Friday Fill-ins



1. Right now, I'm feeling tired.
2. Asleep in bed (with Steven) is where I want to be.
3. How does one eradicate years of accumulated clutter quickly and effeciently?
4. The desire to "get my act together" personally, professionally, and psychologically keeps me on track.
5. Please don't categorize me, especially as a "divorced woman" or as a "single mom". I HATE that.
6. Making a difference in the world, in a big or small way, fills me with joy.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to welcoming our new French exchange student, tomorrow my plans include some "me" time, and Sunday, I want to get caught up around here (don't I say that EVERY weekend?)!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Don't think of it as clutter .. view it as acquisitions. And good luck on gettin' rid of it.

Re: "5. Please don't categorize me, especially as a "divorced woman" or as a "single mom"."

You might want to take a look at your "ABOUT ME" there in your right column. Ms. Single mom. ;-)

Giggling. Boy, e.crag sure got you, huh? It's ok. I hate labels too. Especially the kind where I'm...Jill's Mom. Or Jenny's Mom. Or how about Joey's Mom? You know how that is. Especially when they're in trouble for some foolishness. Then you don't want to be anyone's Mom! :hehe:

We're constantly getting rid of clutter, it's a very hard thing for sushi to do, me, not so much, I get rid of it and I'm so glad when I do. Life seems so much simpler with less.

clutter drives me crazy...I'm always purging.

I hope you got caught up and you got some rest. :)

CJ - Yep, you're right! It's winning.

Janet - You know I can't miss my Friday Fill-ins!

E.Craig - Well, then we have "acquired" too much! Ack!

As for categorizing me as a single mom, I meant don't assume I am or am not a certain way just because I'm a single parent. I HATE stereotypes!

Tookie - Yep, with 4 kids I'm always being called somebody's mom! But I don't mind!

Superwoman - I wish I had the courage to just scoop it all up and throw it all away! But I don't!

Rick aka P.S.S. - I can't imagine you with much clutter. Your place always looks so clean and arty!

Lisa - Well, with Steven here, I DID get some extra rest. He was very good about taking care of me. And I did my best to take care of him! (wink)
