If you went into my home right now, with the exception of the living room and bathrooms, you would be shocked. The bedrooms have borne the brunt of the renovation process, and have had to absorb everything that is coming out of the closets and the kitchen. Last weekend we moved the clothes from our old bedroom closet to the new one, but it was only vacant for a few days because since then I have moved my kitchen drawers into that space. This morning I was asked where one might find a spoon and the answer was, "in the bedroom closet, but don't use spoons, we don't have a kitchen sink." The youngest child's room is filled with plastic bins of toys I took off the shelf but don't know what to do with, as well as all the kitchen stuff from the upper cabinets. Add to that a dresser that is completely inappropriate for a 7 year old to manage and that leaves the poor child's room looking like an episode on Hoarders. There's really no excuse for the middle and oldest child's bedroom looking like it does except that they have outgrown it and are really bad at putting their clothes away. Middle child's dresser is also too small for his clothes. Oldest child is on strike until his new bedroom is completed. But there is no excuse for the fact that there are still many boxes of papers in my room and that is my nemesis. I want to make it all disappear but lack the magic wand. I start to organize it but it feels like too much to undertake-because I feel that there are many things that should be saved but don't know where to put them. I think binders might be a solution for me. I could use binders for all the instruction manuals. A memory box for each child would organize school papers. I see that a friend of mine makes beautiful scrapbooks using things like programs or invitations. So I could start a box for that. The problem is everything is right now mixed and when facing it, a mild form of add sets in on me. I feel unequipped to deal with it. Suggestions would be welcome, but no one knows this blog is here.
