Sam is your driver for this
post.
Truth Revealed is a new series that gives an eye opening experience
of what really happens in the Nomadic RV, and features interviews from the
members of the nomadic family.
Susanne is being organization captain. {No offense} she
really is not doing her job great.
I mean like, if you were to open the cabinets up, [in the kitchen
in this case] you would
find that the pantry is not organized, AT ALL! Here is a
dialog of words that might be said
when one opens the door.
“bang” {Food falling}
Susanne: “****”
Susanne: “I mean… Great.
Sam: “You said a bad word!
{Trent walks in}
Trent: “Do you want help?”
Susanne: “No! I don’t want help!”
Trent: “Fine, geez."
As you can see, in the picture above, the pantry is not
organized. Along with that, the fridge is very disorganized as well.
In my opinion, if we are to survive
any longer, the problem needs to be addressed immediately. But it has not been addressed, which I
cannot stand.
But something else I can’t stand, Trent and disorganization. He has his
own little places in the rig where he just stuffs pieces and kiblets. That are referred to has the
“junk areas”. It was not too long ago that I caught him stuffing stuff into one of his “Palaces of
Junk” areas. I said to him that he should organize it. In reply he said “It doesn’t
matter, Mom cannot reach up there.” Sure enough, ten minutes later, I see her
reach up there. And a box falls on her head. I tell Trent of the incident. He just ignored me. Hm. Hm. Hm. You would
expect him to take care of her. I guess not. It is actually kind of depressing. It's sad. {silence}
Anyway, I gave an interview including all of the members of the Nomadic family!
Q: What do you have to say in defense?
Sam: Personally, I have nothing to say in defense because I
am organized, unlike other members of the family.
Biscuit: I HAVE TO stock up party supplies so when I have a
million hot boyfriends, I can throw a giant party!
Susanne: It’s true. Something fell on my head. I blame
Trent.
Trent: Susanne unleashed the potential energy of the box turning
it into kinetic energy. It was for science.
Q: How do you think we can improve?
Sam: By taking the time to take everything out of the fridge
and pantry, and put it back in, but organized!
Biscuit: By cluttering! {Yeah, totally going to work.}
Trent: By getting rid of more stuff.
Susanne: By not stacking things on top of each other.

Sam, please do not open any closets or cupboards when you are staying in our house next week. And never, ever go into the garage, ok, thanks.
I guess it is not organized, is it
My sister tried to help my mom with organization by printing labels and placing them where everything needed to go. It didn't help my mom much, but it did make my sister feel better until it became total mayhem again - but this time with labels! :). Great post, Sam! Tiny living on a day to day basis is basically large chaos in a small space. Your parents are lucky to have you there to keep them from totally falling apart ;).
PS - we only have one kitchen cabinet and it is COMPLETE AND TOTAL chaos. I'm glad no one can take pictures of it!!
I love that biscuit is sharing her views. Very insightful! Can't wait to read the next one! Keep up the good work Sam!
I understand the frustration and stress of parents that are not as organized as you are. I am sure they appreciate your help and encouragement to improve their organizational skills:)
I can totally appreciate the chaos you are feeling. Good thing your Uncle Tom isn't there: he doesn't notice the clutter. Good thing you know how to keep it organized!
Thanks for posting Sam! We hope to hear more from you in the future.
Wow Sam...you're an insightful and well written young man..but also a tough cookie! As a person who also lives in a tiny space with my husband (10m^2) it can be tough keeping organised when things (especially food) is constantly changing. You use 1/2 a box of "stuff" only to have to buy another box of "stuff" for the week and now need to find space to fit a box and 1/2 of stuff when there's only space for 1 box. You would spend all you're time re-organizing just to keep up, not to mention using other foods 3 times per day for just meals. It seems like a simple problem.. but maybe for 1 day see how it actually works to cook, re-organize and then cook again. It's the challenge of an ever changing dynamic further complicated by the organizational viewpoints of 3 different people. I know how frustrating it can be to have to live with disorganization. .but the real truth is that this is a fantastic and amazing opportunity that you're parents are able to provide because they are organized in other ways. And while the minutia of the day to day organization is frustrating, in the bigger picture you are building a repertoire of experience that will allow you to build the type of organized home/life you want when you get older. It's called "doing it better than you're parents" because you feel it will enhance your life for the better. Try to enjoy the adventure despite the slight disorganization because it is one very few kids get! I look forward to reading more of your thoughts though as you're perspective is very interesting.
Sam, is there an artichoke compartment in your fridge? If so, is the artichoke in the artichoke compartment? If not, is that because your family ate the artichoke and is waiting to buy a new one to put in the compartment, or is the artichoke in the wrong place? If you are in need of an artichoke, where can people send them? Thanks very much for your help. I know very little about being organized and nomadic living.
