Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

The Clean Up Game

September 12, 2019

As I’m reading yet another blog post to inspire me to get going in the get-your-house-together direction, I remembered a game that my brother (or maybe just me) played that was actually kind of fun. Fade back in time to the 1970’s when we lived in London. England.

Every once in awhile my younger brother and I would be playing pretty intensely and to end the game I decided to just toss everything into the middle of the room since the room was already a big mess anyway. Then, I’d clean it all up (I don’t think he helped). I enjoyed the process of putting everything back into order and have a clean room. I felt such a sense of accomplishment.

So, I was thinking about this “game” today and wondering – maybe I should do that again. Throw everything in the middle of the room and then sort through it and put it all back. Oh wait – isn’t that the Konmari method? Hehe – maybe younger me was just ahead of my time. :-)

When I throw stuff in the middle of the room, I usually get disheartened about how bad it actually is and then go do something else... without actually cleaning up the mess :|

Oops - sorry about a late reply. Yeah - I get that. Usually that's how the house was when you kids were little. :-P
