decluttering

 Life has been busy, although I'm not entirely sure with what.  It's hard to believe that is September already.  Where did summer go?  I am happy to move on to fall though... it's usually my favorite season of the four.  At the moment the house feels completely upside down.  I am trying to get the baby room ready while I have time.  Who knows if I will end up on bed rest again.  I rather have everything ready to go now then be madly scrambling after the baby is born and I'm sore.  For the last 2 years the baby room has been the storage room.  Anytime I didn't know what to do with something, I put it in that room.  And now trying to sort through everything seems like a daunting task.  I have already made a trip to the RCS thrift store with a car full of junk lovely treasures that I'm sure someone else would love to have :)  Our church is sponsoring a refugee family from Africa (I forgot where exactly) and we are still waiting for their arrival.  A list has been made of things needed to furnish the apartment for this family so I'm trying to save some items for them, but I honestly don't know where to put it since I'm trying to empty the spare room, not fill it.  I was contemplating taking a "before" picture of the room but am too embarrassed as to the actual state of the room.  I need to let go of more I think.
