First post of 2007!

I know I know I'm starting late. but that's me. Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow, right? WRONG!!! I hate that I am such a procrastinator! And it's going to stop right now! Well right after I get off of the internet. LOL. Anyway seriously! I live in a house. And a poor excuse for one at that. Oh, I'm sure it was real cute in it's hayday. But now it's worn down. Like me. And I am because of it. Well scratch that. I am because of me and the fact that I can't seem to get up the gumption to properly take care of it. That and there is way too much stuff in it. It's the clutter demon and he's sucking the life out of me. Does that sound extreme? Well it is. I used to be a passionate, lively girl. Now there are very few days when I actually change out of my jammies. I look around and get overwhelmed and depressed. And it's not even stuff that I love! I barely like any of it. Just stuff we had to have at the time and it's slowly taken over our house. We are going to put the house on the market this Spring. Besides being cluttered and worn, we've outgrown it and we need a bigger yard and better neighborhood. But before we can put it on the market, it has to be decluttered and cleaned. I am sick and tired of living each day just to go back to bed! I told my husband that we are going to get rid of everything that we don't absolutely need or love! And that's that! I hope he cooperates. I've just in the past few months come to the knowledge of the home I truly want. Filled with beauty and happiness and hospitality! A home that I am happy to come home to. That others enjoy being in. And before company I don't have to frantically clean for an hour and still apologize for the mess when they arrive. I want a home that encourages me and doesn't give me that hopeless feeling that I'm all too accustomed to. And you know what? I will have it. I know I will! That is my goal for 2007. Thanks for taking time to read this. I hope I haven't too terribly depressed you.
