Here to say hello and declare myself a Messie - so nice to see the same holds true for others. It's funny, I see other people's photos and think "Awww, it's a shame she's so hard on herself". But when it comes to myself, it's "Wow, look at this mess, you slovenly heap of worthlessness."
I'm happy to say I decluttered the dining room completely on Monday, and as of this writing (Fri night) it's still clean. ::backpat:: Tomorrow's task is to do the same for the family room and the kitchen. These are our three *least* cluttered rooms so I started small.
Eventually I'll work my way to the super-messy rooms, particularly our living room (the ultimate dumping ground). Baby steps!
