A Great Week

Wow, what a beautiful day! The sun is shining and there is no humidity. I have had a wonderful week. For the most part it has been a productive one. I have slept alot of it away, but did find time to get some work done around the house. I spent some time working on Nathan's room, forming 3 piles of things to throw away, keep and donate. There are alot of sentimental items that made me sad that Nathan is not a little boy anymore, such a his "blankie" that I made for him before he was born. Man that thing has seen better days! It is all shredded up hanging by a thread. Oh well, life goes on. I should have taken some before pictures of his room. I was able to get a good chunk done. I have also been working in the garage these past few weeks. Didn't take a before picture of the garage either. Things are not as bad as I think they are. Maybe I am not as clutter filled as I thought.
The other thing that has been occupying my time this week is Vacation Bible School. I was helping with the snacks. Unfortunately, I had to work so I couldn't be there for 2 of the days. It is fun spending time with the kids and friends. Well I guess it's time for bed. Ready for another week.

My half way through the year resolutions

Okay, so I missed my half way through the year resolutions by 28 days, but I am here to declare them now! I am working on organizing my home room by room. No easy task as you might imagine. Everybody builds up clutter as they go through life. I wouldn't say that I have uncontrollable clutter, but my "stuff" is all over the place. There is no rhyme or reason to how I put things away. When I am looking for something, I can't remember where I put it. So I end up buying it again and after I buy it, I find the original. That seems to be how things multiply around here! My primary goal is to take about a month per room. That will find me by the end of the year organizing 5 rooms. That's do able right? I am also working on organizing my photos for scrapbooking. I used to be caught up, but that was about 6 years ago. I have alot of work to do. August will start my son's room. There, I said it!! I need to be held accountable. No more procrastinating! Yeah!!! I reached my goal for today! Making this post by noon!
