Trying to Get Organized

I have a huge announcement to make.
My living room is clean.
So is my kitchen.
And in a few minutes, the oven will even be clean. (I have a massive fume headache to prove it.)

But my bedroom is a disaster.

Here's the thing. I have a fairly decent sized bedroom for such a small apartment. In it I have a queen size bed, dresser (that I refinished), lamp table, and this lovely antique bench that sits at the end of the bed. I love this bench. It serves no real purpose. You can't sit on it. It's just a pretty dust catcher.

It's also a clothes catcher.

Depending on the day it is a clean clothes catcher, other days it's a dirty clothes catcher. No matter the day, it's covered in clothes. I am starting to think there are more clothes on the bench than there are in my dresser.

And let's not forget I'm getting ready to move (in 21 days for those who are counting). I've been randomly piling, stacking, and in general just throwing things in my room and calling it "almost packing."

My room has never been THIS messy before.

In the meantime, I have a stack of forms to fill out by Monday, a full-time job, more freelance work to finish up, and a life to live. What's so important about Monday? That's the day my foster parenting classes begin. 8 hours a week for 4 weeks.


So I'm trying to get the little things out of the way. What am I missing? Anything else you can think of I need to do in the next 3 weeks?
