Stuff Stuff & More Stuff
As I prepare for the packers to come in 2 1/2 weeks (YIKES) I am finding myself having a hard time knowing where to begin. For a family our size we really do not have all that much stuff, but there is alot, since there are alot of us. In fact, there are 10 of us at the last count! LOL
I am in the process of trying to weed and widdle things down and to organize. This is something I should do on a continual basis but now it is crunch time. I think my biggest obstacle is that I do not have a place for everything. There is just some furniture I need to purchase but find myself not wanting to spend the money.
I also have to do the seasonal clothers swap, for 10 people that is alot of clothes. It will not really be warm enough here to do it before we move but we are headed back to Texas so we are going to need those summer clothes before we leave. At least we have big rubber tubs to help keep us organized in this area!
I am trying to find ways to motivate myself and get the task done, but it is hard when you see the big mountain in front of you and realize you also have to maintain the daily chores as well.
I guess it is time to get to work!
Any organizational tip you might like to add in the comments are most welcome, even if they are things we already incorporate it will be an encouragement to know that I am on the right track.

I feel for ya! Every time I sit down to the shredder thinking I only have a small stack, I end up with 5 bags of confetti -- every single time!! We just took 4 bags of clothes to the mission. I just finally told the kids they can only have like 7 or 10 outfits or something like that. Laundry was killing me so we had to do something. At least you can put the school stuff away in boxes until you guys get moved and everything.. If you don't use it, get rid of it -- that's the only good advice I can give ya :-)
