I've been gone a while! I'm happy to say that everything I've accomplished since January is still in a glorious state of organization. And I am SO close to being finished. It's really wonderful.
This past week the entire bedroom closet was cleared and I put shelves up in there to keep things neat. I have plenty of room for blankets and sheets. I actually have shoes on a rack. And I was able to fit the steam cleaner in there too. I keep it upstairs because the bedroom is one of the few rooms with a carpet. Soon we will change that too. But that's a project for another day. :D Today I organized and cleaned out the laundry closet, put a shelf on the back of the dryer, and put all my laundry stuff on it. Everything else got relocated to where it belongs.
I've left the two really huge jobs for last. One being our spare room. We did make a dent in there. It's about 1/4 less full then it was. My craft room needs to be cleaned out too. If I haven't done the craft in 9 years, I doubt I will now.
After this it's home improvement. I think I'll save all that for next year's resolution.

Dog Cabinet Done!
It's really nice to be able to reach in there and find her brush or the cat's comb right away. And no more endless search for the poo bags. I put a little bamboo tray in there for her heartworm meds and her tick collars. And I finally threw out all the old leashes I was saving. They had no purpose so out they go.
This marks the one month anniversary of me starting my blog and I can't believe I'm still doing this. I am proud of me. And Steve has started helping me a lot more. I don't think he didn't intend to help me before but everything was pretty confusing with nowhere designated to put anything.
Tasks for this month:
Bathroom closet
Do some work on the bedroom closet (library closet that is)
Keep up with day to day decluttering and management.

I Did Not Stop! :D
I have most of my living room straightened out. There are a few things that need to be relocated but my kitchen table is clear of papers and crap, my coffee table is too. Behind the couch where my fishtanks are is also cleaned up. I've got a mail caddy up for bills to go into and we now hang our coats every night instead of putting them on the back of the dining room chairs.
This month I'm going to work on closets. My walk in closet/library has literally a foot of books and magazines and boxes just tossed in there. My bathroom closets need product downsizing. My dog cabinet needs to be cleaned out and re-organized. My kitchen cabinets will be getting racks and such to help keep things neat.
Most shocking of all is that I've kept my dresser clean for this long. That has never happened in the history of me. All my jewelry is in my new jewelry box, my earrings are hung on an earring caddy. And there is no crap at all on that dresser.
I feel good. :)

Holy Headache
I'm not sure if I'm getting sick or not but I had the worst migraine of my life today. Despite that, I managed to put my husband's laundry away and get the morning dishes in the dishwasher. Then I took Excedrin migraine, ate pizza, and passed out for 2 hours.
When I went to get my husband it felt like every car had their brights on. It's much better now and I'm drinking some SF Red Bull because caffeine always helps me.
But I guess the point of this is that I did my chores despite my most horrible headache. That's never been done before. I did NOT go shopping. I was afraid to get behind the wheel. But I'm having groceries delivered tomorrow. So, here's my own personal "Atta girl!" to me for not caving in to my pain and neglecting things.

Pay attention!
I got all lost in music tonight while I was doing dishes (yes, I'm still doing them after dinner). I didn't notice that the lid from a tuna can was in the sink. I rinse them before I throw them in the recycle bin so they don't smell up the place. I forgot the lid. It is the exact same circumference as my drain. So it got stuck, of course. I bent a fork and almost broke the point of a knife trying to get it out. My husband came to the rescue with a hammer and nail and bent it so I could get it out (while shaking his head and grinning at what I manage to accomplish with half a chance and my natural inclination for chaos).
I picked up some Dr. Bronner's Sal suds for general cleaning (I'm just not happy with the vinegar thing) and I'm going to try and limit myself to it but I realized that I still have a lot of old cleaners to get rid of. That's my project this weekend. Gather up all my cleaning products, go through them, and discard what I don't need 6 of.

