after hanging up the phone, and later in the day, i had a conversation with keri. dear. wise. keri. as i started to whine she asked, "you do have a list made of all that you have to do before you leave, don't you?" "no. i don't even feel like i know what should be on the list." sympathetically she didn't push me and we finished our conversation. gratefully, i did hear her words, and by the end of last night, i had two lists started. one for today and tomorrow. one for things i don't want to forget that i need to take care of before june 23rd.
then i thought i would take it one step further and give myself some deadlines to finish the cleaning/clearing out process. i printed three calendars. i'm sure i was a little off in the time i gave myself to finish my cleaning projects, but at least, i have a dead line to work toward! i feel like i can breathe a little better this afternoon.
also, for anyone who is interested, i have cleaned thru one of my storage rooms, and have filled some tables in my garage. if you think you would like to take a look, come over, and have anything you would like. or call me and i will put something aside for you! whatever is still in the garage tuesday evening, will find a new home at d.i. i imagine i will have to do this one more time when i finish my kitchen and other storage room.
i just love these big, wooden puzzles!
some boyds bears bunnies.
a set of dishes. also not pictured, two eyelet twin bed comforters.
two big evergreen garlands. in great shape. barely used. :)
lots of decorations, christmas ornaments, placemats, quite a variety of things!
here's to staying on my schedule, and accomplishing much! breathe susan, just breathe!

I am so impressed! who needs 68 more days? I love when I'm organized & i'm not right now so i'll just live through you! hope these next 68 days go slow.... ;)
What can I do to help? I can clean (well I'll probably send Coco and we can go to lunch), load boxes, deliver boxes to DI, bring lunch, give you one of my extra Massage Envy massages (I'd offer to give a massage but that would be creepy), anything at all.
I think I am like you...I wouldn't really know where to start. I usually can't put the pedal to the metal unless I see the starting line looming in front of me!
Give me call if you think of anything!
you'll be ok mom. it'll all be ok.
even if i would trade my parking spot in the garage to keep you home for awhile longer.
i love you :) if you need i'd be HAPPY to take some time of work to come help....... or just keep you company.
good luck! I wish I lived there to come take a peek at your stuff! You can do it!
Susan - you are doing so well! I can't imagine doing all that is expected of you right now. You are such a great example!!!
So it may have taken a mission call to do some serious cleaning...doesn't it feel good? I mean ALL of it! You and my friend Rhonda are both amazing women...people to look up to and be encouraged by. xoxo
I LOVE your lists! I have to make lists if I have a lot to do, but yours are great with the calendars along with them! I would be over to your garage, but I already have serious storage/organizational issues. (Yikes!) But it is great you are doing this. Good luck. And we are praying for you! :)
