Today is a big day

I have a biiiig job ahead of me today.  I’m going to be upstairs all day if thats what it takes….my goal is to reduce the amount of STUFF by half.  Good luck to me, lol.  Clothes, toys, books, junk, nothing is safe lol.  I’m armed with boxes for give away, a new pkg of super sized trash bags, and rubbermaid bins.  I’ve been wanting to do this for a looooong time but the thought of possibly moving has gotten me motivated to actually do it.  The twins are at school and Macie is hanging out with daddy so I’m hoping I can get my game face on, get up there, and knock it out.

How do kids end up with so much stuff, anyway?  It just multiplies all by itself.  Anything that is actually put away goes….that means it hasn’t been played with since the last time they picked up their rooms a month ago LOL.

I read an interesting article about kids and their rooms, it suggested laying off and letting them be as messy and disorganized as they want until THEY decide it’s no way to live.  It sounded good, but I couldn’t do it after the third day.
