Is it too early to start spring cleaning? My husband has been on my case for the last 3 days about the clutter in the house, but mainly in our joint home office. It is hard when you share an office with a person who has a totally different style of storing papers, important documents and reference books ect. I will begrudgingly admitt that I have been known to be a pack rat, but on the flipside he saves nothing!...... And when I say NOTHING, I mean even the records that you are supposed to keep for five years (or whatever the rule is in case the IRS wants to audit you) gets tossed in the garbage, unless I am standing in the room and scream "don't throw that away"!
So come on let's compromise with this. I like horizontal filing systems that are open so that I can see my papers; because we all know that I am not a spring chicken and if I can't see it.... I forget about it and that does include bills that have to be paid. He likes enclosed filing cabinets that have folders to keep everthing separated. In a perfect world we would have 2 offices, a his and a hers, but in the cozy little house we share there is only 1 room to be claimed as an office. So I guess that we will have to come to a compromise after all.
So if any of you out there have been in this pickle....feel free to weigh in on the sticky subject.....cause I will need any support I can get!
