The hubs and I live in a house that's approximately 1200sq ft. It's a decent size for us, since we don't have kids, although I still think it's too small. We are big people, even when we're "skinny" and we have two big dogs and a cat. There is NO WAY that a baby would fit in this house!!! (Yes we have an extra bedroom but it's the computer room and the cat box room so clearly the baby couldn't go there!!!) Obviously, if we had to make room, we would but I really don't want to. I know, that sounds really bad of me but it's true, I don't want to have a baby while I live in this house. It's a cracker box...too small. I'm not saying that I want 10,000sq ft, that's just ridiculous and I don't make and won't ever make enough money to pay someone else to clean it, so there goes that idea. Honestly, I don't need that much space and I don't think that I ever will, I just don't see it...unless we have eight kids or something but I don't plan on that!
Anyway, back to my mission. I am going to declutter my house. Sometimes I think I have a problem, then I watch "Hoarders:Buried Alive" and realize that I don't. I'm just lazy. That is the unfortunate truth...but I am going to change that because being lazy for 33 years is long enough!!! I start looking around me and I start to get completely overwhelmed...but then, I did this to myself so, I can undo it. Yes, it's going to be a long hard road and I am not going to like it, but it must be done. Good bye clutter!!! I'm sure that I will miss it and my house will NEVER be spotless but I can minimize the clutter.
Here's a picture of my desk...just so you have an idea. I'm going to start in my bathroom because it's the smallest room in the house and I am going to be better able to make headway there. This is going to be a process but I hope to have it completed by August 19th. I'll keep you updated!!!
P.S. I have decided on the order in which I'm decluttering: bathroom, bedroom, living room, dining room, den, laundry room, kitchen, computer room!

Good luck with the decluttering. I try and then stuff just multiplies. While I sleep. Or something like that b/c I swear I don't know where all this stuff comes from!
LOL!!! I know, the stuff does multiply, especially if you're getting ready to move or if you've just had a garage sale...that's what happened to me! ;)
