Jane- Years ago I read up on Fly Lady and it actually worked for a while. I totally forgot about her. Those were the days I ran all over the house with an egg timer...lol

Terra- Sorry to cause ya heart trouble. Rest assure that I won't go overboard on this house work stuff;)...lol! Just need to get it back to where I feel good about it;)

Holly- If you lived closer we wouldn't get any housework done! We'd be too busy visitin'--Your place not mine (too messy ;))

Allison- What a coincidence! I gots one of those lil' maids too!

Kerin- Thanks for the encouragement. I am so impressed by those who can do it all--especially with all those little ones. I'll get there one day...eventually :P

Denise- Thanks for stoppin' by!

Katie- Oh Katie!! Buy it. Best $5 you will ever spend!!! I will love having someone else talkin' the Tice talk with me:)

I found out that we share something in common today when I was checking out Hoosier Farm Babes blog! You and I share a birthday! I knew you were special;)

I am soooo just like you. I am messy, too, and I can't seem to fix it. Maybe, just maybe I'll buy the book and read it along with you. Or will you be able to teach me everything I need to know in your 12 weeks?!?!?

Good morning.
I have to admit... I am a neat-nic.
I had three children under four years of age.
I had to be organized. I would get up before they did, and go to bed after they did. I found that my life went a lot smoother and I was A LOT less cranky, when things were clutter free.
I still get cranky if things start to pile up.
My mom was just the opposite, and so maybe that's why I am so clean.
Best of luck with the organizing! You can do it!

Oh girl, you sound alot like me!! I came from a family that were so clean and tidy, you could of ate off the floors! Everything had a place too.

As I've gotten older and married and a baby... well that just doesn't happen here in our home....the organization. I just simply can't keep up with it.

Like I tell everyone who enters my home..some planned visits and some not, excuse my messes.

I feel like we live in our home. I mean LIVE in it! It is not a show-house and never will be. There are toys everywhere, crumbs from probably 4 days ago, and probably one if not both of the toilets needs a good scrubbing because I've not got to it yet for the week. But like I say, we LIVE in our home.

Don't get me wrong, I love a little organization. And I have my days where it gets done. But on most days, I have one of those little maids that follows behind you and undo's everything you worked hard at:)

Augh! This was like reading the post I'm too much of a wimp to post! I'm going to go clean my kitchen right now! :-)
It's to bad that we don't live closer; we could trade off & help each other clean! (Wonder what we'd actually get done?!)

Oh my Cris, I'm one of those organization freaks – you know a tote for everything & everything in it's tote. Haha! Just your pics gave me slight heart palpations. 🙂 HOWEVER, I have to say that I am nothing like I use to be & over the years I have learned that stuff like this will wait while we play with our baby(ies), laugh with our husbands and enjoy the things that makes our life special (I don't know about you, but no tote has ever made my life more special!). So I wouldn't worry too much about the mess. It'll still be there waiting on you… 🙂

Tess frequently plays visits to my house, too! lol My gal pal the FlyLady and I are constantly trying to kick her to the curb…one 15 minute segment at a time. 🙂 Today I'm having my own little "Anti-Procrastination Day." Maybe I'll blog abt it tomorrow and let you know how it goes. 🙂 Go, me!
