The first step is admitting you have a problem

Hi, my name is Ordinary Idiot and I have a problem.

I actually have several. But the one I'm discussing now is my small cleaning supply/organizational supply problem. I'm not sure why - but I LOVE files, notepads, small baskets, big baskets, rubbermaid bins, a place for everything and everything in its place. And spray bottles, scrub brushes, mops, dusters, disinfectants, grease cutters, bleach and vacuums. You would think with all this that my house would be clutter free and a place that germs and dust FEARED. The mommy germs would tuck the smaller germs in at night and tell them stories of the HORROR that would await them should they venture into the house of Ordinary Idiot.

However, the real story is a bit different, my house is neat enough although with two kids "clutter-free" is dream. Its also clean enough but I still continue to covet the newest organizational tools and cleaners. Last night I ventured into the new Bed Bath and Beyond in my fantastic suburb and was like an addict on a high. So much organizational goodness. Racks for purses, shoes, zip bins for clothes, shelves, hangers, baskets, bins, drawer organizers. . .Did you know they make thingies that expand to any size drawer and forms multiple tiny diamond shape compartments so that you can put socks, ties, whatever in an individualized hole? Is that not the most awesomest thing you've heard in a while? And washable microfiber dusters - kind of like a swiffer - but reusable! SWEET! So I was there to buy a few things for a friend that another friend and I were helping organize a closet. And I found lots that I wanted. But the biggest thing I discovered that I wanted - I found at my friends house. A label maker. It was her husband's and I was GIDDY with the idea of using it. I labeled tons of stuff and, and, and. . .a place for everything and everything in its place!!!! So, now I want a label maker.

This label maker to be precise . Isn't it amazing? Wouldn't you love to have all sorts of things labeled in your house? Your pantry? Your computer desk drawers? Your sewing box? Your rubbermaid bins smushed in your basement?

No? Well you are just crazy. I bet you don't want one of these either.
