...we're on the mend. Izzy's off at school, George is bopping around the house (I should have sent him to school) and I'm not hurting in so many places. Hallelujah!
So today is catch up day. Mail mostly...seriously, I'm drowning in it! I remember as a kid thinking I could hardly wait til I would get my own mail....oh, what a naive child I was...
I know the "touch it once" rule...the problem is the stuff you can't deal with right then, but need to deal with in the future. A magazine here, a catalogue there...and then there's school papers...the bane of my existence. Every sheet of paper that comes home from school needs to be looked at. A cute story, homework, letter from PTA, note from the teacher, "read it and throw it away", you say?? Ha...I'm the queen of telling my kids how much I love the story they wrote, or the picture they drew, as I'm throwing it away, but you can't do that to everything - can you? Some letters have "dates to remember", upcoming events to know about, what do I do with those? Get organized? Have a calendar nearby to write everything on? Oh, I have a million ideas. The problem is this: I procrastinate. Kind of what I'm doing now...writing about catching up, but not actually doing it now.
Oh well, I'll deal with it all later...
the book I'm reading is calling my name.

A cover is nice, but a cover is not a book.

you know what you could do....pick up a nice storage cabinet, which to the eye would appear to be your solution to all the "clutter" and "school papers", and then just not use it and stack everything on your kitchen counter:)
