I’ve been looking at this pile of shoes . . . pretty much all summer.
Every time I see it, it irritates me. Every time I see it and my brain acknowleges that I see it, it REALLY irritates me.
I’ve tripped over it. I’ve sorted through it to find the shoes I needed. I’ve disliked it. I’ve dreamed of the day when I’d have time to fix it.
Ummmm, really?
So today, I took the entire three minutes necessary to move the shoes from the big ridiculous, unexcusable pile to the handy-dandy shelf where they actually go . . . four feet away.
And in that three minutes, I took the somehow-previously-invisible-and-completely-unnecessary-since-baseball-season-ended-in-June cleats to their home in the bottom drawer of the dresser in the boys’ closet.
And in this closed drawer, I found a needed-to-be-found-before-it-was-forever-ruined-by-mildew towel.
Yes, mother, don’t worry. I know you read the blog, and I can hear your gasp.
I am constantly amazed that when I stop ignoring one thing, my eyes are opened to other things . . . things that need to be seen as well.
Nony… you are a girl after my own heart. You've inspired me to head into my closet and matchup all those flip flops in a heap.
My biggest worry?? How in the world do I teach my daughter to not be like me?? Yikes.
Have a great day.

I am going to go and clean under my bathroom sink today because of your post because it is driving me crazy !!!!!!!!!!!!
I keep up on the shoes and continually put them away on the shelves we have for them. It is amazing the things that drive us crazy but how short of a time it actually takes to fix them.
I really need to go get a shelf for the shoes! We had one and it broke when someone decided to use it as a step stool, and since then the shoes have taken over! LOL 🙂
so guilty of the shoe pile… but mine are often under clothes dropped on the closet floor. totally relate
I think what drives ME crazy is that I give my 11 year old the "task" of getting all the trash gathered to put in the trash can (before the trash trucks do) and he walks RIGHT BY and OVER trash taht is just SITTING IN THE FLOOR?! How is it reality that I am the ONLY ONE that sees this $hit in the floor? Seriously?
