Today I was finally putting all of our laundry away (almost done), and I decided to rearrange some of my clothes in my closet because I noticed the rack, or whatever it's called, was sagging in the middle. Had no idea it would lead to such problems. After I had moved 1/3 of my clothes over to a different rack I saw that the rack had ripped away from the wall in all the spots except for the ends. So we're talking about 4 screws here. So I've decided it's time to simplify and organize my home which I think that will actually lead to less stress. I hate clutter. It makes me crazy, but somehow I can't get away from it. I need like a month vacation just to work on this to get finished. I had already put a bunch of clothes in bags headed for Goodwill and it doesn't look like I even made a dent in my closet. I think what happens is there's a certain fullness I've come to expect in my closet and when it gets a little empty I go and fill it up again with new clothes! Not very bright.
So since I don't have a month to take off from being a mommy, I'll just have to work at it a little at a time and work on one room to the next. I need to hang some things and paint too. I really don't like the paint I have downstairs and have contemplated changing it, but I'm not sure I can stomach the cost. It's not just the cost of the paint, but two new rugs. Rugs that I purchased from Pottery Barn (my favorite store by the way). I wish I could live there and fill my house with all their merchandise. The rugs were on sale, but even so. I don't think I could even do it through e-bay, especially since I want a new camera really really really bad. We'll just have to see. The colors make me feel even more cluttered. It's very warm looking which is nice, but I've learned that I really love cool tones. I think I'm more afraid of changing it and hating it.
Maybe I should start the organizing process first....
