` I can't believe it has been a couple weeks since I last blogged. I really don't know where the time went. My husband started his new run which has him gone 80 hours a week with only Saturday off and my house has become the summer place to be. I love having company but it does add more to my plate. On top of that a medication I was taking kicked my butt to the point where I was exhausted to the point of all I wanted to do was sleep but the sleep I got never seemed to be enough. On a positive note the mail has been getting filed appropriately since my paper purge. Other than that not much has been accomplished.
`This is a new week and I am determined to get back on track. First for all my company I am buying 15 cups for the kids that have been visiting and putting their names on them to cut down on the number of cups I have to wash. I am considering doing plates and bowls too. The older kids are going to be responsible for washing their own dishes and the little ones for putting them in the sink. This will help me keep track of what belongs to whom.
`As far as focus goes, I am in need of motivation. I am to the point where I look around my house and am frozen by "I just don't know where to put the stuff" Stuff is my biggest problem. A couple weeks ago I did a paper purge and it helped so every week during the summer I will do some kind of purge starting with clothes. I have clothes EVERYWHERE. There is not a room in my house that does not have a clothes mess. I did manage to go through mine but the pile I made for Salvation Army is still sitting there. Oh and did I mention I am hosting a graduation party for my niece next Saturday at my house. It should be a fun week.
Great idea about the cups and putting names on them. That should help a lot!
ReplyDeleteI have a similar problem with just getting the stuff to the Salvation Army or Good Will. At the moment I have a truck full of items that have been riding around town for a week. I am dropping them off today during my lunch.
You did a great job with your paper purge, so I know you will be successful with your clothing purge.
Have a great weekend!
Good luck with your clothing purge. It will feel so good to purge and see the cleared space in your home. Well worth it!
ReplyDeleteFor me, having a party is the best motivation in the world for cleaning house!
