I was not here much today because I was cleaning out the closets in the house. I took out all of my kids summer clothes, went through them and I am going to sell the items that are too small on them now... I got a ton done in the house which is why I was not here most of the day! I missed being here with all of you but I am so glad I got that done!

I got some motivation out of no where! Lol. I wasn't motivated one minute and the next I was ready to get to work. I have no idea how it happened honestly, Lol.
I do feel better now though since all of the winter stuff is put away and the summer stuff is out now. =)
I did get a lot done and I am so happy about it! I hope you get some motivation to get things done tomorrow. :)

i wish i could get some of that out of no where motivation! lol. i am way behind on some things and i am just drained that i cant get motivated.
glad that you are happy and that you have it all done and do not have to worry about it anymore :) that is great!
i am going to try and make it to bed early enough so that i can get up when my husband goes to work and get a lot done before he gets home. i will probably mylot in between if i decide to take a break but for the most part i am going to clean and make myself catch up on things.

I changed out part of my wardrobe the other day. Given how temperatures can go in this region, I didn't want to fully change things out for springtime wear. I will put away the remaining "wintertime" stuff in a few weeks--maybe a month.

I am glad I finally got it done today. It feels good for my closet to actually look good! I understand not wanting to change everything out if there's a chance it can still be cold where you are. Here, I don't think it will change too much. I left a few things out just in case...

A little house cleaning is good. A good exercise even just for a while. I'm sure your friends here missed you too.

Well congratulations LMB! It's always good to get things sorted out so you can make a bit of money to boot. I was busy a few days back and didn't get on here much either. Hope IOU have a good evening.

Thanks PQ! I am so glad it is done now so I don't have to think about it anymore. For some reason I had some motivation earlier and got it all done. =) I feel good about it. I hope your evening is well also.

Thanks! I usually don't have that much motivation, but for some reason I just did yesterday. Lol. I am glad I did because I got a lot done!

Sometimes just taking a break from something we do every day can keep us fresh and it's a break from the routine, and we also appreciate it more! I am glad you got a lot done, I do find that if I move away from the computer I can get a lot more done, especially in the garden, where I am away from the temptation of the computer. You also feel a sense of satisfaction at your achievement which I am sure you do. Welcome back, and on that note I am off to bed!

I really did not want to be away from here. Lol, I just got some motivation out of no where and knew I had to get things done before I never did it! Haha. I put away the winter clothes and took out the summer stuff. =) My closet looks SO much better!
I do feel like I accomplished something today which is nice of course.
Goodnight wolfie, sleep well! =)

I got a lot done today, too. I cleaned up the back porch and the patio furniture. I had a rest and then went back outside and started on the back yard. Still lots to do on it, but at least I've started.

That's good! I had to do the inside stuff today because with my sun burn I didn't want to be outside in the sun again yet. Once this heals up I will be getting my outside stuff done. =)

That is good. I am really bad for procrastinating when it comes to cleaning. I took out the trash, and put one load of clothes in the washer but that was it. I still want to vacuum and sweep and mop. I'd like to wash more clothes if I have the time but I doubt I will. It's good that you will be able to sell those clothes, it will put some money in your pocket.

Thanks! I was glad that I got it done. =) That day I was just really in the mood to get things done, not sure why. Lol. I am not usually that motivated!

i thought you had a day care situation. Doesn't it feel good to have these things done? I am getting up the energy to get into my walk in closet. It needs a good going through. Have put it off a while. Maybe reading this will get me going.

I know this is a few days later but I just have to say...I hate sorting through my kids clothes. As soon as I read your post I automatically felt sympathy...even though you may not mind. We live in Florida so we don't even have "seasonal" clothes really but I just did the big switch a couple of weeks ago for the next larger sizes. I have all the clothes sorted by size in plastic storage bins but it just seems so tedious to me. This time my husband helped a ton but I felt like I had clothes everywhere...if you got it all done in one day you are my hero!!!!

Aw thanks 4ofmyown, I did do it all in one day! I was so happy once it was done. =) I wish my husband was home to help but it felt nice that I got it accomplished. I don't know why I had a ton of motivation to do it!

