Tackling the mile long to-do!

Monday began crunch time for me in terms of cleaning house. Three weeks ago, a few of my friends and myself sat down and decided together that this would be our yard sale week. Every bedroom, with the exception of mine, has been sorted through and put into piles like those on Clean Sweep- things to keep, throw away and yard sale. As a family, we have way too much stuff. Jeff and I are simple people, who love organization and despise clutter. So many areas of our current home are far too “cluttered” in our eyes, but we hoping to change that all very soon. Room by room, I will be eliminating things we no longer want/need and re-organizing the rooms. I should take before/after photographs, but honestly, I just never remember to do that.

Aside from having a yard sale this week, I am also buckling down for final exams. Is it really time for this semester to be coming to an end? Time has flown so quickly that I cannot even wrap my head around it. Last week, I registered Ethan for classes during the mornings (possibly afternoons too) and found myself sulking in the car afterward for nearly twenty minutes. Did my baby really just grow up that quickly? We go Thursday for his physical for school and have yet to schedule a dental exam (must do that soon).  He is beyond excited about going to school and cannot wait to learn more about anything and everything.  We shall see how he feels after a few weeks into it.. although, I am quite certain he’s still going to be in awe.
