Searching, do you have a thread? The one I found was locked...

Thanks for all the points of view. Not sure what Dan thinks of my boxing up his stuff but the crusade continues. For me, not for him. Clearing out clutter so I can feel more at peace at home instead of stressed out by the cleaning I need to do...orgainzed home, organized mind or something like that.

Called in sick today, found out I have 13 sick days left for the year and only 23 days of school left. Gotta love being a teacher.
OK I feel a little guilty...

So cleaned out the kitchen top to bottom. That is where all the clutter accumulates, junk mail, mail that is important but not bills (such as insurance statements) so I don't have to do anything with it right away, so it sits, things the kids bring home from school, etc etc. Now there is nothing on any countertop/table surface that shouldn't be there. We'll see how long that lasts...

Next I will do the same in my bedroom, I really want a new bedroom set. Mine is the one H and I bought used the year before we got married. So it is probably 15-18 years old...Not ancient but it is particle board stuff, not heirloom furniture, and it has been moved 8 times. His dresser fell apart this move so it was thrown out. Just my headboard and leaning dresser remain. ;\) However I am torn between buying new dresser with money I have in savings or keeping it to pay my half of a D....