Going strong!
I went grocery shopping today and I came home to kitchen counters I could USE! It was awesome. The fridge was pretty clean so I didn't even have to go in and toss a bunch of old food. My bathroom is now clean and so is my bedroom. The last room left to declutter is my living room.
After I do that, I'll go after the hidden jobs. Bathroom closet, bedroom closet, craft room storage, kitchen cabinets, etc. I'm feeling really good about this whole thing. I feel like I've accomplished a lot of change in a pretty short time.
When Steve works out, instead of sitting in front of the TV, I try and find something that needs doing. I've been making his breakfast and some of his lunch for the next day every night after dinner since I'm usually cleaning up the kitchen at that time anyway. I put on music and dance and have at it.
I have a new planner and a notebook that I use to keep track of things. I'm not perfect in this regard but it's a process, ya know? I made myself a shopping checklist because I ALWAYS forget my cloth bags or my list or both. We have a white board on the fridge to write what we need and half the time I don't look at it and then I have to go to the store the next day. Now all of this is on my checklist. I checked it before I left today and came home with everything I needed in my cloth bags. :D

Sometimes you have to screw up!
I caved to the God of cheeseburgers today. I should have been satisfied and I was. Until I sat down to log it on Weight Watchers. If I'm going to do this, I have to be honest about it. I get 28 points a day with WW. This little meal cost me 50. 50 points. Was it worth it? Not really. That's too damn close to two days worth of food.
In the past when I got McD's I would just start over and pretend it didn't happen. Or I'd go off plan completely and live in a cheeseburger induced stupor for a while. I had it once maybe two weeks ago, but I didn't get soda or cookies. Today I went all out. And it was a stupid decision. But putting it in writing made me face up to it. I feel better already. Next time I can come and read this post first. :P
Along the same track, my neighbor Joe and I were talking the other day about health and chemicals and such. I was telling him that I only use vinegar and baking soda as a cleaner. I also make my own dish soap out of castille soap. We had spoken earlier about me wanting McDonalds all the time. And he said to me, "So you treat your house like a temple and your body like crap."
I didn't think much of it at the time. I laughed it off. But he IS right. Why do I do that? I guess because I feel like I want what I want when I want it. That doesn't necessarily make it a good choice just because I do. Clearly I am not in a place where I'm making the right moves. Not yet. It's a sort of cognitive dissonance. I want a healthy home but not a healthy me. Well, screw that. I deserve better. <3

Cheese, Fat, and Self Loathing
This morning I woke up to another crappy day. I miss the sun! I made the bed, as usual. The catboxes didn't actually even NEED a scoop cause I did it last night. I also cleaned up the trash from all the upstairs rooms, cleaned the bathroom sink and mirror, and started on Steve's laundry. Then I came down and washed Steve's breakfast dishes. I tended to my three fish tanks. Then I watched the latest Ghosthunters!
I feel the beginnings of a routine. That's a new thing for me. On the diet front, I resisted going to McDonald's. I was fantasizing about it last night while I was in bed. I have an unholy love of cheeseburgers. The problem is that once I go; I end up going back that week. It's a spiral of cheese, fat, and self loathing. I had toast with hummus instead. If you've never had hummus, I highly recommend it. It's creamy and has a kick to it. It certainly satisfies my cravings. I had an apple too because one of my WW goals is to have fruit or a veggie with everything. I'm doing well today!

Ho hum!
I woke up today, made the bed, scooped the cat boxes, and cleaned the toilet as a bonus. Steve is home from work today. He said it was sleeting really bad this morning so he didn't go in. I don't get much big work done when he's home. I'm not sure why this is. At any rate, my thumb is still raw and sore so I can't do much anyway. But I did a few of my dailies.
Late edition! Before dinner I emptied the dishwasher for, what I hope, is the last time. There are only two people in my house. It's crazy for us to need a dishwasher at all. After we ate, I washed all the dishes we used and set them out to dry. I'm going to put them away while I make Steve's breakfast and lunch (for tomorrow) later on tonight. I also want to eliminate some of our dishes, cups, and glasses. Again, 2 people don't need 12 dinner plates. Reduce and simplify!

