Does this mean the address is no longer valid? Is there any other way to register for the forums?

This is a wonderful site, it makes me feel like I am connected with friends who would not judge me. My fella and I have been “renovating” for 10 years and right now I don’t even have a bathroom. We are washing in the laundry while standing in a baby’s bath. I can’t get near my piano because of the storage boxes full of bathroom stuff and I can’t find a specific utensil in the kitchen because everything is stuffed under a work bench. For years I have been cooking with only a micro-wave and an electic fry pan but we can still have some fun dinners with family.
Friends are another matter. I haven’t had any mates in our house for years, it’s horrible. I owe so many dinners but I can’t bring myself to invite anyone into the mess. I’ll try the emergency clean tomorrow, fingers crossed that it makes me feel less of a pig. cheers

I knew this site was for me when i read “this is important! Don’t stop to read or play with anything you find…”
So happy to find so many others like me! its reassuring. and its motivating, i’m going to tackle the laundry monster right now, and do an emergency clean sweep to get me started.
i have a friend who has a trick that works for her, after she’s cleaned the place up, she maintains it by setting the timer for 15 minutes every day, and going gung ho.
K, hang in there. you’re not alone.

Hello to all,
My energy is high for life but not for keeping my house in order. I am in dire assistance of using this energy to organize my house and in return, my life. I feel if I could overcome my inability to keep things tidy, clean, and in order, I could give back to this world by being a more productive citizen, leader, employee, and most importantly a Mother who has is together. Additionally, a partner in a relationship.

Currently, I am a single parent of two, divorced twice, a nontraditional college student at age 41, and have a low level of follow-through. I believe if I could utilize my broad and multi-talents to assist in a career that would benefit many of the same type of individuals as me.

When a system/process is absent from one’s daily life, life tends to be very chaotic and filled with high level of stress. This is what I seem to live every day. Over the years, I have created a lot of aggravation, stress, and anxiety in my life as for others as well.

One of my many struggles in life is failing to be on time. This is something that I have tried my whole life to overcome. It makes me look bad and creates a perception that is filled with disrespect and inconsiderate feelings towards me. As I recall many years back, my step mother got very upset at me for being late to meet my Father and her. I had never seen her so upset, especially at me.

Somehow some way, these issues have been a lingering thought process for me in the last 20 years in which I am ready now to embark on a journey to elevate the above issues in my life. Additionally, I have seen a pattern in my two kids as well. That disturbes me.

In regards to seeking a lifetime partner, I have difficulty understanding how a man could have tolerance with the way I live my life. I just recently read how if one is thinking about engaging in a meaningful relationship, there has to be somewhat of a sign in their home to attract it. For example, the bedroom should look as if there could be two people who share this space and certainly needs to appear inviting as well. Unfortunately, my bedroom is usually a mess. In fact, sometimes I get depressed just by entering into my room.

The kitchen and bathroom is usually thought of as being a germ-free environment as a whole. However, in my case, this does not hold true. I know both should be clean, but for some reason I fail to do something about it. This is the mentality that cripples me in my everyday life. My kitchen depresses me as well as my bathroom.

As far as my car, uhhhhh…that too is embarrassing as well. I find myself not wanting anyone to know what car I drive due to it always being in disarray. They say appearance of one’s car is a sign of how they live their live in addition to how their house looks. Can you agree with that notion?

My basement is always a mess. Doing laundry is sometimes avoided for that reason. I always hope that no one is peeking in the windows for my fears of them finding out that I am a disorganized and messy person.

What I need, desire, and require, is a system/process that will teach me to stay on track and live a happier life. Being organized I believe will create many avenues in my life of success, joy, and positive opportunities for my future. I know this is possible, but need a kick start and solid support to overcome this dilemma.

Thank you so kindly for taking the time to read my story. Everyone has a story just waiting to be told and most importantly, to be heard.

Blessings to all of you in your journey of getting your lives together and living a joyful, happy, and fruitful life.

Sincerely,

Desperate K
