Why is it?...

I ask myself this frequently.

Why is it. . . so hard to let go of things? I don't necessarily consider myself to be a packrat, although I do have my tendencies. Here's the thing that brought it up. Recently after doing laundry, I ran out of hangers, but not clothes to put on them. The true issue isn't so much that as I've bought several things of hangers recently and there just isn't room in my closet. So, today I set about cleaning out my closet and getting stuff ready for a trip to Deseret Industries. I am honest enough to say that there is more I could afford to get rid of (do I really need 4 black skirts?), but at least it's very good start. I tried to be honest enough about what I had worn within the last 6 months - and the last year - and what I hadn't. It's good to at least get a start.

Why is it. . . I find it so hard to keep up with the housework? I am so not a house cleaner. Truth be told, it's very easy for me to say that I'm too tired when I get home and just need to unwind. But, I do have the weekends around the time at Build-A-Bear. Don't get me wrong - I definitely know how to do it, and do it weekly so it doesn't get to be a hassle. I just allow myself to get distracted - not to the point of scary stuff growing or anything like that. It's just extremely cluttered and I'm sure there's some very scary dust bunnies around. Once again, there will be a New Year's resolution involving this.

Anyway, I'd like to think I am not alone in this. I'll just tell myself that I'll do better soon.
