Faux Poll

So, I tried making this into a poll but it keeps disappearing and I don't care enough to spend more time on it.  Anyway, our house is cluttered at hte moment and it's driving me crazy.  It is, for me, by far, the hardest thing about being a parent or living with others.  If I could get rid of the clutter, I think I would be about 100% happier at least.  Anyway, I cannot relax in the house when it is cluttered.  Joe, otoh, cannot relax in the house when it is dirty.  Dirt doesn't bug me that much and Joe can walk around clutter for weeks.  Months, actually.  So, I'm curious - what bothers you more, dirt or clutter?  Or both?  Or neither?

Joe is gone this week until Friday.  Ellie is watching The Incredibles (it's raining outside, again), Frisco is sleeping, and I'm trying to get all the clutter put away by the end of the week.
