But, I am totally justifying it. Because it is going to serve a very important purpose. It is to help me with another one of my 2011 Goals, "Kids School Papers".
Like I said, I have papers everywhere. LOTS of school papers, LOTS of artwork, and LOTS of memories. I seriously have boxes and boxes of the stuff.
Random boxes around the house
My last attempt of trying to organinze
Baby Books/Boxes/Photo Albums
Notice (1987) yes, memories from my past
More random boxes
And yes, more random boxes - I know, it's a weakness of mine!
My camera is going on the tripod and I will take lots and lots of photos. I am keeping the memory, without having to keep the actual memory.
My "other blog" is my memory book of the past. Things I want to get rid of, but can't. It's funny how a silly little piece of paper, or movie ticket, or hospital wristband would mean something to me . . . but I hold onto it, because they are little pieces of my children's lives. And I refuse to become a hoarder, so on to my solution :)
So I'm going to think of it as my Online Scrapbook of Memories Past. It'll mean more to me then any of you, but it's there, so if you want to take a look from time to time, be my guest :)

Also, I have finished the kitchen. I went through EVERYTHING! I packed up 5 boxes, have 2 boxes of stuff to sell on eBay and got rid of the extra cabinet (I know you're proud of me KT). My lent goal is to pack 2 boxes a day, eBay 10 things a day and clean the entire house in 40 days. Yes, I know . . . that's 80 boxes packed, 400 things on eBay, and 12 rooms in 40 days . . . but I don't sit or sleep as much as I should, so I think it might be do-able :) I'm not Catholic, but I follow Clover Lane, and again, got inspired . . . I'm starting to think that I'm ADHD, but I think that is sometimes a good thing when you're an adult :) . . . . I also drink LOTS of coffee!
