Today's wish: I wish a little cleaning/organization fairy would bestow her knowledge and motivation on me.
Notice, I didn't say "come clean and organize my home for me". I get much more satisfaction and appreciation if I do it myself. What I want is her knowledge. I want that basic instinctual reaction of "a place for everything, and everything in it's place". Oh how happy I would be if that motto could manifest itself in my home.
The second part of the wish is motivation. Do you ever have those days when you start cleaning, and you physically can't stop until every blind is dusted, and every crack has been run through with a toothpick? I have. But who has the time to clean that thoroughly as often as it needs it? Ok, I'll be honest, I probably haven't had as many of those obsessive deep cleaning days in my life as I should. I am not a dirty person, but clutter seems to be mortal enemy. I would like to have the motivation to perform one of those deep cleaning sessions once a week. However, if I had that motivation, my home probably wouldn't need to be deep cleaned quite as often.
As I sit here typing away about wishing for organization, I am looking around my living room / office / dining room on the verge of screaming! Oh little fairy... Where are you?
