Bobert and others,

I here ya, my wife is the same way. Between her many types of crafty stuff and Girl Scout/Leader stuff the whole house is a wreck. The living room woodstove hearth is this hugh storage corner right now. (Gee with this cold spell using it would be a plan.) She has all these empty plastic cases with lids that she bought to get organized and has never used them effectively. I've added many shelves to several closets to help the cause. How can she mess up the entire house?, I don't get it. She blames not having enough time because of working 40 to 45 hours a week and a fairly long drive, Girl Scout training and activities and many other excusses. She keeps asking for a big room of her own (You have the garage for you toys!) so she can have all her stuff in one place. Well, we ain't got that. When the kids and I get pissed enough we just box all her stuff up and shoot for one big pile. Honey!, you been packed up and moved out. Boy do I catch hell for that. I can't throw things away because she'll just go out and buy more. Hell, I do most of the cooking, most of the laundry, most of the cleaning, all the vacuuming, my son washes the dishes, trash and recycles for his weekly pay. Geeese!

OK, so when she is cleaning and organizing an area, the first thing that she finds that is mine or the kids she says "see, see, it's not all me". No dear, just 95.8%. Make mine and the kids small piles and we'll take care of it, period.

There is this big pile of stuff in the bedroom corner and along the wall. She says "Well I can't get to it, there's A guitar in the way." Honey, It's MOVEABLE!

Rant! Rant! Ahh! Breathe, Breathe.......Calm down Roy!
