Clutter, Clutter Everywhere

Dude!  Really?  How in the world does it keep finding its way back into my house?  Clutter!  I decrapify my house during every school  break, but it keeps coming back!  It's so frustrating!  And why does it always come down on me to get rid of it all?  Oy vey!  I need to go room by room and purge the clutter.   . . . Thought about it and I'm not going to decrapify anything today.  Just don't want to!  Wow! Just sitting here looking around in this one room.  Man, I've got a bunch of stuff!  The kids and the husband.  OMG!  They keep bringing stuff! 

I solved my paper issue a while back.  I keep a big recycling box in the kitchen.  As my kids'  folders come home, I go through and recycle the not so important stuff!  Okay!  The papers that the kids do at school are important- at school.  Not so much when the work comes home.  We would all be on the hoarders show if we were to keep every paper our kids brought home.  Soooooooo.  We keep the the things I think my kids might enjoy looking back at when they're older.  We recycle everything else after we review the papers together.  Paper problem solved! 

But what do you do with all the other stuff that comes home?  Sometimes, I'll make the trip to Goodwill.  My new found pleasure though, is to donate it to a local church that has a thrift store.  So the thrift store is a total addicition for me!  So maybe my DH and my sweet little 3 aren't  the only ones who bring home the stuff.  But my stuff is good!  It's my stuff after all!  Once I get this blogging and posting pictures thing, I'll have to show you the awesome thrift store find of mine!  Target is currently selling chess figures for about 12 bucks each!  Well, this Fantistically Southern gal found two chess figures at her favorite thrift store for about two bucks for both!  Helloooooooooo!         
   
Well, today I'm going to put my house back together again (aka put everything where it's supposed to go!)  Wish the people who live with me would follow my philosophy!  Everything has a place and everything in its place!  Not sure if that is the saying but it works for me!      

Here goes nothin'!

Okay.  So why am I doing a blog?  Good question.  Maybe . . . I really don't know.  Like I need to add something to my list of things to do!  Really?  Okay, so maybe this is my motivation to finally get my house looking the way I want it to.  Eight years ago (yes, I said eight people) I just wanted to get in this house!  Oy vey!    Now, when I look around and I see stuff just in here.  We (we=DH & myself) just need to get motivated.  Got to find a sheet rock guy.  Then floors.  Then paint.  Hey!  I do already have the colors picked out.  Okay, so fine I didn't necessarily pick them out.  But the colors are picked out!  Oh my!