Good for you. I need to do that with the boys winter clothes and summer clothes. I have been thinking about it for a few weeks now but I have not gotten around to it. My sister has a new baby boy so I will be giving the twins clothes to her. I would like to sell them too but I don't know if they will be in the best shape to sell after she is done with them. I will have to see.

Do you put yours in yard sales or do you go the consignment shop route? I am seriously thinking about putting some of mine in the local consignment shop.

My kids have outgrown so much of their clothes from last year! I'm going to sell the old ones so I can get them new ones for this year. Yeah, it helps to sell them so I can make some money for the new clothes. =) Anything helps!

I have been away from home for 6 days to take care of my mother in law in the hospital. When I got home, I saw atleast 3 basketsful of soiled clothes! I wanted to wash them all at once, but not having slept good for the past days plus the heat, well, I had to do it for two days. But at least now, I have more time to be here.

A house really needs a woman to take charge. It is really never the same without us having to do everything. Although our husbands can extend help in their own small ways, but still, a "woman's touch" is far different.

Aw, I'm sorry about your mother in law. I know whenever I am away from the house for any length of time I notice all of the imperfections and it drives me crazy until its all done!

I've been doing this all week going throw my daughters clothes since I'm always going throw my sons any ways because of his growing all of the time. I resell most all of my kids clothes a few go to my husbands baby cousin like birthdays and such. I just noticed my daughter has nearly no clothes to wear at all for the summer so every Friday my mom buys her a few outfits. Same withnmynnephew and son.

My kids out grew most of their stuff from last summer. My son is the worst though, he has pretty much nothing to wear this year! I am going to go to the thrift store and buy him more clothes with the money I make selling the old ones.

My daughter doesn't have much of anything. Just a small amount if teach shirts and dresses. But I need more. She is two and is very messy where some times she wears two to three outfits a day and my son man he is almost 8 months and is out growing his clothes like crazy so I have a lot of time to sell his clothes since I have so many of his that I gathering up and my mom is always buying them new clothes almost every week. So it's much need.

It is always sooooo nice to get some extra things done. I want to do some spring house cleaning but our weather has made it impossible...you just don't feel like washing windows or curtains when the wind is blowing all the SNOW around! Is it April?
@LovingMyBabies (85288)

Yes it feels so good to get things done! It felt like I accomplished SO much. =) I would not want to do that stuff with snow on the ground either. It is cold here now that we had a storm come in, before that though it was nice outside!

I have ben doing that this past few weks but sporadically. Just cleaning things out and throwing away and going through personal papers - just trying to get things in order. I was away from home for nearly a year due to surgeries and have been so busy with my grandtwins from I came home. They are not here for a few weeks so have been doing the stuff that should have been done months ago. We need to clear. Good luck with your sale.

Yeah, I knew with the way I am if I wait or do a little at a time I would lose the motivation to get things done. That's why I did it right away when I was in the mood to get it done! =)
I hope you get all of your organizing accomplished! I am sure the twins kept you busy so there probably wasn't time to get much done.

I am trying to get my spring cleaning done as well, but I have such bad allergies. Yesterday we went to my nephews Little League game and the wind was blowing so hard that it was picking up dust. I am just taking my time and hope to finish some more tonight and the rest tomorrow night. It feels great having a clean house. I have a lot of my craft items to go through and I know it will take me a couple of days to do because I have a lot of fabric. I missed seeing you on here as well.

Oh, I hate allergies! That is the worst when trying to get things done. I have really bad sun burn so I decided to do things inside to get done instead of working on my yard. Once the burn heals up I will be getting things done outside too. =)
I hope you get your cleaning done as well, a little at a time!

I'm glad that you were able to get a lot done yesterday. We do feel so much better when we are able to really accomplish a task through to the end. Yesterday I was able to things done around the house. Today I will be working on straightening up here and there and keeping up with the dishes.
@LovingMyBabies (85288)

Thanks. Yes I do feel so much better once I got it done! =) Dishes are impossible to keep up with at my house, lol. I wash them and I feel like 10 minutes later the sink is full again! Ugh, so annoying.
