Stuff

I am currently surrounded by stuff.  Little pieces of paper, projects the kids started but didn’t finish.  Bags of clothes, old toys and household items needing to be sorted and then disposed of.

Stuff is overwhelming isn’t it?  And the more I delve into it, the more I seem to uncover.  The funny thing is; I tuck away the kid’s items they haven’t touched in months.  I pull them out and guess what, “It’s the toy I’ve been looking for forever!”  Really?

So this week I’ll continue cleaning out my closets, figuratively and realistically.  When there is stuff around me, I can’t think, I get frustrated, I get caught up in the stuff and not in what I should focus on.

Maybe that should be the theme for the week.  Focus.  Because right now I have one very cranky baby (cutting more teeth is never fun!), two tired school aged children and one really tired mommy.  Without focus, this week is not going to go well.
