I know we're an entire day early and that I could have just scheduled this, but nah...I'm taking my kids camping tomorrow so let's just give y'all a sneak peak and then you can start tomorrow.

Last week was a make up week and I was going to tackle that top dresser drawer. Instead, I ended up tackling my top 4 dresser drawers! I collected half a trash bag of clothes that I'll be donating.  I know it's mostly empty at this point (we're doing a massive laundry catch up right now!), but here is my after picture:



It's nice to actually be able to see what's in there and know that there's plenty of room for when I track down the rest of my underclothes!

This week, the challenge is clothing and I swear I didn't remember that so I could work ahead! I just thought it'd be a good thing to do since we have a ton of clothes that are getting washed up and needed homes.

So, for all of you..pick a drawer, pick a closet, pick a kid and go through the clothes. Toss what can't be salvaged, donate what's still in good condition and put back only what you love and what fits!

Since I already did my dressers, I'll be purging as more loads of laundry get caught up on and only putting away what I really love and will actually wear.

Oh, thank goodness! Google has sorted itself out again and I can use pretty graphics again. It's Tuesday and I feel like I'm running a million miles behind where I ought to be right now. I've been feeling myself slip lately and I've been battling hard against that. I don't want to go back to being in "the dark place" where I'm just helpless against my own emotions. So, I won't. Even if I only do a little bit each day, that's a little bit that wouldn't have been done if I gave in.

Plus, this is Tuesday and that means I get to focus on getting one thing accomplished which is perfect for when this happens. I've been saying for months that I need to tackle my closet and clothing and while I've done a tiny bit, I haven't actually done a good purge. Well, today, I'm going to start one. It won't get finished because I still have bunches of laundry to catch up on but it will get started. I know the boundaries that I've set for myself and the ones I've pointed out to others when helping them, but I also know just how hard it is to do that. Well, it won't get done if you don't get started so that's what I'll be doing today. What will all of you be doing?

Well, it's Tuesday and the boys have gone back to their Dad's place. I got news last night that they'll be moving back into our old house by March 18th. It seems the sale of the house fell through and he's decided not to re-list it. It sucks for me because I could have used the money from the sale to get the van fixed up, but it's good for the boys. It will be good for them to be back in their house, with their own rooms and an actual backyard to play in. I'm only a little sad for Ben since one of his good friends just moved into their apartment complex, but there's nothing to say that Matt can't come over and hang out. I hope that Peter thinks of that and makes arrangements. I'll be happy once the house is done because then the boys can start having friends over here from time to time.

So since the boys are now back at their Dad's place, I'm ready to jump back into working on getting this house into shape. This week I'll be working upstairs in the bedrooms and possibly the landing. My goal is to do my room, then the boys room and then if there's any week left, to work on the landing. It's going to be a lot of work but totally worth it.

Today's goal is going to be one that won't be completed today but is absolutely going to get a jump start. Clothes. Yes, clothes. I have too many of them. I have no earthly idea how this even happened but I probably have enough clothes that two of me could wear them. There's no room in my closet, no room in my dresser and my under the bed bin for heavier sweatshirts is full too. That'd be just fine, except for the baskets that aren't put away and the huge pile of laundry waiting for me in the laundry room. So, today my goal is to tackle the two baskets that are upstairs and either put it away or add it to the give away pile.

How about all of you? Do you have too many clothes and you need to purge them? I know that Nickle used to love the challenges here, so I'm going to post one for all of you. I challenge you to go into your closets, dressers or anywhere else you might store your clothes and take inventory. Do you have too many of anything? If so, I'm going to challenge you to be strong and either freecycle it or donate it to a local charity. Good luck all! I'll let you know how I did!
