I'm really sorry about your losses! I think cheerfuldom gave you some great advice and I don't really have more to say besides a virtual *hug.*

I wish I could go to your house and do an organization makeover . Keep us posted!

When I feel overwhelmed by my daycare "stuff" I rearrange the play room. I also make sure to have one room in my home that is a no daycare toy area, and I keep that area very clean. I am learning to accept that I cannot walk behind the kids and pick up after them all day. I have a glass kitchen table, and I used to Windex it 10 times a day. I always had to pick everything up every 30 minutes and have it be clean. It was hard at first, but I accepted that the house is not going to look how I want it to look until the work day is done. And then I put the toys away from sight.

I hope this helps. I know it is very difficult to feel like your house is being taken over, especially if you have a diagnosed OCD issue.

I wish you could too !! And thanks for your condolences and for the "hug" I am just not a good organzier and that seems to be a big issue for me. I was just not blessed with that talent :\

Hugs!! I am a bit OCD myself and honestly, there is nothing wrong with seeking professional help for it. With the right help, you can learn how to "use" your OCD tendencies to create an awesome daycare environment!

Acknowledging the problem is a HUGE step. Learning how to turn all this nervous energy into productive energy is the next one.

Shelves in a closet work well or if you have a place in the garage would work too!

Thank you, I hope to get everything worked out soon..I really do love my job, I am just so over whemled with lack of space. I would love to have a garage, but don't have that...So Im really going to sweet talk him for some shelves
