Today is December 31st and tomorrow begins a new month and a new year. January is National Get Organized Month, so today is your last chance to be disorganized! Skip picking up after the kids for the 337th time this Holiday break, keep the vacuum cleaner in the closet one more day, procrastinate just a bit longer on finding a place for all the new Christmas gifts and ignore the things that are moving in your fridge. Goodness knows how long those leftovers have been marinating in the fridge. Did we eat that on Christmas eve? What day IS today?
I know I have high hopes of clearing out clutter in 2008, re-organizing files, organizing photos, deleting at least 2008 of the 3547 messages in my email box. But, for today, I am going to just rest in the knowledge that December begins with a "D" for a reason..."disorganized". With kids home from school and late nights with relatives and friends, pjs are the clothing standard till at least noon and not a lot of things are getting organized. I am sure January starts with "J" because when 7:00 a.m. rolls around tomorrow on the 1st of January, I am going to be juiced to get things in order, although, the kids are off until January 3rd this year. I may just have to procrastinate another day or two. I will get it together and I promise you, I will pass on all the organizational tips I can. Just so you know, when you get out of your pjs at noon today, like me, don't frantically rush to The Teachers' Lounge. We are closed today, 12/31/2007 and tomorrow 1/1/2008. The doors will be open at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, just in time to help our teachers get their classrooms organized for January!
