Control

I'm beginning to feel a little more in control of my life and house. I think the months of extreme exhaustion are gone...at least until the third trimester. I better use the energy while I have it. When I was so tired all the time, I did the bare minimum and it has showed in our house. But now, the dishes are done, the laundry is on its way and I can move on to deeper cleaning.

I need to get our house ready to sell and we need to get packed to move before this baby is born. (Why is it that we have chosen to move during or just after every baby??) I have big organizing plans. I have been trying to do at least one organizing project everyday. They are mostly little things, but I want to get organized for us and for moving. I've started a donation box again and I have started to throw things away! I used to keep everything, but I try not to anymore. I don't see a point in carrying around things that have no sentimental value and aren't used!

My projects are things like taking the horizontal books and papers off of the shelves, sorting through drawers, cleaning up all of the toys and throwing out broken or junkie ones, sorting through old clothes (I have clothes that I haven't worn in years, and some I shouldn't be wearing still!). I hope to continue this feeling of order and control over my home rather than feeling controlled by my stuff!
