It all started innocently enough this morning. I was going to take down the Christmas decorations and the tree since we were home and had no plans. That was how it all started.....this is where it all ended... When I went up to the kids' rooms to take down the trees in their rooms, my spidey senses were assaulted by a mess beyond all my neat freak mind could comprehend. Thus began a clean up to end all clean ups - "What is this?" "I don't know." "Do you need it then?" "I guess not." "Ok then lets get rid of it." We made donate piles and trash piles and cleaned the remaining belongings so that miraculously one might even know what is there.
I did end up getting all of the Christmas decorations down and put away and then I moved on to the playroom closet and added even more to the trash and donate piles. In the end, we filled three large trash bags, four bags of clothes, and a pile of books, toys, games, puzzles, etc to donate that looks like Mt Everest.
I feel better already and so do the kids if they are being honest...We are going into the new year clean and organized. Bring it on 2013.. we are ready.
