My problem is that with all the R text-fests I was not doing much besides texting and surfing the web all last week while the kids were in bed at night, or while they were gone.
I have needed to do this decluttering. There were papers stacked on a chair in my dining room dating back to Christmas and Valentine's Day!?!
So far I have dining room done and living room......heading into the kitchen. Simultaneously doing loads of laundry so tonight I can sit back and fold...maybe I should pick up some wine to drink while I am folding...
Seriously my major goal #1 for 2010 was to be more intentional and organized. If I can actually deal with all the clutter crap and keep the house organized, it will be so much easier to relax and enjoy the time with my kids when I have them. Not to mention life is better when you know where the permission slips are and what time those meetings are taking place.
I actually read in a magazine yesterday on things that age you, that the usuals, poor diet, lack of sleep, etc are stressors. But it also said that if you are not organized, if you have a stack of bills lurking somewhere in the house that haven't been paid (not due to finances, you just haven't gotten to it), mail stacks to be sorted, etc....it can add EIGHT years to your actual age.......yikes!
