Well, it is January 1st and I can honestly say I am starting to meet my goals. I know, it is only just beginning, how can I say that? Well, as tempting as it was to go shopping today to get some great deals, as I am sure they are out there, I stayed in all day with my girls as Danny worked. I lit the candle on my stove at 9:15 this am and at 10:12 p.m. I blew it out!
Besides doing the normal mom things, here are a few highlights of my day:
1. I cleaned out and categorized my pantry in my kitchen. WOW, how many boxes of crackers and taco shells can a person have??? Seriously! I am hoping the pantry stays as organized and clean as it does today. I really should take a picture.
2. I cleaned underneath the bathroom sink and boy did I get rid of stuff!
3. I also cleaned out our hallway closet. I had unopened vitamins that had an expiration date of 2007 - yes, 2007. I did have to think for a minute, well they are unopened, but nope, I threw them away. Felt good too.
4. I cleaned Emma and Kylie's room, and got rid of a lot of Emma's toys she no longer plays with. Melissa & Doug wooden puzzles, a brand new ball pit with balls, miscellaneous toys, clothes, etc. I cleaned her closet too.
5. Lastly, my dresser. Everything seems to gather on my dresser. I now have a dresser with a candle burning on it. How romantic!
So, one of my goals for New Years is to de-clutter my house and I must tell you, I am making a start and it feels good. I can't say the same for my garage as that is where everything is for now until I am able to drop off at the local Women's Shelter here in Albany.
