I really enjoy looking at photos of “how to get organize” sites and read the various blogs or hear about the books, but for the most part….I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m just not one of those people who can be organized.

The house is well kept and for the most part, its more of a matter of maintaining….wipe the counters, vacuum, dust, get the laundry done, but thankfully, not to the extreme that the place requires a deep cleaning, except, maybe, just maybe every two weeks or more….or company comes over.

I’ve tried organizing around the home….the shelves where the towels are kept, the junk drawer, where things go to their final resting place, if no longer needed or its better half is missing, but me and organizing just don’t happen.

I could float several theories why, but I think for the most part, we’re too busy living life, to really stop and “organize” and maybe its just me, but sometimes, I think we can do too much that, yes, the house is picture perfect and everything has a place, but can it be too much that, we end up not being laidback and forgetting the big picture of things.

On one hand, it would be nice to know where the white thread has gone missing, since its not in the sewing basket, like its suppose to and to zero in on the pair of black shoes I need, instead of digging through a pile of everyone’s shoes, but at the same time, I find that even if we had everything in its place…when life starts to happen, well..things gravitate everywhere, but where they are suppose to be.

Even my dayplanner, yes I carry a dayplanner still, reflects that, where instead of everything so neat and tidy, and placed behind a divider, instead is a jumble mess, with paper sticking out everywhere, postcards I received stuck in odd places and sticky notes, now decorating the inside of the dayplanner.

Maybe I’m just way too laidback?

I know at the end of the day, when everyone is tired, we’ve had dinner and we are sitting together as a family on the couch, maybe watching a movie together, what reminds me, of what is important, isn’t,”Okay…did everyone put their stuff where its suppose to and why did hubby leave his backpack laying on the counter”?

What is important for us, is at the end of the day, we are together as a family and what we remember and what are doing, is spending this time, laughing, joking and just being together, because eventually, the kids will grow older and be out on their own and this is times that can’t be taken back….So I’m laidback and no matter what I read, see or try to do, I’m far from being organized, but that’s okay….its not about what I have that is of value, but the love of our Father in Heaven, the strength and together of the family I have….those are the things that at the end of the day that matter’s the most…

Now….if I can only remember where I last saw that pen?
