Back to the grind...
Vacation ended for me this week. As usual, it felt too short. I love my job, but I could SO love being a lottery winner. I could actually embrace my own sleep cycle instead of forcing myself to adhere to this one.
I have a confession to make. I'm a pack rat. I will be moving to a new office in a week or so and it is ridiculous the stuff that I have in my drawers in my current office. I do mean ridiculous. The sad part is that when it comes time to actually ditch the stuff, I will likely choose to move it instead. Is there a group? Steps? A pill? Something?
I'm not just like that at work. It invades my personal life too. I'm especially pack rattish about any arts and crafts supplies. Left over snippets of paper from scrapbooking get saved (hey-they make good photo corners). Little scraps of fabric get saved (you never know when I'll get a wild hair to make a quilt).
Clean Sweep on TLC is my motivator. If I can watch two or three of those shows, I'm more inclined to throw away things and organize. My house looks nothing like those on the show. They are just unbelievably gross. My stuff is all put away - crammed in closets, drawers, and under bed storage. I protect my dirty little secret well. You could stop by for dinner and never know - just don't hang your coat in the closet.

I'm also a pack rat..a recovering one, or at least I'm trying to be. When I was on maternity leave I watched about three seasons worth of "Clean House" reruns (which is similar to "Clean Sweep", and it really made me embarrassed that if they came to my house they'd think I was just as awful as all those people.
