Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping, into the future...

I don't know what my deal is.  I used to be so on top of things.  Lately I have been so passive and I've let things slip away.  Take my kids' birthdays for instance.....they have yet to write thank you notes and my son's was six weeks ago.  I'm sure my parents check the mail daily for his thank you....but when the kid can hardly complete his homework on time, how are you supposed to have him write a letter?

I cleaned out a kitchen drawer today.  The dreaded tupperware drawer.  I bet it's been over a year since I tackled that one.  Before I started, I could hardly close it.  It was overflowing with lids. Guess what?  Out of all the tops and bottoms, I only found six matching pairs.  The rest went into the recycling.  It probably took me 10 minutes, at the most, to clean it out.  I haven't been able to find 10 minutes in the past year?

I never got around to putting away my summer shoes this winter.  I've just piled my winter ones on top of them.  Guess it doesn't make sense for me to switch them now in March.....  

Stuff like this drives me crazy, yet it's so overwhelming that I don't know where to begin.

Don't even get me started in our basement crawl space or garage.  Both spaces are very useable when they aren't filled to the sides.  I actually called the dump today to see how much it costs to rent a dumpster for a week.  I think that is where all of this crap is headed.  (That is if it can't be recycled or donated.)  UGGGHHHH!
