Jodi, I think you’ve got a keeper and a gem – someone to pick up your piles! Come on! That’d be a dream come true… I suppose though if he’s bugged by the mess and you’re bugged by the tidiness, the conflict could be … messy!

I think making a mess is cathartic, but then when things ARE cleaned up, that's cathartic too... which reminds me...I was sorting clothes this morning and I think the containers are still all over the bed. Unless hubby cleaned up THAT mess.... tee hee! :-) Mess is my middle name–and what really bugs me is my dearly beloved trying to cleanup the mess while I’m still weeding/making supper/potting plants/baking muffins…it seems ridiculous to me to get cleaned up before the messmaking is finished.

I only have a balcony so making any mess it's very hard to sweep it all up. Normally I just sweep it over the edge when I don't have much but I'm sure my downstairs neighbors dont like that. To me the funnest part is making the mess and so not cleaning it up. I would like messes to clean themselves. I wish I had an area to make miss in.

If you add a dirt-streaked face and twigs in your hair. Oh, and ground-in dirt on my feet where soil slipped into my garden clogs. When you look like that, you know you've gotten a lot of good stuff done. That last picture is pretty much how I look after a day of gardening. If you add a dirt-streaked face and twigs in your hair.
