choas and disorganization

I spend a lot of time feeling frustrated due to the disorganization and messiness of my house and car. I am not super tidy, but I do think life runs a bit more smoothly if things are simple, clean and somewhat chaos free. One area that has suffered from disorganization is my desk. Ever since Justin became mobile he has loved getting in the desk drawers and messing them up. I pretty much gave up keeping the drawers organized and then when the house went on the market a whole new dynamic was added. At a moments notice I would have to spruce, tidy, unclutter and vacate my house. So if something was left out it quickly would get swept into the nearest drawer, closet or cupboard - even if it didn't belong there. And after a quick spruce for a showing on Saturday I become really disgusted with the state of my desk. So all the contents of the drawers got put into a pile on the floor and I went about sorting trash from recycling from supplies, to whatever else you would find in a desk. {Hence the mess on the floor - and that is just form 3 of 7 drawers}! It didn't take long for Justin to loose interest in wathcing Sponge Bob on the computer and try to "help". So I didn't get too far. The kid has a knack of undoing everything I organize. But I did make some progress and hopefully by the end of the week this will be done and I can move onto the next thing that need attention, my purse - it is out of control!
