Clutterbug

I should be in bed sleeping already. But it's finally quiet in my house...and I get so very little quiet time. Steve had back surgery yesterday. It was a relatively "non-invasive" procedure (if back surgery can be non-invasive) so he's home already. He already feels so much better. It's such a relief to know my honey won't be suffering anymore (fingers crossed, we still won't know just how much it helped until he's healed). He had a severely herniated disk that has been pushing on his nerves for over a year now. Poor guy has been miserable for so long. He went to bed a while ago, doc has him on percocet and it makes him sleepy.

I managed to sort through all of my Mary Kay stuff since I'm giving up that idea. It was taking up 2 drawers so that's quite an accomplishment I think. I have a huge paper due on Wednesday that I haven't even started yet so I don't know if I'll get any decluttering done this weekend. The house is pretty much a pig sty right now. The mess, the clutter, the lack of organization is such a source of stress for me which in turn stresses out the whole family. Maybe I'll alternate homework with decluttering in 30 minute segments. That's what FlyLady suggests and it seems to keep me from getting frustrated. We'll see. I've had almost an hour of being able to fiddle on the computer without kids climbing on me or demanding something, maybe I'll try to sleep now.
