I'm suffering from a disorder known as TMS

[Maddy McCall]

Anyone else have it? Too Much Shit.

I am about to get a garbage bag and clean house. Anything that is not a necessity, that does not contribute in some way to the functioning of this household, that I do not find exceedingly aesthetically appealing, is about to find its way into the garbage bag.

1. www.flylady.net (eom)

:hi:

6. I did that once..

It worked great until I started feeling badgered by all their constant email reminders. I ended up setting them to spam.

Now I sit here happily buried under my mountain of un-filed paperwork. Ahhh, no stress. If only I could remember what pile last quarters tax info is in...

[Lefta Dissenter]

11. You know, you CAN do flylady

without the reminders. I set up my control journal, and only use it when I get off track. I am NOT religious about it, but at least my household is under control now, and I don't vomit in horror if someone drops by unexpectedly.

[Maddy McCall]

15. I'm checking that out right now.

Thanks!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

23. I didn't know about the control journal...

I'm going to check it out again. I too would like to not "vomit in horror" at the unexpected guest. I loved that mental image by the way, it is so fitting! :)

2. I take it that you mean that I have to leave then??

[Maddy McCall]

3. No. I find you aesthetically appealing. :-)

4. I am with you

I slid on a magazine today because I didn't want to toss it out because it was new. I had no other place to put it and I laid it next to my rocking chair and I pulled my back out.

You know when it's time to clean your place is when you slid on something that shouldn't be laying around on the floor.

I am thinking about paying someone $50.00 bucks to clean my apartment. :hug:

5. I have BOTH TMSs ...

Too much shit AND temperomandibular syndrome! :)

7. I'm recovering from TMS

In the last few weeks I've disposed of

a couch
a love seat
an easy chair
a truckload of boxes (literally)
a chest
about 200 lbs of books

[Maddy McCall]

8. Ouch! Books??? You WERE serious about recovery, weren't you!

I can get rid of anything, but not the books! Nooooo!! :-)

[sangh0]

25. Mostly old computer books

I don't I'll be needing those books on VB3 and "Windows 3.1 for Dummies"

9. When in doubt, throw it out.

[laheina]

12. That's my new motto.

Unless it's a book or sports equipment. I tend to be obsessively organized, but those two categories still cause me problems.

10. Currently no TMS here,

but I think I might have a minor case of TMJ.

[goodboy]

13. you clean like I do. Except at work, I don't throw anything away.

papers pile up on my desk, then I put them in a box without ever going through them, and put them in the back of my store. Should I get a personal assistant?

[Maddy McCall]

14. I always HATE getting started...

I know that I'm going to have to make decisions about what to keep and what to throw out. :grr:

[goodboy]

16. so the only solution, is to never, ever throw anything out....or I guess

throw it all out like you're doing. Do you ever find yourself looking at something you haven't seen forever and realize that 15 minutes have gone by and you haven't moved?

[Maddy McCall]

17. OMG! YES!!

I do that! I thought I was the only one!

LOL!!

[goodboy]

18. ahh! Have you ever found yourself in a room...and not know why you're

there?

[Maddy McCall]

19. Many times!

And then I just start piddling with something in that room...

I think I'm ADD. :-)

[goodboy]

20. george carlin once went through a litany of things like that

for instance. have you ever looked at your watch...then looked at it again...and then once more, and still not know what time it was?


ME TOO!

[yellowdogintexas]

21. no, just a filing system

(said the woman who tossed a grocery sack full of junk paper today)

One of the best things I ever did for myself was start banking on line!
I open the bill when it comes, pay it with a send date and toss the bill. I LOVE IT

[yellowdogintexas]

22. I think I have been in a PTSS mode since the election

That combined with the following:
my mom died, my job went away, and my hubby is working in Wyoming

has made me just not interested in my house very much.

so I started doing just a little bit today, cleaned off my desk and threw away a bunch of junk paper. (where does it all come from?)

Christmas is coming so I want to have things in order before the decorations go up. That is my main incentive, that and the fact that I want to have my husband's family over while he is home from Wyoming sometime during the holidays.

Sounds like a sub support group may be in order here

24. I suffer from NES.

Not Enough Shit.
