Making Order out of CHAOS

It always amazes me that about 4 times a year I get so tired of everything in my house that I have to reorganize it.  Right now Cade's toys and books are overwhelming me to no end and about to drive me crazy.  My yarn closet is at the "open grab and close quickly so nothing comes out stage."  I hate that.

I really don't try to have disorganization.  I actually prefer my world to be organized down to the smallest letter.  I like to have everything laid out.  Then, other priorities get in the way.

Tonight, Cade and I will finish up his play room.  We have 2 new shelves and one more on the way.  We have little buckets that, in a dream world, will stay nice and organized by types of toys.   (Yes, every mother has this dream that usually is just a dream).

Tomorrow, I will get clothes organized, folded, put away.  It is just "that" time of year.  Well, that and company is coming over spring break and I don't want to look like a total slob.  (really am not a slob, I know).

This week has been all about the cleaning and organizing really.  I have been getting ready for our Child Development Center Sale.  WOW, there is a lot of stuff.  The more I organized it, the more I got overwhelmed.  One person who helped me said it was kinda like eating an elephant -- you had to do one piece at a time.

Why in life do we have things all planned out, all organized, all prioritized and then BOOM something happens and we become a cluttered mess?  BOOM, some explosion of life craters our organizational plan.  BOOM, life gets in the way.  It is a daily struggle I guess.  A daily test of my patience sometimes.  A daily mountain that I don't always want to climb.

Guess it keeps life interesting?
