SOC Sunday

For sometime I have been toying with the idea of participating in Stream of Conciousness Sunday with all.things.fadra. Seeing that I have been a lurker over there for sometime and as I am sitting here reading a few of the linked up posts..I’m giving it a whirl.

 Ready.set.goI need to get organized. Stat. My neighbor is OCD as in diagnosed and everytime her children come over they comment on how junky my house is. I want to say to them your mother has a problem but I can’t, so I won’t. Their mother is a really nice lady but her house makes me feel like a slob. I try to keep my house as clean as possible but the organization…is just non existent

first step is i have decided to paint a chalkboard wall in the kitchen. i figure this will get the refrigerator cleaned off from all of the magnets and useless papers that find their home there and allow me to make sense of all of my weekly engagements. This is killing me. the clutter that is. Its not even that much. I guess what I am really thinking is I need a new house. A bigger one. Then I feel ungrateful. I have a nice house, it just doesn’t have enough room. Or is it my lack of organization that makes it feel like the walls are closing in on me sometimes. I really want a new house.

Now I guess I will jump on the fact that the sorry housing market makes me want a new houe. I don’t like my neighbors. They don’t keep their yards up and they play loud music and they just make me sick. I want to live in one of those neighborhoods where everyone takes care of their lawn and their house. I want to wave at my neighbors and walk the sidewalk pushing my stroller. Instead most days I feel like I am living beneath our means. That sounded shallow but its my thoughts. It is what it is. I’m optimistic though..one day we’ll move and until then I just have to find out how to organize and be happy where I am.
