Lisa, I'm laughing about the coat thing because my husband does the EXACT same thing! He'll have a coat draped over every one of the six dining chairs if I don't put them away.

Janet, I do the coat thing too (hangs head in shame).

unfrumped, oh good grief YES. But I'm trying. I don't want to model bad behaviour for my kids! My my natural inclination is to leave everything out everywhere, and then be all in a flap at the end of the week because there is chaos.

One time, years ago, my husband sat down in a pile of my discarded clothes and said "Look! I'm Elisabeth! I'm making a nest!". Ha ha pfffthtttt.

lisap part of my drop- itis includes sometimes leaving jacket on back of chair! So I've been trying to remember to put things back as I go along so as not to have a heap left on theceeekend.
