I bet that Martha Stewart does not do any of her own housework...she has staff, for such tedious things....

I was never picky with my boys either...if their rooms were a mess, I just closed the door...I did not want the hassle...

My older boy was pretty good about keeping his room fairly decent...but the younger boy was a disaster...there were actual mountains and hills of things in his room...but the odd thing is, if I complained about it, and wondered how he could find anything, he would tell me to ask him to find something, and he could find anything in a snap...so I just left it...

After the older boy died, and we moved into a smaller place, Andys room was still always a disaster...hills, and mountains of various items, planted all over his room...

So one day, while he was off at at school, I spent the whole day, cleaing and rearranging his whole room, and got it nice and clean and neat...

I thought he would be happy...But when he came home from school, I thought he was going to have a fit...seems having the room all neat and tidy, just bugged him, and he was just beside himself...he was only 12 at the time, but he asked me to never do that again...he preferred to live amongst all the clutter in his room...That was the last time I ever cleaned his room

And it took him just a few days to get the hillss and mountains back to where they were, before I so rudely cleaned up

Yet today, he lives up in Seattle, (he has two rooms to himself in a house that he shares with the woman who owns the house, his rent helping her pay her mortgage), and his two rooms are actually pretty neat for him...

But he claims his mind works better, if he has his little piles here and there, and has his stuff arranged in those piles...its just the way he operates...

We have already had an insurance guy out here a couple of times, when we had some bad storms...once a big old tree fell down and whacked the corner of the house...another time the very tip top of a tree cracked off and came crashing down and put a small hole in the roof...but they have already paid those claims and the work done was only minor....

But the roof is a year past the time when it should be replaced so its just got to come out of our pocket...its just normal wear and tear now...

OH MY!!!! I am so much the same way at work...I have "PILES" of papers everywhere...and my boss is constantly nagging me to "file" things away..but whenever I do, I can no longer find what i need...at least in my piles i know where things are..........Why don't people understand not everyone can be anal retentive?????

[andysandmikesmom]

I dont know about anyone else, Westy, but I have been drinking wine since lunchtime...drinking wine, always makes the drudgery of housework seem more delightful...of course, it muddles my mind also, but what the heck, I am happy...

[westmex]

Me at Death Valley.
I don't always wear white T-Shirts. Especially when I'm in Mean Dude Mode....lol...
....Westy....

[andysandmikesmom]

I think everyones mind works in different ways...and for some people having piles works better than having things neatly filed away...

One of my cousins teaches at the University of Louisville, in Kentucky...and my aunt says he is the same way as my son...he has piles and piles of stuff everywhere...and that is his system....His wife, tho, is the opposite, and likes everything neat and clean and sparkling

So they have a deal...he wont make a mess in the rest of the house, so long as she does not fiddle with, nor complain about anything is his office at home....And my aunt says, that he just has hills and mountains and stacks of stuff everywhere in his office. And he is happy as can be in there...and his wife never enters, and just closes the door, when company comes to visit...

Doors have a good purpose, they can hide the clutter that drives other people mad...

girl I swim in pool with (Patsy) (the one who wants to take habs' books out of library
told me today her friend writes down in book every book she ever read
so she won't accidentally take the same book out of library
she showed her book to Patsy, and told Patsy she carries it with her everywhere
(in case she stops at library or 2nd hand bookstore, she consults it first)
Patsy said ''she is so organized''

when I chitchatted with spirit when I was swimmin' by myself later
spirit said, ''organized means remembering to take your library card with you when you go to the library
there's another word for writing down every book you ever read, and carrying that book with you wherever you go''
Love, Palo
