Save me from Myself

Last night, I turned on the tele for a little brain freeze as I crawled into bed. Bestill my beating heart - HGTV is starting a reality show in the fall called "Neat". The show premise sees a "professional organizer" hmmmm come into a house and declutter and organize the whole thing. Right down to labelled pantry shelves.

I think Todd was talking during the intro commercial for the program but I was zoned. For someone like me -who would use the Dewy decimal system if it were not for the little people that I live with - this program looks like a little piece of nirvana. A calm oasis in the chaos of life.

Funny thing that "organization". The individuals involved in the organizing always look at it like a feat they have accomplished, akin to swimming with sharks or climbing Mount Everest. For the others involved (namely my spouse), the challenge of de-organizing looms. He claims I rebel against authority; he rebels against organization.

While I can't find any links to the show on the site yet, I did stumble across this which could minimize the impact of the little people. Is it really possible to enlist youngsters into the obsession?
