[ organizing for dummies... ]





sooooooo... i'm reading 'organizing for dummies' which personally the 'for dummies' titles are slightly offensive!! i know i'm crap at it that's why i bought the book, rub it in a bit more why don't you!!

feeling really inspired (maybe a bit too inspired) & as one of my news years resolutions is to de-clutter de-clutter de-clutter... i decide to organize my kitchen cupboards...

due to the fact i'm really really bad at anything 'tidy' this involves me pulling everything out of said cupboards making a huge mess & wishing i'm never started this job.

10 minutes later i would rather just admit i'm a dummy & do something more fun.

1 hour later ~ this is taking far longer than i thought or want... i wonder if there are cleaning fairies that would take pity on me... oh please.

i know this is mega mega wasteful but i'm examining all the packages hoping they are past their best by dates so i can toss them instead of having to put them away!

the tv is on & i can hear it's that episode of olivia when she does magic... i wonder if i can invite that pig round here & get her to make this mess disappear... it's times like this i wish i was samantha from bewitched & could twitch it right.

my boys keep going through the kitchen shouting 'beep beep', because they can't get through... this was cute the first dozen times... 'mommy you made a mess' isn't helping me either...

organizing is great when it's done, but what a depressing work out to get there...

i s'ppose i should get my butt back in there because i haven't finished yet... boo hoo hoo
