I've been plowing through paperwork all week and have unearthed some interesting treasures; overdue bills, baby growth charts, my voter registration card and last but not least a $2,000 check that is now too old to cash. You would think we didn't like money or something by the way we just leave our mail piled in the corner (and the floor and the table...). But really how often do you get $2,000 in the mail?

I also took care of an insurance request for copies of our birth certificates that Stranger handed me two weeks before it was due. It's not like it was that difficult a task or anything. I'm organized right? I could go right to my file folders, pull them out and fax them right? Right. Expect that I never ordered a birth certificate for my now THREE YEAR OLD BABY! Is that so shocking when it took us two years just to name her? It shouldn't be.

Guess what I do when I get the mail now? Pile it? NO, file it!!! Well, at least that's my new motto. Like I said before, my files are organized. They're perfect. They're flawless. My system for getting the papers into the files is not so perfect. In fact it's so flawed that it doesn't actually exist.

But that is all changing and it's changing now. I'm just glad I have one more week to get my paperwork under control before I have to start working on a new habit.

Have a great week!
