Declutter--March (?!)

I'm behind but not discouraged. The flylady says housework poorly done still blesses your house--or something to that effect. I bit off more than I could chew in my March decluttering plan, and that was before adding in Girl Scout cookies and sick kids. Here's where I am:

Hand-me-down closet--absolute nightmare. I have a new plan though. Once the GS cookie stuff is out of the office, I will move all the hand-me-downs in there so I have room to work.

Master bedroom--pretty much done. I have several hundred dollars in dimes which I need to take to the bank, but otherwise, it looks good.

Kitchen--Oh my. It's discouraging to go through the kitchen and see that everything there is useful. It's so much stuff! To do: have KitchenAid mixer fixed. I overworked it, apparently.

Charles helped me make this custom spice rack for my spice cupboard:

(OK, I'm not sure where this picture is. I'm looking for it)

Kids' & downstairs bath--later today I'll take 15 minutes and do these. There is nothing in the kids' bath really, and downstairs has a changing table.

Repair chest--To do: Need to get the phone number for the guy.

Looking ahead to April:

Living room
M, J, JD's room
Ch and Cec's room
A&T's room

One Saturday morning and a big garbage bag should get me through the kids' rooms. The living room needs some culling of books/videos from shelves.

My friend Maryan just pointed out to me that our move is only about 13 weeks away. YIKES!

**********

This was 5 weeks ago. The move is now only 8 weeks away, and I'm working down my final list.

Done:
Main Living Room
2 Bathrooms
Cecilia and Charles' room
Laundry Room
Maria and the little boys' room
Front entry

Left (some of these are getting a second pass):
Dining room
Kitchen
Art closet
master bedroom and bath
twins' room
blue room
office (the hand me downs are there now, but I'd like to do a quick reorganize)
My closet which has become a staging area for anything without a home
Fix mixer and cedar chest
I'm putting in the hours this week and weekend. It has been such a blessing to see bag after bag of things we don't need get donated to the thrift shop. Also, I've decided that summer is a generally cleaner season with all the bulky clothes put away. One more reason to live in Hawaii!
