No Time Like The Present

The past few weeks I've felt a little blah, and yesterday I figured out why. It's the to-do list that just will not go away, the same tasks that I've been putting off that keep getting transfered from list to list. Our garage has been chaos, Mike's office (especially the closet) was a disaster, the linen closet is still a wreck, (and it got worse before getting better) and our closet has become a mess of summer/ winter clothes and a myriad of sizes as I have slowly lost baby weight. It was starting to really wear me down, I am usually compulsively neat, and the thought of getting down Christmas decorations when our house is not in order has been stressing me out. Plus new things coming in at Christmas...eeeeeeeek! I have been functioning in a mess, and I am tired of it. Well I decided that it is time to suck it up, and power through. Last night Mike and I tackled his office, it is now neat and orderly. I have almost finished our closet, and it is now tidy and organized. Mike started the garage- it's almost finished and he will be off on Tuesday afternoon and will finish it then. Monday I am going to get it together and get the linen closet cleaned out- and then everything will finally be in order. I'm sure that some of you think this is silly, but I already feel so much better. I feel like everything will be in order for the holidays, and when it's time to move next summer we aren't going to be trying to move a mess that never got fixed from the last move. Now I have to go and finish our closet... hooray for organization. (I know- I am such a nerd, but a nerd who will now be able to find things!)
