DAUNTING TASKS

  The shoe closet (also known as the coat closet) and the bookcase are waiting for me to organize them.  Although we are well into May, winter boots are still out on the shoe self in the entryway, waiting to be replaced by white sneakers and flip-flops.  And the bookcase?  I glanced at it smugly the other day, having gotten rid of many books we no longer need, either through Goodwill or our neighbor lady looking for books for her three-year-old grandson, but it now looks smugly at me as piles of books from this week's library and homeschool curriculum used books sales sit on the floor or on the dinning room table.  My goal is to attack the shoe closet today and to have the bookcase organized before the beginning of the new school year.  But, it's rainy and cool today, and we still have homeschool work for this year to finish, and there's laundry, and lunch, and dinner.........
