My room is trashed. No joke. I have clothes EVERYWHERE!! I have things EVERYWHERE!! And my mom has a problem with it. A huge problem with it. Like she actually thinks less of me because of it….

Here’s the catch..I hate it too.
But there is not much I can do about it.
The last house we lived in I had two closets. Not walk in closets but the ones with double sliding doors. One closet had 4-5 huge shelves and a bar to hang things. The other had 4-5 huge shelves and place underneath for all my shoes. My room was clean.

We moved to another state and we were in an apartment for awhile.
I had a fairly nice sized walk in closet there. My room was fairly clean and my closet was as well. I even had my clothes organized by size like it went, skirts, shorts, capris etc. And it colors went from light to dark and my denim was organized from light wash to dark wash jeans.
(I had mono and got bored…)

Now, this rental house we are living in is small. My closet is smal and doesn’t even deserve the term closet, more like a stupid little space thats worth nothing. So in this rental house I have this stupid little space that’s worth nothing.

I can’t build shelves into it.(Its not our house.)
I can’t build lots of drawers.(They cost money.)
I can’t fit EVERYTHING that should be in there, in there.( I am not Kim Possible.)

I’ve asked my mom to buy me some plastic drawers from walmart. She says she won’t because she doesn’t have the money and then added that its her money and she’ll spend it on drawers for me that she wants to buy.

I would have to get rid of 3/4 of my clothes to be able to get it all in my closet. (Not an option, I wear my clothes…) I do plan on putting my winter clothes into the basement and going through everything AGAIN to see if I am going to keep it.

I need some more shelves. Like something from wal-mart or target. I need a shoe organizer.
Most importantly I need my mom’s help. I need her to help me get this organized so I can manage it and keep it clean. She even made a business out of this sorta of thing once. She could help her best friend and complete strangers but not me. She always has an excuse as to why she can’t.

I need answers.
I need a solution.
I need advice.
And she thinks that I am this lazy person, who is a slob and stupid and she thinks I don’t know how to do anything.
She looks down on me for my room being so messy. Like I am the lowest of the low.
She has her nose so far up in the air at me.

How can I get her to see that if I was given something to work with, I could organize my room and keep it clean.

Its like i’ve been given a plastic spoon to dig a foundation for a house…its impossible.
