(Did that title get your attention????)
Sorry, couldn’t resist…
I have always been famous for my “Hile Piles - especially in my closets. I just can’t seem to keep my closets picked up and organized. I am going to try to change that….
Yesterday I cleaned out the boys’ closet and my closet too. Today it’s on to Sofie’s closet. It has been tons of work, but the results are amazing! I can actually see the clothes that I have. Conner can actually find a clean pair of shorts on his own now! YIPPEEE!
In the boys’ closet, I pulled out the clothes that are too little for Conner and put them in a box to save for Ian to wear in a few years. I also pulled out the clothes that Ian has outgrown to donate to charity. Conner and Ian also now have a light saber station in their closet where they can always grab a weapon for a battle.
In my closet, I pulled out tons of clothes and even a few purses to donate to charity as well. I know that I will have a pretty big pile from Sofie’s closet as well. She was a bit miffed that her closet wasn’t done first, but is excited about seeing the results this afternoon. She has done an excellent job keeping her room picked up and actually makes her own bed first thing every morning - unprompted!!

I am once again feeling a bit lost in terms of goals and plans… I know I want to be more organized. I am proud of how I am doing better keeping up with the housework. But for some reason, my “goals” seem to be revolving around materialistic things that involve money…

I want:
manicures every week
new furniture
new dishes
new make-up
to go to Egypt NOW
a new car
new high heels
frilly fancy underwear sets
Godiva chocolate truffles
new clothes for everyone in my family
that nose job that my parents offered me when I turned 18
a house with a massive gourmet kitchen…

Of course there is no way I can afford ANY of these things right now or in the near future…
I’m not sure where I caught this case of the “I want’s”… but it’s frustrating. I’m usually not so materialistic - yes, I like nice things - but I’m not usually overwhelmed with so many silly wishes/desires… Maybe it’s because the big “4-0″ is fast approaching…
