Drowning in paper

Ugh. Maybe this is a continuation of my overwhelmed feeling from last night. But as I look around my house - not even all of my house, mind you, but just the main living area - this is what I see....

It's hard to type like this.

Kitchen table. Not so bad, but still....

Nightstand beside my bed. Mostly library books, with other paper jammed in between.

I swear, I have got to get myself organized. I'm doing better, but obviously not stellar at this point. Too many things on my plate.

And you would think that with the shredder *and* the filing cabinet sitting right here beside me as I type, that I would be able to at least keep my desk clean. But can I?

Nooooooooooooooo..........

So I just spent the last 20 minutes or so going through all of the papers on my desk and on the kitchen table. Most of it was that whole Beginning Of The School Year crap - menus, guidelines, schedules, etc. All of the pertinent info was transferred into my datebooks and the menus were hung on the bulletin board. Stuff that needed to be filed was filed and other stuff went into the shredder.

However, there are some things that just don't have a place.

Hey, maybe I could put it on ebay - it is still New In Package, after all......


Between that little gem and the 3 (yes, THREE) containers of deoderant on top of my filing cabinet, I have to wonder just where all of the stuff comes from......

Just out of curiosity, what's the most bizarre thing on your desk right now? I'd love to hear.....if only to make me feel more normal.

  1. The most bizarre thing on my desk? It's a toss-up. Maybe the frog that is missing one leg, and has the other leg taped on with pink and black zebra striped duct tape, or the monkey, or the dinosaur squirt bottle.

  3. Woman please, this is nothing! Come to my house and I'll show you a huge mess of paper and other crap. The most bizarre thing on my desk right now is a little plastic pig with his mouth open. I'm not even sure where it came from since it's tiny and my son doesn't play with tiny toys as he's only 17 months. Weird. Ha!

  4. This is nowhere near as bad as it has been in the past, but after all of the pre-vacation cleaning that I did, it just irritates me. This place shouldn't be that messy - not that I'm a neat freak or anything - far from it, actually. But I've been making a conscious effort at trying to keep things cleaner around here.

I have only two rules - don't reveal anyone's personal information, and be respectful. It's not difficult, honest. Now, go on and play.
