My junk is procreating

As I wander about the house, I notice small things that need attention.  The drawer that I shove all my junk that I don't know what to do with, or "will deal with later".  The laundry room that is always in chaos.  My beautiful dining room that has been overtaken by a small aircraft.  The den that has never been clean the entire time we have lived here even though I clean it all the time.  The cupboard that doesn't close because it is too full.  The bathroom tap that runs too hot.  The list goes on forever.

I clean the usual, the bathrooms, do the vacuuming, dust, wipe counters....but the house is never really tidy.  I get rid of junk, I took a whole truckload to Value Village last weekend.  I recycle, I never say no to charities that need household items and unwanted clothing.  So why is there always junk, and more junk?  Is my junk having babies and they just scatter themselves around my house trying not to be noticed?

I'm not even shopping all that much.  I have had to buy all new clothes- sadly mine were all too big.  But I get rid of the big clothes, I don't keep them!

I don't want to get rid of everything, I like a lot of my stuff.  There's plenty to look at in my house.  But all the stuff I don't want, I swear I get rid of it!  Does it come back while I'm not looking???

I found out last night that I had no plans for today, that is exceptionally rare.  I plan to do a lot of little things that will hopefully make a big impact on the house.  I've already cleaned the laundry room and fixed the tap that was too hot.  I did the drawer yesterday while the Telus guys were adding to my TV and internet system.

Some days I feel like an unintentional hoarder.  An unwilling one....maybe.

I do know that I put stuff away, find it a home that works, but it always works itself back to where I don't want it.  I might have to start gluing things down!

First I have to take care of the updating of electronics - they aren't junk, but they sure take up a lot of time.  Hopefully I will make a small impact today, and maybe that will make me feel less like I am falling behind.
