Out with the old....

Okay, so I am feeling overwhelmed this morning. I look in my bedroom, which by the way is our "school room". It is an utter mess. Papers everywhere, the book shelf looks like a two year old got a hold of it and tried to organize it, pencils, crayons, markers, glue bottles, graded papers, and what not all over the girls desks, books upon books stacked everywhere. What do I do with all this stuff. Do I save the work the girls did? Can I throw last years away (that's right, I still have 3 years of schoolwork packed in my house)? I feel bad throwing away much thought out work and pictures that were drawn "specially for me". But, I can't keep everything right? Ugh! I feel like my mother.
