Does your husband's desk look like this one? I took a picture of this awful looking desk just a few minutes ago because I'm. Just. Fed. Up. I mean, who can actually work in that mess?
Confession: it's MY desk! (sorry honey, I just had to blame it on you, if even for a moment!) :o)
In all honesty, this is my old desk in my old office. My new desk in my new office looks much better. It's neater. Cleaner. No papers and junk all over. If only I could just muddle through that mess in the old office...
I'm here to tell you the desk is NOT the only thing that's a mess in there. It's sooo bad my camera nearly refused to turn on! Here's what I'm talkin' 'bout:
You may think that's not tooo bad, but here's the money shot:
UGH! I'm typically a "tidy" person. By tidy I mean that before the fam leaves to go anywhere, all chores need to be done and everything needs to be straightened. Some may call it OCD, I just call it prepared. I mean, what if the governor decides to drop by for a visit just as we pull into the driveway upon our return? Preparedness pays off, I'm here to tell you!
My main level is usually free from scattered crap, but the upstairs is known as the "visitor-free" zone for more than one reason. Case in point: old office. This extremely spacious room will be turned into a theater room/man cave once I'm done cleaning it. So far it's been about 2 months since I vacated the room and here it sits in this sad, sad state.
I had planned to spend a paltry 30 minutes a day cleaning and organizing it, but that plan went out the window during spring break last week. I had also geared myself up to start again this week but got involved in a room makeover for my oldest son instead.
I admit it. I'm a disorganized project-never-finisher-er (is that even a word?)!
So here's my solemn pledge: I will begin to tackle this room day by day and hour by hour. I commit to you all here and now that I WILL work on this room each and every day - even if it's only ten minutes at a time. I will organize all my junk nicely and neatly and will even get this barren whiteland painted. I'll even share my trials with you (as if you needed to see another junk space, but oh well)!
Stay tuned for this ridiculously daunting task to be completed, and let's keep a tally on how many other projects get started and finished during this time too, shall we? :o)
Happy organizing!
Like exercise, try to do it in 10 minute increments.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel having flooded twice in 7.5 months.
Good luck! I would have blamed it on my husband to, or even a kid. So now if the governor does come over, you can invite him upstairs! ;)
