Day 3

Yesterday was day 3 of my journey. I had a ton of errands to run, so not much got done around the house. I finally made a daily list of things that I want to get done everyday, 7 days a week, to help me stay on top of my new way of thinking. Cleaning, errands, stuff to do with the girls, anything and everything that I want to accomplish on a daily basis, is on my new lists. I am keeping them in a notebook for easy access and I will update the lists as I go along. Now, onto my clothing situation. Really, how many pairs of socks and underwear does one person actually need? I mean, I have at least 50 pairs of underwear and probably 30 pairs of socks jammed into my dresser drawer. Kids, I understand having a bunch of them, because they are kids and have accidents etc. My husband, I understand too, because he goes into the field for training and goes through socks and boxers probably 2-3 times a day, so him having a bunch isnt a big deal either, but me? Thats just a lot to me!! I am paring down to 2 weeks worth and then a couple extra for those "days" of the month that you just want to be comfy, not sexy. Hopefully, I will have everything gone through (I still have a couple baskets of clothing to go through) by tonight. I am also starting on the garage today. I didnt realize it, but there are still boxes in there from when we moved in (January 2009!!). Kids toys and books are next and thats when the real fun starts, not really, but I have to be positive at some point right? This change has been fairly easy for the last 3 days, but it is getting more difficult with each passing day. I just have to remember to take it one day at a time!! PS, I get my computer back today, so I will be able to update on a daily basis, instead of when I can get to a computer!!
