If you read this blog because you’re a little messy and “hate clutter” you probably won’t understand. But if you’re a true slob, you will.
Do you know that point when you start to work on a REALLY bad room and you get about half way done and then it just overwhelms you that you will never find a place for all of this junk?
That’s where I am.
I put off working on our room for a very long time last night. But finally, just before 9 pm, I put in what turned out to be the world’s worst movie and started working. Hubby had taken the boys camping. I worked until about 12:30, and then went to bed.
And now I’m up, I’ve had breakfast, I’ve started a load of laundry and done my Bible Study, and am looking for any excuse to not go back in there.
It’s always those last few things that overwhelm me. What do I do with the framed pictures that I took down in order to put up Christmas decorations? I’m afraid that if I stuck them in the attic, they would break. And there are other things, soooo many other things.
I’m glad that I did clean out my closet before doing this. Otherwise, I would be very tempted to throw all of those “decision required” items in there.
I prayed this morning that this would be the last year that I would have to go through this. I do not want my bedroom to ever be the dumping ground again. I’m feeling a series of non-negotiable tasks coming on regarding the bedroom.
I should get back to work before a real excuse/distraction does come along. I’ll keep you posted.
Ok, I’m reading your posts backwards. I love your blog! But it’s killing me – what’s the movie? I can’t believe no one else has asked!
Oh . . . now I can’t even remember. I’m pretty sure it was a romantic comedy that wasn’t funny at all.
… I was thinking of buying a TV for my bedroom just so that I can clean in there. I’ll keep reading and will hopefully get inspired to start soon. Soooooo glad I found u!
My bedrooms seems to be a dumping grounds, too, but I really do have nowhere else to put the things…which is why decluttering will be so important. I wouldn’t be able to do it to a movie though. Music seems to motivate me more than anything. The plus there is that I don’t have to worry about listening to anything bad…just crank Spotify up and I have music to motivate. 🙂
I am so glad I found you! I am reading the blog backwards and just wanted to say thank you!! One thing I really appreciate (along with the hysterically funny stories) is when you let us know that once you got started- most things didn’t really take that long. Sigh… I have added “suck it up Saturdays” to my tackle it Tuesdays!
Love that term for Saturdays!!
I feel that way All. The. Time.
