fighting back with bookcases
Attn: it was brought to my attention yesterday that the Contact form on the SnapShop website has not been working. I did some investigating to learn it has not worked correctly for over a month. It is fixed now; I was able to find all the emails submitted, but it is going to take a few really late nights for me to catch up on those emails. So, if you tried contacting me through the SnapShop website in December or January – I was not ignoring you. I am trying to catch up on all those as quickly as I can. I apologize for that really long delay.
My mind feels cluttered these days with all the things I am juggling. When my mind feels cluttered I try to organize as much of my externals as possible. Right now our home is a construction mess – and not the fun decorating kind of construction. Plumbing issues, windows having to be replaced, drywall sanding in one room, carpet torn out in another. Basically the girls’ room is the only room in the house that does not have some type of not-fun project going on in it.
I’m slowly losing my mind with all the construction clutter.
My desk had become just a pile of stuff. I don’t like piles. I like everything to have its place, but life gets crazy and piles take over. In an effort to fight back, I got rid of my desk and installed bookcases along the whole wall. I’ve still got lots to organize on them, but for now one little section of the bookcases is orderly and clean.
I think I’ll just get a chair and look at these each time all the other rooms overwhelm me.
The bookcases are from IKEA. Hobby Lobby has all its glass craft jar on sale for 50% off this week, so that has been handy. The plan was to have 2 sections with glass doors, but I ended up getting the wrong doors. Now I have to wait until I go back to Texas to get new ones. Two of the bottom sections have standard doors. I use those areas for the inevitable pile of things I need to do.
I sure wish my boys found great joy in organizing things. I also wish they believed that everything should be put in its place. Dreaming of that…..
Happy Friday!!
