Nesting, Nesting, Major Nesting

So I am in my second trimester and starting to nest like crazy. I don't remember feeling this way this early on when I was pregnant with my son.....but I just have this incredible need to purge the house of a bunch of crap we never use or need....a trip to the dump and to Goodwill are in my very near future. Then we have to convert what used to be our storage room into our home office so that the spare bedroom can now become our daughter's nursery. And I know that we have 4 months to go....but I want it done NOW!!

And don't get me started on the enormity of the project that is cleaning out all our closets and cupboards. I am only going to attempt one of these tasks a week.....I would do more if my son ddidn't exhaust me like he does.....but one project a week should be good....maybe two if I am feeling particularly anal.

I have to get the mound of receipts that have been piling up on top of the file cabinets organized and filed away for tax season, my closet needs a massive make-over, the kitchen cabinets need to be organized and cleaned out, the under-the-stairs walk-in needs to be overhauled......bathroom cabinets need to be cleared out. It's a lot of stuff!

I just can't believe the amount of stuff that we have accumulated in the year and half we have been in this house! But I think it is going to feel really good to give this house a good "cleansing". I have taken care of the linen closet and my son's bedroom closet already.....filing receipts will happen tonight while I do laundry (multi-tasking baby!). And honestly, it is the receipts that I dread the most. Talk about tedious! But it must be done. So if I am not on here in the next day or two it may be that I have gotten myself lost in a deluge of paper. But I will be back!
