The Uncluttering of me!

Where do I begin... I am not sure if I am a born organized type or a messy mommy! I have been both I guess. What gets me in trouble the most is my perfectionist side. I never know where to begin because I want to do it all, perfectly, at the same time. To stop mid project just frustrates me and I would rather just not do it at all.

Well I am now a mom to five and I have no choice, either drown in the chaos, or give in and do it in the time I have.

I have been reading several different books on organizing, housecleaning, scheduling, etc. realizing I need one place to write it all down and track my progress, my goals and just have a basic control journal as some books have wanted to call it. Well the folder I bought was too small and didn't have a place to keep my pens. So I went looking, because I know I have other folders in this house and I know I have a pencil pouch somewhere... probably even more then one. Well the lightening hit as I crawled up into my attic... wow box after box was stacked and I had no idea what was in them. Then I went into my craft/toy storage room, yep there again box after box of what? Toys, crafts, hobbies I no longer had time for. Then it hit me, I looked around my house and saw it, little boxes everywhere, in every room all filled with ??? Yep I was trying to hide my clutter in boxes. It sure looked neat, and yet I knew deep inside hid all my secrets. All my junk just waiting to spill out. Well in my garage it has spilled out..... So here we go the uncluttering begins.
