Clutter Busting

I am reading a book called Does this clutter make my butt look fat by Peter Walsh. Oprah had Peter and the book on a few years ago and I finally found it at the library. Interesting read. I just finished For Packrats Only. We can see where this is going. I started with the kitchen junk drawer...by the time I put everything away and tossed the junk I am left with some magnets (and I tossed the ones I hate) and some dry erase markers. Then yesterday I tackled another drawer and then a cabinet and ended up doing the whole kitchen. I threw out 18 spice jars (recycled the glass). I even found two packs of hardened kool-aid and some funky discolored vanilla. Gone Gone Gone. It feels so much fresher in there. I even shined my sink last night. Flylady would be proud. I'll be hitting the whole house this weekend. I would love to do the attic, but not looking forward to a heat stroke so that will wait.

It's been so long, I don't even know where I left off. We are trying to survive this scorcher of a summer. Not getting much sleep as the teens are up more then when they were babies. At least I could trust that the babies weren't sneaking out...Should have slept when I had the chance.

I saw a picture of myself that a friend took on her cell phone...I wasn't the center of attention, but the horrid profile proved otherwise to me. I really should cut the candy addiction. Soon I'll be able to roll everywhere, forget walking.
