Yes, I'm really hoping she can see organizing as fun. It's challenging to declutter with her - much slower, so I really have to remind myself to be patient and keep things light - but I also try to set really reasonable goals, just an hour or so at a time - for both our sakes. She does say she's good at organizing and that she likes cleaning, which makes me super-happy. So far, we've done pretty well.Originally Posted by rosarugosa
Still putt-putting along here. One hour on Thursday and one on Friday. New total: 11.5.
Two hours today going through my daughter's dress-up rack with her. Found a lot of stuff to throw out or give away. New total: 13.5.
Two more hours today. New total: 15.5.
EJ- You are doing so well! That constant plugging away ALWAYS gives good results. You inspire me mentally-though I haven't acted on it!
Thank you, nswef! The support I get here really helps keep me motivated.
I did 2.5 more hours today, and it felt really good.
New total: 18.
Good going, ejchase!
It appears that my son won’t be going back to Vietnam to teach any time soon. So he is going back to being a self employed IT person. So I emptied the closet for him and removed my stuff. It was my office and guest bedroom. It’s been 4 months and he needs space to store his work tools, etc. It’s a small room. So I threw a bunch of stuff away and have my trunk filled with stuff to donate. One thing led to another and I went through other parts of the house. Wish I could get rid of my husband’s junk.
Oh, do I share that wish!!! LOL.
