A lil winter "spring" cleaning..

I didn't realize just how much clutter I had until yesterday. I moved everything out of my bedroom and was amazed at just how much stuff I had in there. I rearranged my entire bedroom, wiped down my walls, dusted all my trinkets and it feels so much better to be in there. It's my own lil sanctuary. I made a vow to myself yesterday (It's also my New Years Resolution) to stop being such a lil pack rat. I tend to hold on to things either for neccesity or sentimental reasons. My new rule is... If I haven't used it in 6 months get rid of it!! Today I'm going to start on my kitchen. I have a pile stacked up in my front room to give away to Goodwill so I'm sure I'll be adding to it today.

This is also the last week of school before the kids get out for the Holidays. My honey is working all the overtime he can get due to the plant being shut-down for 2 weeks for the Holidays. He has one day off and that's Friday and I have to do the rest of our Christmas shopping, buy groceries, send off packages, and if he feels like it get a couple honey-do's done before he goes back to work Saturday evening. I also have the pleasure of watching my sisters two beautiful babies this upcoming weekend. I can't wait to get them because we are all going to bake cookies and do some arts and crafts. Linsey and T will be making their mommy a Christmas present.. Can't say what it is exactly but she'll love it!

Well I need to finish my coffee, get something laid out for dinner tonight and get started. I'm procrastinating! I think we all do that at some point or another. Wish me luck!
