So we moved into this house almost 2 years ago and I have never been able to use my 3rd bedroom. Back story... at 17 my family moved to West Virginia... lacking the storage space my old room had, most of my things stayed in boxes... later moved back to NC, and in with my grandparents. Had a room there, and all my things. Moved the rest of my boxes to storage. Moved out with my friend Katie, and eventually got rid of the storage and put all those boxes in the attic. My mother had passed away, and alot of her things got added to the storage, and then to my attic. Moved again, and these boxes just went from one attic to the other. And this last time, when we bought a house, we still just moved the boxes. Except this time there was no attic, only an extra room. Sooo that room has been like a huge closet since we moved in. And since it was already so cluttered, we just kept adding to it.

So on Monday, my sister in law Kayla came over and in exchange for some Olive Garden, she helped me tackle the monster. It took us hours, like 8 and we filled up a truck bed with trash, and my car with stuff for goodwill. It was so hard, because so many things I didn't want to get rid of, but there was no way to justify keeping it... I mean really, some of it I had not even seen in 5 years. And now, with the help of a couple shelves, it's actually mostly organized and the room looks almost bare! (Course, there are still a few homeless boxes of things I couldn't get rid of) but wow... I have a whole new place to organize my stash... and a table for my craftiness... I am thinking about moving my desk in there to so I can have peace when I want to write letters or read or whatever...

Oh wait, I have a 3 year old... there will never be peace will there...

I am so excited, I just bought the lining for my bag I am almost finished with. I joined a KAL for bags thinking well, that will motivate me and help me make a couple Christmas gifts. Well yeah it was motivating but I still have to many things going on at once to finish any of them quickly. I knit one pattern repeat, then switch projects... but then when I get near the end of one, I can't put it down... I only put the bag down because I had to... when I get tooo tired I get clumsy and I am not in the mood to frog. I am going to finish it by monday, since that's my most productive day. I am home while Derrick works, so I actually have time.

Oh well. I really need to sleep if I want to get up in the morning.
