Holiday Buzyness

I am drowning in sorting and organizing. We moved everything over to the barn and I just LOVE it, but it just got moved over there and dropped. Now I am going through the long arduous process of putting everything in it's proper place and order. It all takes time and light. Hopefully I'll have lights strung up in there today.
So it seems that is all I do at the moment.
On top of everything else, I MUST reorganize my educational stuff. I have more tutoring work that I know what to do with at the moment and I need to get my stuff easily. Right now things are a bit disheveled.
Lastly, we have a very special guest coming for Thanksgiving and we will have a 1 year old staying with us. I need to get things at least a little baby proof.
We will be starting to decorate for Christmas this week. Thankfully that was all organized after Christmas last year.
My organizing inundation is the long result of several geriatric relatives passing on over the last 5 years and the collections they left behind. Very creative people leave behind a beautiful legacy but they also leave behind a lot of STUFF.
However, I think I can safely estimate that by New Year's 2011, the STUFF we will have around the Kalinowski spread will be stuff we want and enjoy and not everyone elses collections they could never part with.
Make no mistake I am very appreciative for the STUFF as it has brought a huge lifestyle improvement to Rakieta & co. and others who needed things, but it is very exhausting to store it, especially when the parties who originally owned the STUFF were very stingy and possessive in life. That residue hangs around even after they have moved on to be with our Father.
Well, it is fully daylight now so I must say "Bonjour" and get busy with my very active day.
