[QUOTE="keista, post: 462380, member: 11965"] I take a deep breath, make my apologies, and then just learn to live with it. Two weeks ago I had DD1's new insurance case manager (crisis intervention specialist is the official title even though she doesn't even know why?) for her intake meeting. I tidied up the living and dining room, and did the basic cleaning of the living room, dining room, and one bathroom (just in case she needed it). For what the kids and I are used to, it was VERY tidy, but there were plenty of "clutter corners" plus the unmistakeable presence of my inventory (I work from home) EVERYWHERE. DD1 "ratted" me out before we got to the part of the interview discussing her chores, at which point I usually explain the difficulties [B]I[/B] have on a daily basis with chronic disorganization and hoarding. YES, today was considered clean, and when expecting ppl I do my best to tidy up, but it is a daily struggle. Most ppl offer up excuses for me - single mom, 3 difficult children, working AND keeping up with inside AND outside of house AND I'm not naturally a good housekeeper. Since I'm not growing "science experiments" and the house is fully functional, most professionals are OK with it. I still dream of having my house to Martha Stewart standards, and dreaming is essential and good, but will settle for never being bad enough to get on one of those Hoarder shows. [/QUOTE]
