My 14 week challenge did NOT go as planned. But guess what. One room has since been clean and orgnanized. Sure. We have the occasional spill of dirty clothes on the floor. Or a pile of toys. But nothing permanent. When I tell the boys to clean up their room, it is done fast. I barely get any whining either. Becasue it is easy and fast. All their things have a place to go. It still needs a few improvements but I have a clear plan of how to fix it the little glitches.
It took me weeks to acknowledge it, but obviously the 14 week challenge has brought positive results. I do feel better about it now. Even if it was just 1 room.
Realizing I was a hoarder was both a shock and a relief. A shock, because nobody wants to have a mental disorder. A relief, because my situation finally had a name. I found people who could relate. Knowing the problem helps solving it. I can step aside and look at the situation from a more neutral point of view. Why am I blogging about it? 2 reasons. 1. Putting my thoughts into words helps me think more clearly. 2. If this helps just one, who is like me, see the light it was more than worth it!
