Well another weekend is over and once again I got nothing I wanted to do done. Why is it I make grand plans to get so much stuff done on the weekends, and when I comes down to it, I play with the boys, and do little else? Is it the guilt of having to work during the week and them going to bed shortly after I get home? Is it my desire to just hang out and be lazy, or is it my inner self wanting to be doing anything except sorting through toys, clothes and just junk that needs to be sorted before Christmas and Birthdays bring more toys, clothes and junk. I just don't know.
What I do know is that right now, the boys have no room for more toys, I need to find a way to organize what they have and get rid of what they don't play with. My poor house is busting at the seams, and sadly it is my fault. I buy so much for the boys and generally they play with the same few toys over and over again. I just love to see them have fun and new toys seems to do the trick. It seems like we can't leave Target, Walmart or even the grocery store without some sort of new and exciting play thing. So my goal on the weekends is always to sort and dispose of.
Well this morning I had a wonderful idea. R is going out of town this weekend so little R and I are going to go through his toys on Sunday and do a major purge. I am going to try to explain to him about how some kids aren't as lucky as he is and then he and I are going to take all the old toys that are still in good shape to the local women's shelter so the little boys and girls can have gifts to. I am hoping this will work, he is really starting to understand this point so I am praying by next Monday we will be able to walk through his bedroom and maybe just maybe open his closet door. A mom can dream right...Stay Tuned!
