six feet of rubbish
first of all... for those of you who guessed my age... I am twenty seven.
Life over here at our house could seem a little chaotic to some folks. When you enter through the front door you immediately see lots of bright colored fun looking things... most of which are dahlias.There is the stroller... oh wait make that two strollers, two carseats, a bouncer, a swing, a play matt, a changing pad and then a stack of clean diapers as well as dirty ones... (ok not dirty ones) and of course a heap of emergency clothes and birp clothes for when she makes the unexpected expected upchuck(= but it seems that whenever I decide to clean up some of it to make more room for other stuff.... I end up running around trying to find things. If I would just leave them out in the open I wouldn't forget where they are.
Then there is the kitchen table. I really shouldn't refer to it as the kitchen table, its really a craft table... but it is in the kitchen afterall. well lets see, I have at least three projects going on at any given time.... from sewing, painting, decopauging, scrapbooking... its really quite the mess! but if all that stuff wasn't out on the "craft" table... I would spend the fifteen minutes that I have at one time looking for it, but not have actual time to create anything. do you see?
Now some people might be thinking why don't I have a shelf to put this stuff on close by... well we do but it is full of other junk!! you see justin and I are both junk feens. If someone mentions they don't need something anymore or ask if we want it... we take it! and we never want to get rid of it cuz what if we could use it someday.... what if the day we throw it out, there is a use for it? we don't go to garage sales.. other people go for us! so all our cup-boards and closets are filled to the brim with other people rejects! so naturally we cannot open them for fear that our lives will be taken by the six feet of rubbish!

If it makes you feel any better, I am the same way. Why put something away when you're just going to need it again or can't find something that you knew right where it was before!
