The office is done!

Yesterday I organized the office. Yay! For some of you, it may not seem like a big deal to get rooms organized. Maybe your rooms are always organized or maybe it doesn’t really matter to you. But I FEEL much much better when things are organized. When I know where everything is and where everything has a place to go. In our household I am the person everyone goes to to find something, because I usually know where everything is or I remember seeing it somewhere. When things are disorganized and I know that we have a certain item but I have no idea where it is, it frustrates me.

As I’ve been working hard to get everything organized before I go back to work, I’ve found with each room and space organized I am feeling more relaxed about things. It really makes a difference for me. This does not mean to say that my house is in pristine order. lol! There are areas of total chaos. Why have I lived with this for so long? I think I need to be in the right frame of mind to do it. Plus, if it seems like a really big task, then unconsciously I feel overwhelmed and I avoid tackling it. When I work on organizing something, I tend to try to get it done all at once and I’m very thorough when I do it so it usually takes a long time (longer than it would take my husband, but at least I know where everything is).

I’m feeling more and more at peace about going back to work. I still have over three weeks left before I return and there isn’t a lot left to organize. I’m hoping to have it all done by the end of August so I can sit back & enjoy the first two weeks of September before going back.

UPDATE: David and I still aren’t finished the play yard (it’s been cloudy and raining for the past week). But there is sun in the forecast for Saturday so hopefully we can get most of it done then. Now that we’ve laid all the pieces out and started on it, it doesn’t seem like it will be too bad of a job to do.
