Julie's Journal

I am probably way too organized for my own good. Everything must have it’s place, and I always know where something is if I am asked. My organization skills have hampered my boys from gaining any themselves. Why keep track of things when mom is obsessed by doing it for us? I’m sure that is their thought process at times.

I probably get this from my mom. When I was a kid she had these sew on labels that she ordered from who knows where with my name printed on them. She sewed those things on almost everything I owned. Everything in my house, and everything I ever took to school. All my clothes, my dolls (and their clothes), my lunch box, you name it.

I remember going to Kindergarten with those labels on all my stuff. There was never any doubt what items belonged to “JulieAnn” just look at the label! Before I moved to California I inherited her sewing box, and I STILL have a whole package of those labels in there.

Today, there is no need to sew on labels anymore. Dymo label maker has these cool color labels that just iron on things like gym clothes, and towels. They also have the tape kind that you can stick on books, homework, and all their school supplies. I’d be a labeling maniac if I had one of those machines!
