Aaarrrrgh!

3 drawers...3 tiny small drawers. That is what I got done today. Ok really I got a whole lot more done today. But as far as streamlining? 3 drawers. I will try to finish my bathroom tomorrow, and if I can my hallway closets. If nothing else there is more in the DI bag and more in the trash than in my top bathroom drawer. I love the feeling of nearly EMPTY! I loved the feeling of waking up in my bedroom that has nothing but stuff I actually love and use. That is good feeling. My mom says something often that I think is very timely...she says "It is not the things you do all day that make you tired. It is the things you DON'T do." I feel that. It is exausting me to think that my basement and playroom are looming, not to mention the kitchen. I feel encouraged with the headway I have made, so I will try harder to focus on that and take it day by day. As for the hall closets? Some of you may be storing sheets in those closets. If that is the case remember there is NO NEED for a linen closet. Take 2 sets of sheets per bed. One set obviously will be on the bed the other set will be folded and put in between the box spring and matress at the foot of the bed. Wah-lah! This is a fantastic tip that I will forever be grateful for. When your kiddos have those middle of the night accidents or sick tummy's you will have at your disposal a complete set of sheets that fits there bed. No more searching for the matching top and bottom sheets at 2 a.m. There you go, that's it for the day!! Good work and good luck tomorrow. :)

  1. Psshhhhh. I didn't even make it into the bathroom! The top of my dresser, the bedside tables, and armoire are all that happened. Although I tried to tell my kids what I'm trying to do, they don't seem to care and THEY want my attention. This is going to be a long process, isn't it?! I don't even want to think about my playroom. Other than what a blow torch could do to it.
