Shove it

Shove it, is something Ed and I are sadly good at. Our house gets messy, and we are having people over, and we shove it. Everything from laundry to magazines, to clothes.

Anywhere we can find a space that the guest won't see. This unfortunatly makes for an insane day when I am trying to find something. And I have to look EVERYWHERE. I was given a bag of magazines to give to Jen from my mom. I swore they were in the front room. But Ed's mom came by, so the next few days I searched high and low for those magazines. I found them. In the bag, shoved under the entertainment center. Sigh.

I am no better. I bought a vase at Jewel marked down, well it was in with the Halloween candy I bought. Couldn't find it, hours later I thought to search the bags of candy. Wala! Vase.

We have been doing this for the 7 years we've lived together. I am trying to find a place for everything, so everything can be in it's place. But sometimes it's just not that easy. I have a lot of stuff to find places for!

Sometimes it's like fighting a loosing battle. I organize, people are coming over, we shove it. I really don't want my kids to pick up this habit, I just know that with Ed working 2 jobs he really doesn't know where I keep everything, and I am just starting to feel better (knock on wood) so I really want to organize every inch of this house!!

Wish me good luck!!
