Ode to Organization

I have finally reached the point of “I can’t stand this untidy mess any longer!” and have embarked on an organizing/cleaning/decluttering binge. In prepration for said binge, which I have titled my “Two Week Blitz” I made two weeks worth of evening meals, bought some paper plates, blocked off my schedule to prevent me from engaging in unnecessary social events, and tried to eliminate routine chores that can wait for a while. I started last Thursday (yes, I know, one normally starts such things on Mondays, right?) and have so far gone through all of my clothes, cleaned up my room, cleaned off my craft table, organized my craft supplies, and cleaned off/organized my computer desk area.\par

On the agenda today\’c2\~is laundry (can’t be eliminated, I’m afraid), continuing to clean up our basement family room, and attacking the boys’ room to try to bring order from chaos.\’c2\~\par

Before I’m done I want to clean up all of the clutter areas in the house, including the dreaded storeroom, clean up the “grounds” of our lovely estate – or what would be a lovely estate if better cared for – accomplish various out-of-every-day-routine chores or small projects, and generally have the house shiny and neat. For at least a few hours.\par

Wish me luck!
