to get motivated to get organized. I need to 'weed out' a lot of things...organize. Everytime I try....it seems so overwhelming that I run the other way. This is stuff from all four of my kids....stuff they haven't bothered to think about and take with them. And, I'm the worst one...I hesitate to throw ANYTHING out...I'm probably the most nostalgic of the bunch...well, maybe not. I've saved everything from all their school years and a lot of their games and toys, etc. HELLO! And...it's not just their stuff. I need to focus on organizing all this stuff instead of live at my computer....but it's so much more fun. Boy, did you hit a chord with this post.

My work environment is much more organized than home as well. At home, I am a boxer. I will sort through the pile on the kitchen counter after it becomes too unstable, and deposit the vital items in a box. The box goes downstairs in my office. I have a total of 17 awaiting sorting. Don't tell the fire marshall. I think I could probably just toss that stuff by now, but I might miss a keepsake of my kids' school careers.<BR/><BR/>And I must also add: WOW! You have a DISHWASHER?Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-52768315853922824182007-09-30T21:19:00.000-05:002007-09-30T21:19:00.000-05:00I'm a piler.

Maybe that checkbook I've been missing for two months? Maybe that shirt that went missing last week? I wish I could be more organized.
