Sifting & Sorting

Yesterday I decided that I would once again trim down my room. Putting away those precious do-dads that take up a place in my heart and a place that needs to be dusted and cleaned more than I have time for.

Ever notice when you are doing that you sometimes think Oh I need that? Only to find a year later you are saying WTF is that? That is where I was yesterday. My son has made me so many hand made, crayon pictures that I could wall paper the Eiffel tower them. Yes, I keep them. Hanging them up or putting them in a 'special pile'. OK, mom's you all have that pile and know what I am talking about. The 'special pile' otherwise known as 'to be thrown out when they are not around pile'. I keep all the special ones, Mother's Day, Ground Hog's Day, you know those holiday ones. But how many 'I love you mom's' to keep? Talk about saving a tree, I threw out a forest over here.

My desk area looks and feels better with doing that. All the little things that I do not really see or appreciate went in a box to go into our storage room. I am taking one section of the room at a time to do this, as I want to put the wall back in place within this week of the storage. It took most of the evening to do this, plus I sifted through the filing box and purged all the past years of 07-08 to be packed away. What a hassle no wonder I put it off. Just like looking for sd cards that I was asked to research. Yea, I will get to that sooner or later.

Am I done with this chore yet? Nope I still have three other sections to do. Not to mention the back part of my room that I close off for the winter. Dread doing that part. Who knows what lurks in there. haha
