My house is a mess,
but so what.
Ok I have to admit,
I have been trying to get my house under control since we moved in (6 years
ago). Don’t judge me, I have always had the mindset that I needed to keep stuff
because I never know when I might need it again. Recently I have begun to adopt
the mindset that I need to clean house and simplify in order to make room for
my blessings. I was on a roll until I had to clean out my work office. My plan
was to clean and organize the garage to make room for the stuff that I have to
move out, but it has been so dang ole hot (we topped 115 in early July) that I
have been unable todo as planned. So my quick fix was to go to store and buy a
bunch of containers to stack in the garage until we move into a bigger house. I
am even considering, really considering getting a “She Shed,” so that I can
corral my workspace and actually get stuff out of the house and garage.
Well I am happy to
report that I am taking baby steps, but steps indeed. When I was packing and
moving out of my work office, I made the decision to leave behind things I
absolutely did not need. A microwave, toaster, Keurig, mini fridge and a few
fixtures would be a blessing for the next occupant. It felt so good to let go
of the stuff. Of course when I excitedly told my hubby, he was like we could
have used that stuff for the yard sale. He is totally an enabler. Believe me,
we have enough stuff in that garage to hold numerous garage sales.
Things I have
accomplished:
- Organized my closet and put away all the clean laundry I had
- Began degreasing the stove
- Sorted through my books and pulled out ones that I could donate- even had my daughter go drop them off at goodwill
- Deep cleaned the living room, although you would never know it looking at the mess right now
- Set up an area in a corner for me to film videos
And…..
That’s about it
Now here are things
I want to accomplish:
- Re-clean living room - move containers to garage
- Purge and organize my kitchen cubards- wipe them down as well
- Finish degreasing the stovetop
- Purge, organize and inventory the pantry

So I bet you are
wondering what my timeline is. Well lets just say, if all goes well and we have
the yard sale, then this will be done by the end of the week.
Wish me luck!
