stepping in here lightly...cuz i am an organization freak. color coded closets....i admit it..i'm weird, but whe i was a single mom it saved me countless hours of getting myself and kids ready.

would it help mari if someone else decided for you where the "right" place is and then you just put stuff back?

my youngest daughter..lil'monkey...is extremly creative and artistic. but there is no way she can organize anything by herself. if i do it for her, it makes it easy for her to put stuff away without having to think about it. otherwise...hours and hours to even sort her school binder.

there isn't enough hours on weekend to clean her room with any type of organization on her own. then we have disaster the next week, because she doesn't have a clue where anything is.

i do know how overwelming this is.
