I would like to find an excuse. But I’m afraid there isn’t one.
Tonight and tomorrow are off-the-schedule kind of days, and it’s weighing heavily on me that I should work on the master bedroom. Our bedroom.
Our scary bedroom.
Really, our bedroom is more like a storage room right now than a bedroom. A totally chaotic and scary storage room. It’s the last on the list of rooms in the house to get the initial big declutter, so it’s become the dumping ground. Pictures that I removed from the dining room wall so I could hang up my stocking collection? They’re in the master. Excess school supplies? I know right where they are and can go right to them when we need them. They’re under that pile over there in front of the dresser.
I’m even too scared to take a “before” picture. I MIGHT take “before” pictures of specific areas, but one pic of the entire room would be too shameful.
If you think I’m probably exaggerating . . . I’m not.
Ok, here goes. Tonight I’m going to put on a movie in our room and get to work. Really, I am.
Unless, of course, I can find that excuse I’m looking for.
I can think of a million for you. My house looks like your "befores". I need to stop reading you every day, and actually do what you're doing.
You're making progress, and you should be proud of all you've accomplished! I've been working a bit on our master bedroom. It's amazing how many garbage bags full of "stuff" I was able to remove from such a small room!
Best of luck!

We are currently remodeling (not by choice but by poo explosion) our bathrooms. We completed one, so we could move back in, but mine in the master bedroom is still gutted. This was my closet as well. So everything I had a ton of room for in there must be shoved into my husband’s closet. All of our bathroom stuff, which won’t fit in the other one because it is smaller than mine is, are in 128 gallon tubs sitting in front of his closet at the end of the bed. So I really should not add to the pile to make my bedroom tinier. I say should not.
Ugh. I literally just came in to take a nap on a Sunday afternoon, and thought to myself, “I probably won’t be able to after reading this blog post…” UGH!
