You have three days left! Friday is the season finale around here of the 30 Day Organizational Challenge! Here is a poem I wrote for last season’s challenge. I hope it gives you that little extra motivation you just might need as we near the end of this competition. Can you tell the finale of DWTS has got me all revved up!
The Big Push
From this junkie to you
Please don’t be blue
When I cut to the chase
And get into your faceListen to my urging
It’s time to get purging
You have too much stuff
Way more than enoughIt’s taking over your life
And causing too much strife
Remember you are the boss
Time to kick out the chaosThink about a buying freeze
Please, please, please
No more, no more
Coming in the doorWhat’s holding you back
Don’t give me any flack
Stop your muttering
And get declutteringI want you to see
What doesn’t have to be
It’s time to be aware
Of the clutter everywhereYou don’t have to have a fit
About getting rid of it
You only have so much space
To put everything in placeDon’t quit on me now
And don’t have a cow
All you have to fear
Is my kick in your rearPeace and harmony
Is how it should be
Isn’t that the key
To a happy familyThis challenge you’re on
Is just about gone
The end is almost near
You’d better get it in gearTry to have some fun
While getting it all done
Happy organizing today
That’s all I have to say!

You can edit your post, then on the bottom right of the screen is the time stamp area. Just manually change it and save the post and it should fix the time for you.

I had a strong start and I slowed down…better get going again. 😀

I’m getting there. I don’t think my basement will really be “done” but it is getting decluttered. We decided to wait til spring to call the hauler because there’s too much snow, and we have a bunch of things out in the shed (left behind by previous owners grr) that needs to go too and in other rooms of the house, but I have alot of stuff ready to go to the charity and alot has been thrown out. :)Well, I will post about it later this week!
Twisted Cinderella says
Cute poem!
I am actually doing so well that I am thinking of adding the one room in the house I didn’t do this month! I love how organized my house got this month and it is all due to your challenge. I took it a step further and organized a LOT! Thank you!

Being as I just recently found this blog, I missed this challenge, but I look foward to the next one 🙂
Dawn says
I can’t believe I am almost done. All the major stuff is done, I just need to go shopping tomorrow and buy a couple of hooks and maybe a basket or two. I already feel a huge weight lifted off of me having this room done.
It Coulda Been Worse says
I too look forward to the next one. I’ve started to tackle my homeschooling storage/workspace situation. It isn’t pretty.
Holy smokes, though. A brand new IKEA just opened one short hour away from me. Be still my heart. And hide the credit card.