Ginsu knives are dangerous
Especially when you're washing them and trying to rush, thinking ahead to what you have to do next. I cut the pad of my thumb almost off. So, let's tackle my tendency to rush through tasks. I'm down for a few days anyway. I've discovered you can't do much of anything without the pad of your thumb. Luckily typing isn't one of those things. :P
I used to work as a receptionist at a Veterinarian. I was pretty good at the smiling greeting part. And the talking to clients. But I tended to rush through paperwork or phone calls. This led to a few miscommunications between the Doctors and the clients. I was talked to about it a few times. I became much better at focusing before I left there. I have trouble applying this at home.
I usually listen to very loud music when I'm cleaning and this helps keeps me focused on what I'm doing because I can't resist singing. It's hard to sing and think at the same time. But I can't always do that. Sometimes Steve is watching football. Or playing a game in the living room. So I need to keep reminding myself to focus on what I'm doing. I think a post-it over the sink might help. So I'm going to put one up today. At the very least maybe I can avoid further damage. I have a burn on my right hand, too, from rushing to put the chicken in the rotisserie. My need to focus is obviously very acute. :D
I managed to NOT pick up my ipad as soon as I wake up yesterday. Not so much today. But I had news to post to my friends...
I think I've done Weight Watchers for a week? I've tracked my food every day. And I even indulged in fast food (just a goodbye, really!) and pizza. Today's weigh in has me down 5lbs. Part of this is diet and the other half is probably that I've been running around town and the house like a nut all week. I even resisted my usual urge to get fast food on the way home from Shoprite. I bought a Healthy Choice meal instead and a WW dessert. It felt good. Now I'm going to go and log it.

My kitchen drawers went on a diet!
And they lost quite a lot of weight. That was pretty painless. I'm not a hoarder really. I just don't like to deal with clutter. Til now. I have a pretty sizable box of every cheap piece of kitchen fluff I've ever bought or was given. I'm down to a few spatulas, a few spoons, and one of everything else.
I made a big Costco trip today too. I hate Costco but I love the deals I get. I do rotisserie chickens myself and you just cannot beat the .99 cents per pound price tag. It really wasn't bad now that the holidays are over. I don't step foot in there from about November to January 10th. You shouldn't either!
When I got home I decided I'd clean out the fridge. So now I have clean drawers and a spotless fridge. And my bedroom is still in a state of cleanliness. And we have food! We're going slow, one job at a time, but we're making progress for sure!
The dog did NOT get walked though. Maybe after dinner. Poor thing.

I like to start stuff on Monday
I don't know what it is about Monday but I love to start stuff on this day. So tomorrow I'm going to tackle my kitchen drawers. It seems like a simple job but my drawers are FULL of utensils. I have 6 or 7 spatulas and countless spoons. These things fill 3 kitchen drawers. So I have no place to put dishtowels. I can never find anything in those drawers.
In my organization book (http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Cant-Clutter-Series-ebook/dp/B0054DW3BW) she recommends taking all the extras of a utensil and putting them in a box in the kitchen for a week or so. Whatever you don't pull out of the box during that time, you can safely disregard at the end of the week. Obviously yearly things like pie spoons and basters for your turkey don't count.
I keep my weekends free except for daily chores like making the bed or scooping the boxes (I did both today!!!). My husband works all week and since we're both pretty heavy gamers, the weekend is reserved for fun. Mostly. He took the Christmas tree down last night while watching football. I could learn a lot from him.
I'm also going to start walking this poor dog of mine again this week. It's been very cold and I struggle with arthritis. But I'm armed with Aleve! And it's been pretty mild in NJ. How can I resist this face?

