Stuff

June 21st, 2006 at 11:06 pm

OK, I know I have room in my house but I didn't plan on taking up that space, just enjoying that I could look at a smaller house when I moved. Now well...OK my MIL was sorting out stuff and alot of it came home with me. Some of it was expected, the family good dishes to be passed down to DS2 and the like. But some wasn't. Like the set of books for DS2 I couldn't resist. Or the large stack of puzzles my SIL gave us. It is making me rethink my closets though. I have one that is filled with a computer (I thought it would be better than our old one but can't get it to work right) and three boxes of stuff that belonged to our exchange student he hasn't come back for. My DS2 closet has a lot of stuff "in case" the next one might like it. The closet in our room has clothes. The hall cupboard has all craft stuff, some of whihc I haven't seen since I put it in there. The large hall cupboard has Christmas stuff (I shop early) fabric (She who dies with the most fabric wins?) and alot of just in case stuff, in case of what I'm not sure. There are also two large boxes of photos (I take alot of pictures) and the Christmas stuff. The time has come to clean my closets. I want to wait until I feel better but need to get started. MY DH has been sick for three or 4 weeks with some sinus virus or other and now my DS2 and I seem to be losing the fight with the same thing. Because it is a virus there is no "cure" only paliatives which I don't use unless I have too. He called off two days this week and it seems to have helped. I keep asking where I call off to? The other "little" problem is that I can't clean closet when my little one is awake because he is very helpful and doesn't understand why he can't play with all that stuff. I think I'll start with the craft cupboard and make it into the "heirloom" closet. That way I shouldn't have to touch it again until I move!!!

    Good luck Nanamom! I sure sounds like you have your hands full. Just remember "baby steps" and how good it will feel once you are organized. Very freeing!

    I might be a neverending process, but it really is worthwhile, try giving your kid something very entertaining, but not taxing to do while you sort. like look at some of those photos you don't need. or sorting osme yarn (that is already in a tangle so he can't make it worse)
