A Hoarding Intervention

This weekend was full of cleaning and organizing. Jake had a honey-do list a mile long and for the majority of Saturday I was busy digging myself out of some crazy clutter that had piled up. I've been sick for the past few days and with the rush of the holidays (excuses excuses) our house has been looking a little less than tidy.  When things aren't organized I start to go a little cray-cray, so this weekend was necessary for my sanity.

I could no longer find my computer on my desk. Our linen closet was shoved full of everything that I didn't feel like finding a place for. It was time for an intervention. I posted some pics, not only to show you the real side of my life, but also to have you all keep me accountable. One day it's a messy desk - and the next we're buried in 15 years of newspapers with stray cats running around our house. Does anyone else get anxiety watching Hoarders? Don't even get me started on animal hoarders.

Aaaah, sanity has been restored.

Speaking of hoarders, this video made me laugh - in my opinion, this is a completely acceptable form of hoarding ;)
