Thanks for all the great supportive comments, yesterday. IT is hard to let people really see inside my mind when I am spinning. I don't like being judged for something I try so hard to control.
It is who I am, and I live with it everyday. Most days are great, but sometimes the beast comes out and fixates on the stupid.
I called my eldest and told her about wanting to clean out the closet. She said "MOM, tell me you did not empty the master closet!" I told her no, but I wanted to. She set me straight as only she can. Having grown up under my tutelage, I can't imagine what her childhood would have been like. But I did create the youngest prosecuting attorney in the state of Idaho at 24. Probably due to my dilemma. She loves me anyway. And she can make me laugh at myself, which is such a blessing.
I spend as much time laughing at myself, as I spend beating myself up mentally.
I did manage to get many dresses ready for try on. I think I will have at least 3 fittings today and then I can finish and move on.
I stayed on track and after I got the quota done I put the sofa back together.
I was so excited as it was rather dingy. I just washed two cushion covers at a time in the washer and then line dried. I was so afraid of wrinkles and shrinkage, but none! It looks brand new and to think I have a spare cover! This sofa will last forever.
I am now thinking of buying a covered sofa for the Front room now. I want a good quality hide abed in there. The ones that I have found are all covered sofa's. Well I am sold.
I need to get in and get a bride dress finished, she just left! Attache that lace my friend.
Stay on task.
It does work if you work it. But so hard.
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

Can I ask what brand of sofa that is and even more so what sofa sleepers you’ve found with slip covers. My daughter had a IKEA sofa that looks like your blue one that they just relegated to their basement as they just got a new one but at 10 years old it’s still in amazing shape and she’s washed the cream covers several times.
ReplyDeleteThe blue one was from Peir One which of course is out of business. I am shocked at the quality. The one I am looking at is from Wayfair. I just ordered swatches, but I want to research whether you can order new covers. Wouldn't it be nice to have a spare in a different color?
DeleteWhat is a covered sofa? What other kind is there? Maybe you don't need a keeper since you have your daughter. Don't empty any closet!
ReplyDeleteYou are so bossy, A sofa that you can take all the covering off even the outside and wash.
DeleteI try to be your boss! So, it is slipcovers. Can you use the sofa without the slipcovers? I would like a sofa with slipcovers so I could measure them and make slipcovers myself. But, at this point in my life, buying extra slipcovers would probably the best plan.
DeleteYay for daughter for helping keep you on task! Kudos for being the youngest prosecutor in the state! I think I am one of the oldest… lol. Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteOh Cindy, I want to meet you someday, you and I could have so much fun.
DeleteLol. Yes we would! Cindy in the South
DeleteIf I told any of the kids I wanted to clean out the closet they would commit me. We have NO closets YET in this house after 4 yrs of moving in. Maybe we shouldn't as wardrobes definitely limit what you store
ReplyDeleteWell I feel like I do need to be committed somedays.
DeleteGreat job Kim!! Remember one bite at a time on that list.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying, I wish it would get easier, but until I get through June I don't think it will.
DeleteIt sounds like you raised an awesome daughter - she's likely grown up with a greater understanding of mental health thanks to you, Kim.
ReplyDeleteYour work on the couch is amazing! It's always better to keep on using things than to have to buy a new one.
I personally enjoy a good closet clear-out, but it has to be planned for!
I really enjoy a good closet clear out also, but not when I am behind like I am. My daughter says, I create work. She is right!
