I hate clutter, I hate mess and I hate tangled wires.  I am not sure where my very strong opinions come from but I suspect they have something to do with my mother.  While she was certainly a great mother, she was not the most organized mother.  I was always a little embarrassed when friends would come over and they’d see how messy she kept the house.  She swore that she knew exactly where everything was in the mess and it was only when things got clean that things got lost.  My bedroom was an oasis in the chaos for me – everything labeled, everything had a place.  And not much has changed in the past twenty years since I left home.  My kids probably will have chaotic homes out of spite towards me but that is their problem, not mine.  And as long as they are under my roof, everything will be put away in an organized fashion.  Speaking of fashion, my daughter has decided that she wants to be a hairdresser or something because she has about twenty curling irons that she keeps around the house.  I may be exaggerating with the amount but it certainly seems that way when she leaves them willy nilly on the counters in the bathroom.  She claims she has to leave them out so that they can cool down and not burn the house down, which I appreciate but I can’t take the clutter.  So I finally got her a few curling irons holders that mount inside the cabinet doors under the sink.  What a relief when those were finally installed!  My daughter and I are on speaking terms again.  My mother and I?  We speak but she just doesn’t understand.
