Today I had no intention of digging through papers in various rooms in my house. But apparently my circumstances had a different plan. So far I have not come across exactly what I am looking for and it is quite an important document that I cannot believe I have misplaced. The last time I remember seeing it was about a year ago, so there's no telling where I set it down since I obviously did not put it back where it belongs. The thing is, in my heart I wish to be organized. Very, very organized. And in my classroom, I am. However, I (pretend) that I don't have the time to become that organized at home. I may appear organized at times and there was a time at which I had a "control journal" from Fly Lady which helped me keep the house clean for about 3 weeks until I said forget it! And a time after I went to hear a professional organizer speak at a PTL meeting when I got our shoes under control and for the most part, most important and necessary school items. I even used her idea for collecting school papers and artwork...unfortunately I didn't keep up with it and it turned into a huge pile of papers and artwork in my closet. I went through some of it today and threw away two and a half garbage bags full of schoolwork. And that was pretty much just first grade. I found that I put all of the Kindergarten paperwork in the under the bed storage without sorting it last summer. Ugh. Sadly, after going through multiple files and piles, I still haven't found that ever important document that I need. And now I'm going to have to admit to my husband that I can't find it. Yes, I can get a replacement but it's going to take time and I think I really need it TODAY. So no, there's really not spring cleaning going on in my house...it's more like a frantic search which is making me very frustrated.
