I know exactly how you feel.

I bought a load of shelving and I am turning a spare room in my basement as a storage locker...organizing, labeling the works.  What we don't need is being donated. 

We live in a century home that is being renovated...chaos.  I run my business out of my home...more chaos and we have a very active 2 year old.  The only thing to do is simplify.

...and then I have to go outside and sort out that mess!  It's never ending.

Good Luck.  If you discover any tips along the way please share.  I need all the help that  I can get as well.

Hi Jenn: You've have alot to deal with lately.  You will have the house in order in no time, barring unforseen circumstances (get the hubby to take the kids out of town for the weekend, unplug the phone).
My stresses  are varied...son in jail, other son & his family, no job, losing the close relationship shared with a friend are  things that bother me, for starters. 
It seems that when I keep in touch with God's word, life seems more calm.  I have been avoiding the Bible lately; my life is way more empty when I push God's love away.

Having a messy house just indicates your life is out of order or in disarray. I hope things cam down for you Jenn.

My major stress lately has been my computer. I took it to the Mac shop. They don't let you make an appointment over the phone. You have to do it online. Unfortunately, they LOST my appointment date. I didn't get one of the "genius" techs. I got a sweet guy who works on the floor. He checked it over and said there wasn't a thing wrong with it.

Well, there were a million people in the store. There were all these great electronic noises and  all these new and interesting things to look at.  I kinda lost my mind and couldn't tell him what my troubles were. (I was totally distracted and just a tiny bit in love?)

Here I am back and unable to send e-mail!

With my luck, I'll probably get tennis elbow and I don't even play tennis.  ARGHHHHHHH!
