Managing a household with a busy toddler can be overwhelming, particularly when it comes to organization amidst sleep deprivation. The article reflects on the struggle of parents to find energy for tasks, leading to clutter buildup and a reliance on tossing items into storage. Progress has been made in decluttering, yet certain areas remain neglected, such as a dark corner of the basement filled with spider habitats. The narrative also humorously notes the surprising nature of what others will pick up from the curbside, demonstrating a mix of resilience and resourcefulness in parenting and waste management.
