So the other day I was having a bad day…you know the kind where nothing seems to go right and you think you should have probably not have gotten out of bed. The kids were fighting….the baby crying….the dog barking….on and on and on. I was suffering mother’s guilt because at one point I was yelling for no other reason than to make myself feel better. Bad, bad, bad. Well about 3:00 in the afternoon I had had it! I NEEDED A BREAK. I got the baby to go down for a nap finally, the older two were watching a movie and I needed to clear my head. How do I do that…..the only way I know how. I immediately went into my study and started throwing paper on the floor…..anything I could get my hands on…..picture me circling the room grabbing and tossing, grabbing and tossing…..paper flying everywhere…..contents of my filing cabinet…my to file pile…..receipts….mail…..magazine clippings……you name it…..the pile was pretty huge and I dug in and started my sort and purge process. I was in the ZONE! In that moment I could feel my heartbeat slowing down and my brain fog start to clear…..ahhhh I could breath again. By 4:00 I was a whole new person and my study was a whole new room. This time when I yelled down to the kids it was to say “anybody want to go get a slushy?” Mommy was back!

isn’t the BEST kind of therapy once that makes you happier about your life after you’ve done it? I find a good walk, a good purge or a good snuggly with DH can make all the difference in the world.. and much less guilt than Hagen Dasz 😉
Cheers!

I’m glad to have stumbled on your site, because I’m an organizing junkie wanna-be! I WISH I were like you, but I’ll have to keep plugging away in baby steps, over the years. You encourage me, and I’m looking forward to reading more of your ideas/suggestions on getting organized!
