Getting Organized...

I mean it every time I say it, it just doesn't ever work out that way. This time, it's going to be different. This time I really am going to get organized. I'm going to get my life together.

A place for everything and everything in it's place. I'm going to start packing up the summer clothes but I'm not going to put the tops on the boxes because you just know the minute I do that the hot weather will return.

I'm going to give away the stuff that doesn't fit and that we don't use anymore and I'm going to remember where I put my receipt this year so I have it at tax time. Maybe I'll even get a filing system. Yes! I am definitely getting a filing system.

I'm going to make a list of chores the kids can do and stick to it even though it is quicker to do it myself. I'm going to get us on a schedule and no TV until your stuff is done.

I am going to paint the bathroom that has been primed and ready to go for about a year and a half. I'm going to scrape the peeling paint off the storm door--maybe I'll borrow the power washer from the guy next door and do it that way...Power tool babe---(Tim The Tool Man Taylor sounds here)

I am going to clean out my kitchen and stock my pantry, throw away anything and everything I haven't used in a year--which is pretty much everything in my kitchen--and cook like a crazy lady and stock the freezer.

I'm going to do all of this...just as soon as I take a nap. Thinking about all this work has made me exhausted...
