Stuff

Right now I have just so much stuff I want and need to get done. I am planning on getting up earlier so we can get school done earlier. Right now I need some extra time to get some things done. I have a list and it just keeps growing longer and not much is getting scratched off....so I am going to do a temporary schedule to get caught up. I am going to try to leave a chunk of time in the afternoon for my list :-) Here is my list so you can get an idea of what I am talking about:


-Finish putting up fall decor (before it is Christmas time..he he)
-Clean out and organize all cupboards and drawers in the kitchen
-Organize both children's bedrooms
-Clean out entertainment center
-get some stuff up for sale on e-bay
-finish sewing 3 yr old's dress and start 8 yr old's dress
-Go though current clothes and pack away summer clothes
-Go through EVERYTHING in basement ....and sort...Giveaway ~ Throw away ~ or sell what I don't NEED or TRULY ENJOY!!
-Do the same as above to the rest of the house.
-Clean out coat and shoe closet get rid of stuff that is too small
-Clean out and organize mine and Dh's closets
-Go through ALL books and get rid of any that I don't want
-Sell curriculum that I no longer want

I am really wanting get rid of a lot of STUFF....I don't have much compared to what most people have in America but for me it is still too much. I don't want to spend hours in my day cleaning, organizing, moving around, picking up, looking for STUFF. STUFF has just become a burden for me...I would rather have fun with my family, spend time with the Lord and live life than worry about things.

I really don't think God intended for us to spend hours everyday cleaning and picking up our things because I really don't believe that he intended for us to have so many things.
