Where do I start with this madness???

Well I have come to the admission that I am just not a good house keeper.... there I said it.  My house is a disaster and I can't seem to figure out where it all goes wrong on any given day.  I have been told by Eric numerous times that I can't seem to finish one single task..... I start a million things but yet nothing is done.  My reply is that I am a GREAT multi-tasker.... which really isn't true because I don't seem to be able to finish any of those tasks.  My biggest problem is that I start a project whether it is cleaning a room, going through closets/toys/drawers etc and then I leave that room to get something and while I am away, I always see something ELSE that I didn't get done, so I head over to finish it... and it leads to the next task... by the end of the day, I get back to the original task and am totally annoyed with myself because I have made more work for myself because I am TIRED by this time.

I have never been a fan of New Years resolutions because I think they just set us up for failure... however, I am going to try to come up with a schedule to tackle each room in the house, go through all of the crap, get rid of it or store it in a more useful way... that is the goal.  I get the Better Homes and Gardens emails and they had an idea to de-clutter your home.  So I am taking their advice and picking one BIG room a month and tackle it from head to toe.  I am going to start with my kitchen pantry and junk drawers... they seem to be over flowing with crap... and WHY do I need so many stinkin' canned goods in my pantry... I could feed an army with all of the stuff in there... I don't really know what is in there. 

So this is my goal to myself.... have my house presentable at ALL times that if someone were to drop in, I wouldn't be totally humiliated by what they see.  Don't get me wrong, the house is CLEAN it's just so dang cluttered.  I will be getting the kids involved as well, they are old enough to get the stuff picked up!  Wish me luck.... I am going to show you my pantry now.... and when I get it where I want it...I will show you the finished product.... not that any of you care what my pantry looks like, it will just be a proud moment for me!


Seriously.... who has this much crap in their pantry... there are only 4 people in this household for goodness sake.  I am going to start making meal plans based on what is in here, and get rid of it.  There is a TON of storage in there going to waste on canned goods that I hardly ever use!!  This will feel SOOO good when I am done...  happy organizing to me!

  1. woooo! Love it, then come down here and we can do my house. My problem isn't de-cluttering, it's de-DUSTING!

    I can dust the whole house but I HATE doing floors and baseboards.
