Declutter Mode

I have it.  You know, that spring fever thing.  I want to clean out everything.  I want to get rid of everything.  I want to plant everything. I want to do all these projects that have been calling out to me all winter, begging to be done.  So yesterday, after doing school, I went to work on my closet.  What a mess. I would not have started there except that we have to empty the closet in order to paint.  So I decided I might as well get rid of anything we don't need or want .  There were also things I needed to move to a more proper place. If you haven't been to Mrs.Catherine's blog , it is worth checking.  She is doing a series on decluttering.  She has it broken down into easy steps.  It is amazing to me and somewhat shameful how much stuff we have.  When did we acquire it all?  It has made me really think about being a more conscious shopper and being content with what I have.  Do I really need this or that?  Do I already have something I can make due with?  Think before I buy.  Not to mention the example I am setting for the kids.  Our culture makes it so hard to be content. Anyways, I am cleaning out.  

 We have a big soccer weekend coming up if it doesn't rain, which they are calling for.  We really need the rain after last summer's drought.  The older girls have a banquet this weekend for their P.E. class.  It is going to be busy around here.  I hope everyone has a great weekend.
