i'm unorganized...there i said it...isn't that the first step?

[froghopper]

I believe that being unorganized is a disease....It's kinda like alcoholics anonymous...you would kill just to be able to be lazy and not do a darn thing..you crave it, you HAVE TO have it..and SO SO easy to say I can be organized any time i want to...and just like AA there are 12 steps..

1.  Admit that you have a problem...come on ladies say it...I'm unorganized...you can do it!!
     there, now don't you feel better?

2.  We NEED to believe that a power greater than us (GOD, yes ladies prayer and this group) can help us become more organized.

3.  Make a decision that we need to get off our butts, make a plan and stick to  it.

4. Make a fearless and searching inventory of our unorganized mess.

5. We need to admit to others that we are unorganized slobs. (refer to step one)

6.  We are ready to have God (and this group) help rid us of our problem.

7.  Humbly ask GOD to remove our shortcomings....remember ladies, prayer works!!!

8.  Make a list of all we need to do.

9.  Apologize to whomever our messy unorganized behavior effects (dog...maybe forgot to feed him, doctors office..maybe forgot that apt..etc.)

10.  Continue to monitor our organization skills and when we suck, ADMIT IT (were not perfect girlie's)

11.  Pray again.

12.  Hopefully this works for us and we can spread the organizational skills that we acquire to others...be organized gurus if you will :)

anyways...

i am unorganized too.I don't really let my house get too bad.i just try to keep to my little system..I pick up after i take my daughter to daycare..then i study and at night when she goes to bed i go through the house..Have a set day to do something..On sat i bleach and mop my floors,and do bathroom.sunday i do dust and do living room and bedroom.

yeah, but you have a small two bedroom apt.  when i had the house by the lake it was SO easy to keep clean.  I was only 5 small rooms and you had to be organized, but the bigger the house, the bigger the mess, the more overwelming it can be.  i miss my lil house by the lake, wasn't it cute!!

[shellnbre]

That house was cute.Sometimes the smaller the place the harder it is cuz i have so much stuff.Right now i have stuff all over cuz me and bre are doing xmas our tree is already up..7ft prelit.Everytime i pick up she gets something else out...

[froghopper]

that's why i hate getting ready for the holidays...lazy people dread  holidays, because it takes so much work.  i still have my stockings hanging on the fireplace...guess thats just one less thing i have to do this year.

[shellnbre]

I am doing pretty good at keeping this place somewhat clean while getting the xmas stuff up.gonna put pics up when i am done cuz its too hard for everyone to come over and see my place all decorated.I am learning to actually throw stuff away or give it away if i don't really need it..i need a bigger place!!
