me decluttering and chucking stuff from 2 different pantry areas.
I took the kids to school this morning and ran to the grocery store for like 20 things. I got home and started putting those 20 things away and was so overwhelmed by how our 1 pantry was so disorganized that I spent over an hour taking everything out (and chucking some), cleaning it and then putting it all back – but reorganizing it all in the process. This started all because while I was putting the stuff I had bought away, I realized there was no room for any of it. And that drove me nuts. I then went from that pantry to an area over the dryer where we store more food and did the same thing there.
It felt so good to clean and purge and reorganize. I had been planning on doing that in every room (starting in the master bedroom) once the kids went back to school but I just haven’t been able to get started. Partially because I know alot of the stuff in there that I am not throwing out really doesn’t have a home – a place to be stored right now. We desperately need shelves in there, but it’s just not in the budget right now.
I feel so dirty though – the floor of the pantry was SO gross! I found like 2 of those slimy silver fish bugs – BLECH! Now that I started the kitchen though I feel like I have to keep going – the cabinets all need it!
