Getting a picture? Don't worry if you didn't know what color my table is--it barely shows through anyhow!
Don't get me wrong--it's a quick cleanup. We do have places where all that stuff belongs, and if company comes, we always clear the table. :)
However, with all this assorted crap piled on (and yes, most of it is important), I probably don't have to admit we hardly eat at the table. I eat breakfast and lunch at it, but for dinner we pretty much load up our plates from the stove/counter, and end up eating in the living room, using TV trays, the coffee table, or our laps, in front of the TV. Now, I know, all the family therapists and pediatricians wouldn't like that. At all. And yet... we do still all eat together. Does that give me, like half-credit?
*sigh* In another life, I'll try to get our collective shit collected together someplace else besides our dining table.
Until then...

Yeah...that sounds like my table. We do eat at the table though, most nights, so that means there is a mad dash to shove the stuff elsewhere.
Half credit for sure. When the kids were home, we used to eat at the table every night. Looking back, I can't say it made a difference.
