I need to get more organized?

It would be a nice change to know where stuff is before I have to tear a room apart to find something... My kids drop stuff where ever, as do Hubby and I, thinking we will get back to it soon and put it away properly. That never happens. I finally found all the parts for 1 small dome tent, so we could go the the webelos woods last weekend. I have 6 other tents, but only know where the poles are for three of them. :P The 2 cabin tents pole bags are big, so very hard to misplace. The dome tents, the poles hide under stuff. Time to go finish the dishes and sort more laundry. Maybe I'll find the bottom of the clean laundry pile, which covers the dining room table.
