.. that's sooo not the 's' word I want to be using right now. Ya, you know the one. We have too much of it. Especially these children (they are often referred to as 'these children' when I'm less than thrilled). Right now we're in the midst of trying to find a certain pair of brown shoes. You think this would be easy enough, go into your bedroom and get it out of the assigned shoe basket. If only. They're basket runneth over.
I've realized that it's not that my kids are too irresponsible to keep track of their 'stuff', its that I have let the amount get to be too great.I hate when I'm a grown up and have to take responsibility! There is far too much for them to be accountable for. And not just shoes. I'm not a keeper or a hoarder of things. I sort through and give away 'stuff' all the time. However, I have a horrible habit of replacing it. So now as the shoe hunt continues and I sit here thinking about why things like this drive me insane, it's time for a change. Children do not need this many pairs of shoes. And honestly, I don't think they even want that many.
So let the deep cleaning commence... Grant me the serenity to sort through all this 'stuff', the courage to toss the things I do not need and the wisdom to not buy more!
Time for the Big Girl Panties.

I'm so proud of you!
I can loan you my BGP's if you'd like. I'm sick of wearing 'em.
You're right though, kids don't even want that much stuff, it's overwhelming for them. You're gonna do great, this is your area of expertise, organizing!
If I leave another comment will you post some new stuff?!
