This morning, Meg and I launched into de-clutter mode. I think I've filled three garbage bags, so far...and not done yet! I finally was able to take the Christmas decor off the fireplace mantel and went through the bookcase to pitch things that are taking up space. We made one shelf just for the children's books. Not quite a full shelf, but almost! And the dust! You can't believe the dust!
Meg started on her class homework. We both succumbed to sleepiness and decided to take a nap. I'll bet I was down for over two hours, which is why I'm still going strong right now.
I've been working on the kitchen since naptime. There are boxes in there that contain Christmas decorations that haven't been escorted out of the house yet. As I go through that stuff, I am trying to reduce the amount of things that go into storage. De-clutter, de-clutter, de-clutter! This all sounds so boring to those of you who read my blog...and I apologize for that. Both Meg and I would like to have some order in our lives, but it's a full-time job with so many people in this little house. If we can ever get it under control, the issue will be to enlist everyone to contribute to keeping it that way. Very soon, it will have been a year since Meg and the children arrived on the doorstep. We have had some good times and some frustrations, but we are all endeavoring to make our abode workable. Truth be known, I would rather have them here than not. Family is everything to me. We survive!
Bunches of rain due tomorrow. We don't need it, but such is winter in Indiana. Better than snow!
