Getting Organized

One of my resolutions for 2009 is to get more organized in the paper filing department. It is a requirement at the work place but I lack discipline on the home front. Nothing frustrates me more than when I am looking for a particular letter, document or even paid receipt and it takes me longer than if I had simply filed it in its appropriate place.

So I bought a box of folders and began this project yesterday evening. Lord, have mercy! I had no idea just what kind of mess my paperwork was in. In sorting through a filing cabinet drawer, I found Kris' acceptance letter from Baylor as well as our certificate of insurance from our previous health insurance carrier. (Needed that when I transferred to BC/BS but had to request a duplicate copy because I couldn't find the original.)

I still have a huge job ahead of me in getting the filing system in place. I have boxes that I need to go through and hopefully I can burn some of the paperwork I've been holding on to "just in case". Sigh.
