My family, we have a problem, a serious problem.
Well, we live in a small house, which is not a problem... I can do a 15 min clean-up including a cursory vacuuming job and be pretty happy with the state of things, I always know where folks are (no matter how much they try to hide)... and really it doesn't live very small, I don't often feel cramped... until I do.
You know what makes it a crazy place? Horizontal surfaces. If there is a horizontal surface, we will put crap on it. No surface is safe, any height,size, any frequency of use... someone will put something on it. It is to the point that Brian and I think... wouldn't it be nice to have a little table behind the couch for some plants, or a side table to set down a drink, but we won't. It would look nice but it's too risky, because we know it will be doomed.
It's to that point again, where I look around and feel like we have near complete coverage and that twitching freak-out is coming on... but we have full evenings tonight, tomorrow night, and Friday when I usually clean is also getting full. oh dear.

Cascade and I are contemplating decor in our soon-to-be new house and discussed putting a small table by the stairs then putting spikes on it - like the ones used to deter roosting birds - to keep people from piling stuff on it.
