31 Days-It’s A Hot Mess

I have decided to participate in the 31 Days series Nester style and because my friend Jules (the 31 Day master) applied blogger peer pressure.

Y’all better buckle up because you are in for it, I’m blogging for 31 days straight, the whole month of October. This is going to go very, very well or make me set my computer on fire while drinking all the wine (I will probably drink all the wine either way).

I had to come up with something that will make ~~the world a kinder place~~ me not so yelly, so after giving it approximately 45 seconds of thought on what needs to change around here, I’m committing to straightening this joint up one day and one mess at a time.

I’m not talking about dirty toilets, I’m talking about that big pile of b.s. in our office that has been there for a year. 12 freaking months. If posting and shaming myself in front of the internet won’t motivate me, I don’t know what will. And hopefully at the end of the 31 days, our house and our lives will be a bit better off than it was before, well, than it was today. There will be no to do list because lists freak me out and this bird you can not change, Lynyrd Skynard told me so.

Let’s do this.

P.S. Jeff just said, “31 days? What if you run out of messes?” That’s so cute, it’s like he’s new here or something.

Ooh you mean like last October when it was flooding in Bangkok, so I moved everything upstairs so it wouldn’t get ruined? And it’s still there? There is a couch in my bedroom that has been there for 11-1/2 months. There are also four garbage bags full of drapes on the other side of that couch that don’t even belong to my family!

If my friends in the computer are doing it, I can, too!

I love it! We all have those stacks and piles and boxes of things we haven’t looked through in forever. My eyes just ignore it, until my in-laws make plans to visit. Good luck on your 31 Days challenge! Let’s hope it doesn’t kill us!

Ooooh, this sounds serious! I’m thinking that maybe we need before and after pictures,too!

I could really make a dent in my clutter if I did something about it for 31 straight days. For now, though, I’ll just be content to reading about your 31 days. That’s *almost* the same thing, right? –Lisa

I was ‘parusing’ the hundreds of buttons on the 31 Days series and your blog name stood out to me – hello from a fellow Colorado momma/blogger. I love your sense of humor – looking forward to your posts this month!

Hah! Jeff is cute. My husband has a similar blind eye. I’m so excited I roped you into doing this with me! Misery enjoys company, you know.

Just have to add because Lisa was clearly too shy (BWAH!) that we outed our mess right on the internet. Seems like you should do the same, right?!
Read it and weep sister. And then come help us clean…for 31 straight days…wine is on us!

“Like he’s new here…” Haha. Sometimes I think the same thing about my own husband.
