Let's see... Master bedroom pretty much done. Nursery done. Spare bedroom and cluttered closet, done. Last night and a little today, I worked on the craft room. Holy Mary, it was crazy. I just cleaned it out this past summer and had about 4 garbage bags of donations, and about 2 bags of garbage/scraps. I just made another 3 garbage bags for Goodwill, and another bag of trash. It's the smallest room in the house, and by far has the most clutter! It's STILL not quite done, but it's getting there.
I have a hard time in that room cuz it's CRAFTS. You collect stuff for crafting. It is the antithesis to minimalism - crafting. And I like minimal. And I like making stuff. Scrapbooking, knitting, sewing, painting, quilting... seriously. It adds up, people. Today, I got rid of piles of batting that was filling all the shelves in the closet (as opposed to "filling" quilts. Ha.). Yes, I'll probably have to buy more batting someday. But it's such huge stuff, I couldn't keep it.
Today, A's had a tough time taking a nap. She woke up after an hour, crying. And just woke up (after a total of almost 3 hours) crying again. I'm wondering if she's getting sick. While she slept, and while I nursed and rocked E, I started reading "Forbidden" (Ted's new book! Just 2.99 for an ebook right now!). Guilt-free reading because I have to breastfeed is pretty awesome. And so I'm sleepy from sitting still. But not sleepy from the book itself! Pretty action-packed, so far.
Speaking of guilt and other negative emotions, I've been getting over that certain relative's words by just keeping on moving. And cleaning. And praying. And reading the Bible and a devotional. And blogging to myself.
Tonight, finish the craft room. Take the donations and trash out. Tidy the living rooms and kitchen? The realtor is coming TOMORROW night to see the house!! I'm nervous (what if the house is worth WAYYY less than we think? Or, when the house is inspected later on, what if the house has a super serious problem... sinking foundation... leaking roof...? What if it doesn't sell at all?). I'm also excited to get started.
Also, tomorrow am, a newish friend is coming over. And then, Friday am, MOPS time. I'm actually loving the busy-ness of this year so far! ...So far...
