To Get Organized

OK 9am Wednesday. I have got to organized my teaching stuff. I go thru this every June. Got up made coffee, toast. Sat down turned on lap top and tv. Breaking news. Deleted all last years folders. Still a pile of papers, books and learning games in my office and bedroom. I have been trying to clean this house since last week and I only have until this Saturday. It's good that the weather is cloudy and crummy. But why do we have such a hard time throwing stuff away? I have saved little scraps of paper kids in my classes have gifted me. I have saved Education articles since 1983. This stuff is so outdated, and is probably available on the internet. I am convinced the reason why this place sounds like a TB ward is because we have so many chachkies covered with dust (not to mention 2 cats, 2 dogs and 3 peeps) I've got to go get organized. NOW
