The Best Nest

In a few short months, a baby will be sleeping in my walk-in closet.

This means some serious organizing.

Living in the same home for almost 4 years means we also need to do some serious decluttering.

Last night, while talking with Billy about the closet and how I was thinking we could arrange it, I suddenly realized we had no place to put baby's clothes.

How did I overlook that?!

For the next half hour, I sat stewing about it.

I went to bed.

I still couldn't stop thinking about it.

I finally got up and went into the closet.

I figured out where the clothes could go. I just need to move/get rid of some things.

I sat down on the edge of my bed and started a "nesting" list.

(Let's face it. Once baby is here I won't be doing anything other than taking care of baby and siblings for about 6 months. So whatever I don't get done before June, will be waiting until 2011.)

Today I started working on my list.

I have a small pile of things for the Goodwill already.

I have one small shelf cleared in the closet, plus two shelves and a drawer in our computer room neat and organized.

This feels good.
