We have SO MUCH clutter. Ugh!!! Keys, papers, pens, doodads, doohickeys, thingamabobs… my new kitchen is starting to look like a tornado hit it! We’re still in the process of taking things out of storage and boxes, and finding places for everything. Today we went on a wild goose chase for the turkey roasting pan. It was buried in boxes, under the garage. My daughter had to go diving for it, behind the freezer amongst the books and boxes and styrofoam. :S
So anyway. Clutter. I still don’t have my little phone and Internet station yet. All these small projects take a lot of time! You wouldn’t think so, but today I got the following little projects done:
Scraped the old caulk and re-caulked the floor where it meets the tub (to prevent leaks through the floor from overly exuberant bathers)
Drilled a coat hook in place
PICKED UP THE HOUSE for the 100th time
Cleaned Livvy’s food area (she’s such a slob)
Searched for my turkey roasting pan
Cooked dinner
Wrote articles and tweets
Deposited money in my account (best thing I did all day)
Went shopping for coffee creamer, bananas, etc
Went to home improvement store to get shelf materials
Made goals for kids’ school week
Folded laundry
Made phone calls
Scored kids’ schoolwork
And that’s the stuff I can remember!
Anyway, because I am so busy all the time, doing a million different jobs, it is imperative that I be organized. If things start to become unraveled, my projects become unraveled. And right now, the kitchen organization area is a disaster. Hats, gloves, keys mail, pens… UGH! I have been mulling over a solution, and I think I finally found it. 
An organizer. These things are neat! I spotted a nice one at the department store today, but my eyes popped out at the price. $50! Holy cow! That’s extortion for a cardboard wall-mounted organizer! I went home and promptly searched for a sale at Buy.com. This is a very nice one. It’s a Gadget Smarts Faux Leather Personal Charging Stand. My husband is always forgetting to charge his phone. I had a place for him to charge it, but we moved it because we have to fit the heater in that area. I must make sure his work gear (pen, ID badge, keys, phone, baseball hat) are all perfectly organized, or he just throws his stuff on the kitchen counter. And I hate things on the kitchen counter! So I think this organizer will do very nicely. Kudos once again to Buy.com!!!
