I'm more disorganized than Ever My spare room where I keep our gift wrapping stuff looks like it has exploded. Crafts, supplies, wrap, bags, bows, tags, scissors, tissue, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas craft items are strewn around the whole room. I'm really ready to give everything away!!

Our bedroom/master bath is a mess. Ditto laundry room. I have clean crumpled laundry in baskets, stuff waiting to be washed, kitty litter to be vacuumed...

The kitchen/family room/library/living/dining rooms are OK. Just the upstairs has exploded. I have no will power to get it done. I'm just tired. Since way before Halloween it has just been non-stop. Before T-giving things were getting better, then we had T-giving and just everything has gone downhill from there!!

I'm usually pretty good. I guess I just wanted the 'perfect' holiday and even though I started Way way in advance it was just too much for me. Sorry for the whining! I am usually pretty good but I can't bear to start anything, it is just sooooo far gone because of the holidays. Ugh!

I feel the same way. I am so overwhelmed I don't even know where to START.

I cleaned SO many times over the last couple weeks, only to have everything wrecked again in a couple hours, dishes dirtied over and over again.. I am WIPED.

And emotionally, I am edgy because of our change in routine. I need to get back into a routine!

I wish I could be a little like that, looser and cooler about home and organization.
but my ocd thing gets the best of me,
I could literally not sleep if anything is unorganized

I am off, too. My husband goes back to work tomorrow so we can get back "on" again.

I'm off because dh is home but really messed up now with kids home. I keep thinking it's Saturday or Sunday. Actually my kids go back to school on Thursday so that will help.

This is my problem too! My husband returns to work today (Wednesday) and I keep thinking it is Monday. I'm all mixed up -- though truthfully it doesn't take much to keep me unorganized!

We have holiday guests right now so I feel very unorganized. Not because of our guests but because I still have Christmas decorations out and need to do some actual cleaning (sweep, mop, bathrooms, etc. ) And even though the clutter is at a minimum (because I keep stuffing things in drawers, closets, etc) I still feel unorganized. I'm going to take January to get this whole house put back together. That includes closets, drawers, dressers, cabinets, pantry, garage, etc. I'm gonna take one room at a time after the Christmas decorations are finally stored. I think I will start with my closet and room and move on from there. I'll do the garage last so I can put stuff out there that I don't want. I am actually looking forward to the challenge and the end result!!!

My whole house looks like a torando went thru it. Actually the kids rooms and playroom are the neatest rooms in the whole house right now! I was getting down a cleaning schedule about two weeks before Christmas, than three sick kids, I am still sick, everyone home and making messes. I just gave up. I still havent even touched my Christmas tree! That I am waiting until this weekend to tackle. The rest of the house, I am slowly getting cleaned and organized again. Beings this week is 1/2 over, I am just going to work on getting the house all clean. Than Sunday, start on back on my schedule of cleaning.

Yes, I wish when I was tired I would stop. I get overwhelmed if I leave the house too long and get behind on chores.
