Michele, are we looking at the same pics? Are you dissin ' on my mess?
Honestly, I made a good bit of progress about the time of your "digging out" thread. I was nesting... I got inspired and purged lots of junk, and I found homes for lots of stuff that tended to float around the house. It's true the house is *much* better than it was six months ago!
I'm def. a messie, though! I struggle every day, and usually run around in a panic when folks come over. My saving grace is that we have folks over pretty often, so the public areas look okay every couple of weeks. The problem is that I stash the mess in the basement or the closets
It's a constant cycle of mess-guilt-clean-let down guard-mess-guilt-clean. I want to be a person who picks up after herself so I'm not always creating a mountain of work for later
I'd really like for my kitchen counter not to be a diary of everything James and I have eaten for the last few days
