New Year...gettin' stuff done

I don't normally make New Years Resolutions, but after I spent this past holiday season procrastinating, it's time to git 'er done.  I started decorating so late for Halloween and Thanksgiving, and for Christmas I didn't even put out half of my decorations.  I'd just been feeling so disorganized already that getting all the decorations out just made me feel overwhelmed with putting thing in order just to get things out of order and then back in order...ugh, I'm getting a stomachache just thinking about it again :/  I'd spend the first part of the year hassling with my mortgage company raising my payment, and then was able to refi with another company, getting a lower interest rate AND lower payment with NO money down, so that was a load off!  But even then I was already consumed with things to do but too busy all the time to do anything!  Sigh.... but that's all behind me now.  I finally am getting my craft room converted to an actually usable craft room!

Next I'm getting the boys room organized too, by making them a space to work on their homework and shelving to put their toys up...

I even got the boys clothes ready for the week!  I know that's borderline OCD, but I don't have a lot of time in the morning to get myself ready, so if that saves me even a little bit of time in the morning I'm happy.  I'm already starting to feel a little less stressed than I did a week ago!

Still more to do, but I feel like I'm on the right track.
