My husband and I watch that show regularly—I noticed that about that woman too—she seemed more upset at the animals going than the children.
I’ve had people remark that you couldn’t tell we have four kids because I keep the house so clean. I can’t stand clutter; every couple of weeks I go through and sort through the papers that have piled up and either file or throw them away. I purge stuff on a regular basis and make the kids do a ‘toy purge’ before Christmas. While I’m not anal about cleanliness and clutter (with four kids, who can be), I try to keep it to a standard that I would not be completely mortified if someone dropped by unexpectedly.
I’ve often thought about going into professional organization, but I’m not sure I could deal gracefully with the hoarders. I’d just want to throw stuff out!
