The problem is I am obviously NOT thinking! I am sitting here playing out NEXT Christmas in my mind. Yes, I am! What in the world is wrong with me? I haven't even put all the junk away that we got this Christmas so why would I even think of NEXT Christmas? Oh yes, that is right, because I keep seeing all these fabulous pictures from everyone else about their Christmas. I keep seeing how everyone else did so much better with only getting a few things and not over running their home with shit! Yes, I just said it, SHIT! Even though we have moved into a bigger home, I don't want shit everywhere. I can't stand it! I want the house clutter free and clean, which right now is NOT happening! My whole dining room table is covered in shit - Christmas gifts that people gave us, Christmas decor that I haven't boxed up yet, JUST COVERED! My goal was to have this stuff out of here. My goal was to buy less for the boys - yes I did that but I still bought WAY too much and I mean WAY too much! If I would have only bought what they wanted, what they asked for, I would have been so much better off and so would my house! Now I am looking for storage solutions for Lego's and Imaginext and Toy Cars and Playmobil and Action Figures and the list goes on and on!
Next Christmas when I start talking about favorite toys and how my boys are going love all the wonderful things they didn't ask for but that I bought anyway...please remind me of this post! Please send me packing right back here to tell me they don't NEED it or WANT it! Remind me that they will be getting presents from aunts & uncles and grandparents and they will have more than enough, because next year I don't want to feel this way about all the shit in my house!
