NEED to organize my house, business, life. Somehow this desire gets lost in the translation.
I pick a day and a spot....again, in my mind. Instead I always seem to cruise thru Target, Ikea and online looking for the perfect organization tools. I know that if I just buy the right box, label or divider that I will miraculously turn into an organization diva. Ughhhhhhhh....I so wanna do this, I say to myself.
I have spent hours and hours purging, sorting and organizing any number of spaces in my house and office/cottage. I work feverishly until I feel I have accomplished the task. New bins/boxes...check, donate, keep, trash piles.....check, sorted and labels said bins/boxes....check. Here's where the problem actually starts............How in the HECK do I keep everything looking organized????
I actually got this vintage sign from a friend of mine. I L-O-V-E my family. But....they are piggies. It stays where it is dropped...FOREVER....unless Mom puts it away. In the beginning of my marriage/family I ran a tidy ship. I worked like crazy to keep up with everything. Babies came along and I struggled. I started my own business and it all fell apart. I could no longer keep up!!

I used to get frustrated and a little peeved....(I promise, no "whacking"). Then, someone gave me something to thing about...."dust bunnies don't bite." My kids won't remember the disorganization when they grow up, (if they do then as I say... "put it on your therapy tab"). My hope is they will remember a loving, faith-filled, hard-workin' mama. Sooooooooo... if you can't beat 'um,
join 'um. (Insert OINK, OINK right here!)
I'd love to hear your thoughts.......
Have a good one,
Robin
