January 8, 2009 - Purge

Today is a day of organization. We love to function within a neat and tidy home; however, it is apparent to any who know our family that we are squeezed into a space that we have outgrown. If we did not own a preschool or the daycare, coach a sport where a minimum of 15 balls can be found in our home, have camping equipment or a year supply of food storage, craft, and lack a garage we would fit nicely. But we do, so we don't. I filled Big Grey to the rim the first week of January with charity items and Bil took a run to the dump. This week we put in new carpet in the playroom and decided that another purge was in order. This task is not for the faint of heart! As one room empties out, it filters into two others. I think we’re in for the long haul… if we can handle the continued clutter that accompanies organization. Wish us luck!
