All Talk and no action....

Our home has taken a back seat to our work, church, commitments, and sleep... Oh and laziness.... yeah.. that too!

So in the past (in AUGUST!) on this blog you might remember that I spoke about cleaning/organizing my closet. Yeah.. you might guess that it didn't happen... nope. I am still living in a disaster zone! :(

So I am going to take my time this weekend and really do it. Really be alll ACTION and NO talk!

In the bible it says in Galations 6:4-5

4Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, 5for each one should carry his own load.

I have several things I want to accomplish this weekend and I will post a recap about them on Sunday night.

Here is what I NEED to accomplish this weekend:

(this is NOT my closet.... but could pass for it)

1) Friday night, take everything out of the closet and sort to see what stays and what goes

2) Measure for new rods that need to go in for better organization. Right now in my closet, I only have two rods - one on the left and one on the right. I want to have one on the left (for shirts/blouses & dresses) and two on the right for pants/skirts. In the hubs closet, it's the same and we need to fix that so that he has one on the left (shirts/sweaters) and two on the right (this man has about a thousand pair of pants!)

3) Work Sat morning

4) Go to the Hardware store to purchase stuff for the rods and lift shelves up and move rods up a bit to fit the clothes properly.

5) Put everything that stays back in the closet as well as organize any cubbies or drawers (we don't have a dresser in our bedroom - all clothes are in the closets)

6) Organize the coat closet. I did this once before and it's back to wild and crazy!

7) Organize/clean my craft room and it's closet

(not really what it looks like... but quite close!)

and last but not least - the thing that has consumed my every last nerve!
8) Organize/clean our office.


The thing is, I desperately want to get a dresser for each the office and the craft room, but have not found any in our price range (read:FREE - LOL or close to it). I feel like if I can organize the office and craft room using a dresser it would look so pretty (and out of the way!). I want the closets to be clean of clutter! We have a 4 bedroom house.....that is SOOOOOOOOOOOO much space and I feel like our house is bursting at the seams AND THERE ARE ONLY 2 OF US LIVING THERE!!!!!!!!!!! Why the FRANK do we have soooo much stuff... I just dont get it.

How beautiful does that look??? That's what I want it to look like in our office!!

and another thing - is anyone else scared of their attic? I mean, we have NOTHING stored in the attic. I just can't bring myself to put anything up there. I HATE going up there and I am always scared that I am going to get startled by something. It's the weirdest thing and I have yet to get over it.

(not a real picture of our attic, but come on... scaaaaaaaarrrryyyyy)

Anyway... I think it's time that we took ACTION!
There you have it!

Hasta!
