I have not been sitting on my butt the whole week though. This weekend, we finally went through the filing cabinet that contains more paperwork than any one family should have. It's been 3 years since the filing cabinet has been cleaned out. Sadly, we actually found receipts in there from 2003. I guess we were just saving everything back then. So, it was a crazy shredding party all of Saturday. I've got 11 bags of shredded paper to recycle tomorrow. That's just the shredded paper. That's not the other stuff we got rid of and have to recycle. Then, today, I managed to get all toys organized, tags made for the bins and computer room pretty darn clean. The theme for the computer room clean up was simplicity. Keep only things needed or really wanted. If we could find a manual for something we own online, recycle it. If it was a toy the kids don't play with, give it away. If it just annoys me, it went. We managed to find 3 cell phones and their chargers that we donated to Cell Phones for Soldiers. It's an awesome feeling knowing that everything is clean and organized. Now to just make sure Husband and the kids can put things where they belong...
So I feel like I'm letting my friend and fellow blogger down. At the beginning of the year, she mentioned me in her blog discussing how I inspire her because I make time to do write. Sorry, to let you down Super Mommy. I can't even figure out what I did all week that made me so busy. Maybe it was Sunshine not napping or maybe it was Saturday my computer room looked like the Watergate cover up. Maybe it's just laziness. Maybe it's just life happening and me trying to keep up. Whatever it was, I'm actually pretty sad that it's taken me so long to get here this week. I've started several topics, but haven't had a chance to finish them. In fact, I kind of forgot where I wanted to go with them.