Day two and here I am
I have this thing where I get up in the morning and immediately grab my iPad to check Facebook. I gotta stop doing this. I end up laying there for an extra half an hour. But despite my initial lazy ass-ness I got up and made my bed, scooped the cat boxes, and put all my clean laundry away.
I usually leave the laundry sitting in the dryer all week and then I have to contort myself into the dryer to find what I need. I have a bad lower back and this is a stupid method for me. There's a certain satisfaction and a freeing of your mind when you can just reach in your drawers for your clothes and there they are, waiting. And that brings me to my musings while I was falling asleep last night.
Years ago, I remember telling my husband that I just wasn't an organized type or a neat person and that was something I couldn't change. This isn't really true. I just didn't want to. I've always been known as the scatterbrain. I'm a smart girl, but I have so many thoughts in a day that half of them never turn into anything concrete. See? I'm already getting off track. I'm ready to write about my less desirable traits. Let's shift gears again. Why do I want to change?
I realized, after cleaning up my bedroom, that life is much less stressful in an uncluttered environment. I wake up and everything around me is in order. And I don't have to think, or worry about the mess I see. Imagine if every room in my house were this way? I could just come in and put away the groceries without having to remove 10 tons of old food. Or move a gazillion things off the counter to put the bags down. That's a lot less stress right there. Imagine if I didn't have to move things off the kitchen table so we could eat? That sounds wonderful. Imagine if every time the dog tossed her cookies on her fresh blanket (I swear she waits til I put the brand new, clean blanket on her bed and then "HURKKK!!!!") I had a replacement waiting in a drawer?
These are things that don't come easy to me. Mainly because I never put anything away in the same place twice. And that is the brutal truth. It drives my husband up a wall because he is the exact opposite. I've done it for so long I have no issue adjusting and finding what I need but for him? It's a nightmare.
So after I got up and did those few things upstairs, I put all the clean dishes away and reloaded the dishwasher. I made myself my WW planned breakfast. Aaaaand, I cleaned fresh dog bile off the deck. Now I'm going to log my food and have some gaming fun until it's time to think about dinner. And I don't have to feel guilty about it. :D

Nowhere to go but forward!
I'm a terrible blogger. Honestly, I'm terrible at anything that takes a daily commitment with the exception of marriage and pets. Since I'm so awful at this, my house is a jumbled mess, my weight is out of control and I constantly forget things I'm supposed to do.
This year I decided to do the New Years resolution thing. Again. All my other resolutions have failed. But I'm determined to make a change at 41 years old. I know there are things I have succeeded at. I've quit smoking for over 15 years now. I've quit drinking and drugs too. I've lost track of the time frame for those but it's been years. Many years. I even lost seventy some pounds a couple of years ago on Weight Watchers. I was only about 35lbs shy of my goal when I just stopped. And most of the weight crept right back on. The only habits I seem to have are bad ones.
But I'm determined to change all that. I'm armed with countless organization books. I have a couple of notebooks set aside for ideas. I rejoined Weight Watchers. I'm starting off slow. I've been writing down all the things I need to do in a day to keep things running smoothly around here. Then I have another list of weekly chores, and monthly, yearly... you get the idea. I'm trying to organize them into a schedule.
To some people this might seem mind numbingly simple. For me it's a big struggle. I've never been an organized person. I wasn't raised that way. I was never given chores. In fact, I don't think anyone ever checked to see if my homework was done. I just kind of breezed through school with a B or two and mostly C's and D's. I had no accountability. Even my teachers passed me because I was nice and very polite and likable.
So now I feel like I'm having to act like my own parent. I have to make myself do things that most people have had to do their whole lives. At 41. It's embarrassing and a lil funny but also kinda sad. I'm going to keep track here, so I can look back and see progress. I mean, I should look around my home and see it but it will be nice to be able to put it down here.
The one big job looming over my head is our spare room. It's FULL of boxes we never unpacked and anything else you might accumulate in 6 years and then decide you don't have room for. A whole room. Full of stuff. Due to my bad lower back, I have been ignoring it. But I'm going to do it by quadrant and my husband is going to help.
Things I've done so far:
I cleaned out under our bed. Oh my god. What a mess. Books, pens, lost socks, jewelry that fell off the headboard. (disorganized girls just toss earrings anywhere when they take them off at night), a bad carpet beetle infestation. 1,000,000 old tissues, also from the headboard.
I made a WW menu for a day and I'm going to repeat it daily.
I bought an earring caddy (for said earrings) and a jewelry box. No more lost jewelry under the bed.
I got bags to store under the bed and put my sheets and quilts in it.
I straightened up my craft room. This is part of a larger project there. I want to streamline this room which is PILED with stuff I don't do.
I made my list of things that have to be done to keep things clean and organized. First I have a lot of mess to sort out so that happens first. With the exception of that spare room. That will be my last project.
