Room to Re-Arrange

“But I don’t have anywhere else to put it.”

That’s been my excuse for years.

As a child, I loved small spaces.  I would spend hours in the two-foot space behind my dad’s recliner, pretending it was my house.   I used blankets and pillows to create a home in my not-a-walk-in closet.

I’ve known for a very long time that the cabinet in the gameroom would make a perfect little play spot for someone who likes small spaces of her own.

But . . . it was very full of stuff. And the thought of moving all of that stuff overwhelmed me.  Especially since empty spaces for stuff-relocation were a rarity.

About a week ago, I tackled that cabinet and the cabinet above.  I ruthlessly purged, getting rid of most of what was in there.

So last week, when a certain someone’s brother discovered her latest hiding spot in the linen closet and proved that there wasn’t enough room for the both of them, I was able to solve the problem by moving the very small amount of stuff into another practically-empty cabinet.

And that . . . took all of about three minutes.

Go me!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I forgot – whenever we took a trip, the first thing my sister and I did was find a place to be our “house”! If we were camping, it was under some overhanging shrub; in a cabin, some nook or cranny. And now I have a space in our bedroom with my rocking chair (from the former nursery – kids are now teens!) that looks out a picture window.

A Slob Comes Clean is the completely honest (and never-ending) story of my deslobification process. As I find ways to keep my home under control, I share the truth about cleaning and organization methods that actually work for a real-life slob. And I'm funny.
