So much work to do

I have all this stuff I need to do...and it seems like I take one step forward and two or three steps back. Erma Bombeck once said something like, "Cleaning up after children while they are still growing is like shoveling the sidewalk while it's still snowing" and it's TRUE. I spent 3-4 days cleaning the girls' room, and now, 4 days later, you can't even walk across the floor.
How does that happen? It happens when the parents are busy ripping out the carpet of the room whose clutter they finally (almost) had tamed.
ARGH
Now I can't find anything. But I have beautiful wood floors instead of yucky carpet, so that makes it all worthwhile.

I really want to get more organized...I just don't know HOW. It doesn't come easy to me. In fact, it doesn't seem to come at all to me, LOL. I need to file a mountain of paperwork. I need to purge a ton of stuff from downstairs. I need to go though the boxes of clothes downstairs to find some things for Mimi to wear (she insists she that all her current clothes are too small-given that she is 9 1/2 and the clothes are a size SIX, she may be right, LOL). I need to...well the list goes on and on.

Anyway, all that to say if it seems that I've dropped off the planet, it's because I am actually trying to get some of my to do list DONE. Pray for me!
