Results: How organized do you like your home? Is it neat and tidy? Is it like a show home or is it more bohemian? Does everything have its place or is it cluttered?
Published on 03/10/2023
Some people tidy up if guests are coming and some are "guest ready" at all times. Some people get ready the night before and some scramble on the day of the event. Some tidy as they go and some cramchores into a specific day. Some couples are on the same wave length regarding running the house and some are poles apart. How is your home? How would you like it to be? This is a fun survey?

In your home is there a place for everything and is everything in its place?
We never lose our keys or phones because we always put them in a specific place where we can find them. We usually leave at the time we plan to.

We have places to put things but don't always put them there. We sometimes have to look in 2 or 3 places to find our keys or other items. We are sometimes late leaving for events which can make them less enjoyable. .

We tend to put things wherever there is a place to put them. We regularly misplace items, usually when we are in a rush to go somewhere. We are usually late leaving and this can cause arguments before we even get there.

What about planning for vacations or other trips. Do you plan ahead, prepare ahead and are you ready with time to spare or.......?
I am ready in plenty of time. I wish everyone else in our house was.

We could have been the inspiration for a "Home Alone" movie. The only one ready on time is our dog (or other pet).

What about when you get back home from vacation or from a trip? Are you typically relaxed when you get back to "Home Sweet Home" and unpack your things or are you so stressed out from the trip and the messy house you come back to that it is days before you unpack?
It is chaos on the way there and chaos on the way back. We avoid vacations.
