Clutter Monster

Watch out for the clutter monster,

Who wants to ruin your life.

He’ll move in uninvited,

And proceed to cause you strife.

He tells you to save,

Each magazine and bill,

If you follow his advice, 

Your house will over-fill !

He tells you to keep this,

He tells you to keep that,

Even to keep,

Your grandfather’s hat.

With things in boxes,

All over the place,

You’ll soon find out,

You have no space!

He’s convinced you to keep,

All of your junk.

His advice to you,

Is just plain bunk!

Throw out some paper,

And claim your life back,

The clutter monster,

Will at first give you flack.

If you keep up your efforts,

Your house will look swell.

Clutter monster in your house,

No longer shall dwell.

Daily Snap-

Today's daily snap is of my chore for the day.

I decided that I was going to de-clutter the closets. I was able to get three closets done between having to stop every other minute with Typhoon Trio. We are blessed to live on military family housing but they were built way back when and there is absolutely no storage space. You spend a lot of your time moving things around hoping that you'll find the hidden space that is not available. With 6 people plus everyone's clutter equals a 1,000 sq ft home bursting at the seams. I'm going to get rid of and pass forward anything that is not not nailed down. My goal is to K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) my house. I'm also going to get back to being a flybaby! I loved my house when I was committed to following the program. Tomorrow is Monday and I will be blessing my home and putting out the fires where there are hot spots =) If your house is driving you crazy and you don't know where to start check out the flylady at www.flylady.net. You're not behind you are just getting ready to fly!!

Laundry

Crystal Felos

In the laundry room is my enemy.

Clothing piled taller than me.

Is it dirty, is it clean?

More laundry than one person has seen.

I tell the kids pick it off the floor.

Turn around and there is more.

Separate into little loads,

If I do more laundry I think I'll explode.

Start with whites, add some bleach.

Where did the sand come from we have no beach?

Throw in the dryer, add a sheet

Oh laundry has me beat.

Time for the blankets shove them in.

Now great the washer won't spin.

Buzzer goes off, time to fold.

Get me a maid? I think I'm sold.

Two loads in need more soap.

Should have got some, What a dope!

Back from store, now three loads in.

When will my laundry hell end?

Folding socks while others dry

Sock thief makes me want to cry.

It's now six, dinners not made.

Five more loads, I'm afraid!

Finally I have given in.

So I wear dirty clothes that's no sin.

Daily Snaps-

Sorry yesterday got away from me. Nothing exciting happened just spent a good 1/3 of the day conquering Mount Washmore. Then off to help make the 70s decorations for our annual squadron party. By the time we were done making over 60 flowers I was beat. Afterwards hurried back home to help make dinner and put Typhoon Trio to bed. After the babies were snugs as bugs in bed. I went and hung out with my DH at work. Unfortunately that was about the only way I was going to get to see him after this last week. =/ 

Here's Diego conquering my Mount Washmore .
