Thread Name: Declutter & Fitness - Clearing Out the House
Subject: RE: Declutter & Fitness - Clearing Out the House
I did some decluttering at work today. People have a habit of dropping things off that they no longer can use, especially baby items. While I am thankful to get many of them to share with expectant clients, I am tired of all the gear cluttering up my cubby! The only remaining item is a brand new can of powdered formula.....feels good to get it all out and to people who can use the items.

I have also rearranged my schedule so that I have more time at home in the afternoons with Jeremiah.....I like this SO much better! We have time to get chores done, play a bit and I have the time and energy to make a decent meal. Tonight I made 2 meals so I won't have to cook again this week. I have a chicken roasting in the oven along with some baby carrots with a touch of brown sugar. In the crockpot, I have a new recipe simmering away....chicken and dumplings. That won't be ready until about 9:00pm. Depending on what time Pete gets home, that may be our dinner. Jeremiah will be in bed by then but he will be most happy with the roasted chicken, carrots and corn on the cob.

I also cleaned out my car. I had purchased some fall/Halloween items this weekend and they finally found their new homes. :) Some for here and some for at work.

I added one more bag of clothes to go to Sally's...I'm determined to be rid of the clothes that no longer serve a purpose (too big, too small, don't like, outdated, never will wear again, etc). It's slow going but not bad for working 50+ hours a week and taking care of normal chores.
