Forward and back again – Tracey in Maine

I have had so many different things some good and some not so good going on and instead of sharing with you all I was keeping it inside. That’s not such a good idea. My update to

Back, Forward and Back Again

I have been able to get rid of probably half the stuff cramped into my hallway. That was the first major area that has to be done so I can use the space to clutter up with other things. Lol. No, my crafting supplies are going there. As most of you know, supplies are always everywere! !! I had wanted it all done before my 18 year old came home for the holidays. Nope. But, it’s progress.

Then of course dealing with xmas and not letting my kids down was a huge stressed to me until they both told me to stop. I am blessed twice with these two boys. At 14 and 18 they get it. They don’t want me robbing Peter to pay Paul . They are such good kids. I sometimes wonder how I got so lucky.

3 weeks and 3 days….

I have been into my cleaning and organization for well, 3 weeks and 3 days. I have taken days off and some days I have just been lazy but, I got the stuff I needed to do outside to winterize the yard……DONE!!!!

The kitchen is still at the knick knacks and decorations phase which means the cleaning and organizing is …..DONE!!!!

The upstairs hallway that was cluttered with all the things I needed to get rid of has been moved around some and I just got rid of a 18 gal tote full to the top of toys! That cleaned out 2 totes and half of another. Sorting through them took lots of time, those little plastic army men!!! Wow!! All the action figures with the tiny guns and things. I still have more to do but I feel good about how far I have gotten. My goal is to have it done by Xmas. The reorganization of the upstairs hallway into my craft storage area will be after Xmas is over, and my son’s bday on Dec, 31.
