Is It Naptime Yet

I’ve been doing a lot lately. Well it seems like a lot. I finished my bedroom drapes! I now don’t have to adjust the blanket that was in the window each night before bed.

I’ve also been trying to get things organized. I’ve been going through all the old piles of papers and tossing things into a shred box and a to be filed box. Our first couple years of marriage are very unorganized so I have a lot of things to file and get ready to scan once we get a scanner. (I read a recommendation on scanning documents, such as tax paperers or medical statements, and filing things electronically. This was you don’t need to hold on to the actual papers past a year.) We keep everything so it’s nice to see the box of stuff I didn’t know what to do with get smaller. Like pay stubs and rent receipts from our first apartment. Those are getting shredded, not filed. I even found our actually wedding license from the State of Nevada. Good thing we never needed it in the past two years, because it was in a to be filed box from the move. That would have driven us nuts if we needed it.
I’m hoping to have the house organized to the way I want it by the end of the month. That way we’ll have less clutter and hopefully everything will have a place. I hope it will make my life a little easier. It seems hard to have the energy to do chores when I’m constantly trying to lessen the clutter, or I feel depressed about how much there is to do and don’t do anything. I’m seeing the light though. Next Saturday my dad and Jon will be getting rid of the crib and I am looking forward to organizing the closets more.
I’m enjoying organizing, even when I’m overwhelmed because I can see it slowly paying off. The one bad thing is I’m buying things to organize with. Like a new DVD shelf,which came yesterday, and hopefully the end table/ trunk will be here on Tuesday. They’ll hold the blankets I don’t have room for in my hall closet.
I’m also looking to buy some wicker baskets to put CD’s in and stuff animals.
Those can wait until June though.
Organize, organize, organize.
It’s only taking me two years to find a spot for everything, but now I have the time and the motivation.

This photo gives a better idea of the texture and colors of the fabric. We plan on painting the room a lighter shade of the blue in the curtain. I’m also trying to find sheets in the light seagreenish color, but I may just do blue.

Here’s one of my mother’s day gifts. Now instead of DVD’s in my entertainment center I have CD’s. At least they’re finally unpacked, it’s just been nearly two years.
