How DW talks to me.
DW just called me, and I felt this blog post was appropriate considering the recent discussion I had on here.
DW: "I am finishing work early today. I'm going to head straight home and clean up the mess!"
Me: "What mess?"
DW: "Sorry...I meant I am going to go and try to expand that two-feet square clean area we have in our house"

LOL! I have yet to expand the two-square-foot area that is my dining room table. It's been about three years. Where else are we supposed to put all the mail?

I *thought* I had the solution to this. Mail is destined to one of three places A) Filing Cabinet
My work briefcase/or DW's purse C) Recycle bin. Unfortunately, the dining table is still the "mail holding area" before it finaly gets sorted.

Oh, come on…sorry…unless you are a man with OCD, your house will NEVER be clean enough for your wife when you do it…it is as simple as that. There are many issues in a relationship, let this one go. You can in your mind think "this woman is crazy, what a nut" lol but just let it go. It is no different than men who "look at a girl's ass or boobs"…it is just in your genes, nothing you can do about it…

After living with my Mom for 20 years, you would think I would be better prepared for this.
Me: "Dad, why do I have to vacuum UNDER the couch!? The guests that are coming over are not going to check for dirt under there!"
Dad: "No, but your Mom will..."
Me: "Well couldn't you just tell Mom that it doesn't make sense to...."
Dad: "Just shut-up and do it!"
Your dad was a genius!

I have the solution. DH and I bought a dining room sideboard for $600, it is a nice piece of furniture. We placed it in our entry hall. Yup, DH calls it our $600 mail catcher. }:)

Our dining room table is the official mail catcher, our couch is the official "folded children's clothes" repository and our dresser is the official "out-of-reach" zone where we pile up the kid's playdoh, markers, bubble making kit and other toys we can't let the kids play with unsupervised.

I read a tip years ago which is the best "household hint" ever- open the mail over the garbage. Put everything in it's place that you keep. I do this every night when I get home from work. I don't shred- I rip and throw coffee grounds on it.
Sometimes I debate whether it
Sometimes I debate whether it would be worse to shred the mail regularly or just risk having my identity stolen.

All mail comes to me, gets opened, filed, placed on the calendar (bills) or in the kindling pile for fires to come.
