So.
What Now?
I started this blog, full of good intentions, the week BEFORE Christmas 2011.
The house was a MESS. Christmas was a week away. I had NO idea HOW I was going to find space for the Tree, WHERE I had put most of the presents bought in advance, and I was TIRED!!!
Tired of the mess.
Tired of the hassle.
Tired of all the bad temper from my children and my husband....and me.
Tired of climbing over ALL the STUFF everytime we wanted to get to the window to open or close the curtains, of moving a pram from the doorway ever time someone called.
I was DETERMINED the Christmas 2012 would be better.
That the House would be more organised - emptier of mess.
That relationships would be less fraught - after all, we would have space and organisation.
That we would have had FUN...because I would know WHERE I had stashed the pressies for the Elves to bring (and have found the Elves in time for the beginning of December rather than the last minute attempt to bring them into our Christmas as usually happened!)
What Happened?
.........Not........A......Lot!
Sigh.
It's now the week AFTER Christmas 2012.......and the house doesn't look much different to the way it did when I started this project.
I still have a garage you can't get into.
I still have a storage unit draining my finances (and I still have NO finances!)
I still have boxes and bags of STUFF.......EVERYWHERE!!!
So.
New Year.
New Resolution.
New Attempt.
But now only 50 weeks to Christmas (well, OK, 51 if you count this week....that's already started!)
Can I do it?
For the sake of ALL of us in the house......I'd better!
