I think I can at least update...

I'm overwhelmed these days.

Momwise: How can our house be so full of clutter. In January, I spent a week emptying the kids closets and gave away bags of things. I want a week in my house without my kids. A week where I wouldn't have to cook for or pick-up after the kids. A week when I could empty their closets again without them whining when I want to give away a toy they haven't played with in the last 6 months.

Schoolwise: I've planned for school some, but I need to make a day trip to a copy center and get everything ready. Our weeks that were the most successful last year all began with me pulling out a file that had been prepped during the summer. With three kids, if I can't produce the nest lesson/page/activity within seconds, I've lost their focus.

Catwise: We've had Rex almost a year. I need to find a vet for him as he'll need his shots soon. And we'd like to take a vacation, but he requires A LOT of attention. It's hard to find a cat sitter that wants to spend a quantity of time with your pet. My mom is out of the question as she'll be going with us. I'm thinking we need to find someone to live in our house.

Knitwise: I wish for more time in the day....

Wow, are we twins? And Hubster is the worst. He complains about the clutter, but contributes to a 1/3 of it!

We just got back from 2 weeks away and our dog stayed with friends. He didn't want to leave his doggy friend to come home with us!

Clutter reigns here too. And we have two dogs that require an insane amount of attention. I think we've found a house/dog sitter, but we never go anywhere, so...

Clutter. Oh man I about came this close to dumping it all in the trash yesterday.

I'm so with you on the clutter and the toys that haven't been touched in 6 months. ::sigh:: The hubby is just as bad. He's constantly ferreting things away, hiding them in the basement so that I won't chunk them.

I completely agree with you Momwise. With the new baby, there has been a lot of cleaning out when I have the energy. Now we are going to be moving, too. (inside scoop) That means all that stuff that I didn't want to go through in the garage also needs to be cleaned out. Good news is we'll be having movers, so at least I don't have to pack everything also.
