Progress

Just a comment on my 1/2 year resolution that I made in July to tackle a room a month in the quest for organization. My first project was my son's room. I am happy to report that Friday, I donated a bunch of clothes and old toys to charity that I collected from his room. I can now see under his bed, and his closet is much more organized. I still have a little work to do, but the feeling of accomplishment is intoxicating. It makes me want to do more. I am not quite done, so obviously I haven't made my  "room a month" commitment, but I am satisfied that I didn't give in to procrastination, but kept plugging away.  As I also mentioned in July, I started working in the garage. This room however is not as easily organized. It seems to be  a receptacle for the junk that accumulates daily. I would clean a section only to turn around and find more stuff that wasn't there five minutes ago. This is a bit more of a challenge. I will not give up! I can do it! I will do it! Now with that mini pep talk I will take this time to go and spend a little time in the garage before I have to pick up the kids from Youth Group!

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!
