What a Mess!

What have I gotten myself into? Why oh why did I decide that the office needed a complete overhaul? You should see the state of the floor in the office and into the stairway! I am going through everything! I finally sorted out all of the kids' mementos and made cute clear colored storage bins for them. Everything that I have been saving and some photos went into the boxes and there is plenty of room to hopefully get them through a few more years and maybe even high school. I also reorganised all my cute little boxes that had all kinds of hidden treasures in them. I had stuff spread out everywhere so I finally consolidated everything and put them in my favorite things- clear storage bins! My other best friend is my label maker. I feel soooo Martha right now with my matching bins with labels! Now the only problem is getting everything back on the shelves and figuring out what to do with my cute little boxes that are cluttering the floor right now. Am I in there right now trying to connect with my creative organizational self? Nope! I am watching tv and wishing for a magic wand to go and clean up the huge mess I made! On an encouraging note, I did start and finish to an acceptable level the closet in my bathroom. I got rid of a ton on hideous stuff and a whole lotta shoes that my sister-in-law was kind enough to take off my hands. There is nothing quite like the feeling of neat and organized. I also decided to tap into my youth and take a bunch of postcards that I had from my 2 trips to Maui and tape them on the wall in my closet. It is actually quite enjoyable to look at and it makes me happy. ...
I can do this! I can finish up tomorrow and then sit and enjoy my perfectly organised hobby room and know exactly where everything is!

Playing Around

Guess where I am right now? Sitting on the couch watching the Olympics thinking about cutting my nails off so that typing on my mini laptop will be much easier. My Valentines day gift from Nate that I just got tonight. He had to order a real one for his office manager and this one was free, but it's mine all the same. Just what I need, more access to being completely unproductive. haha :) ok, that's better. I had to go and cut my nails so typing was easier and now I am on the bed next to Nate, who is also on a laptop. Too funny.
Speaking of funny, Jordyn was cracking me up yesterday. She was the only one riding the bus so we had a conversation about her getting married one day and she immediately said. "No, I'm not doing that." When I asked her if she wanted to have cute little kids to love on like I do to her she said "no, I'm living with you forever!" When we told Daddy about it later that night he told her that she was getting kicked out of the house at 18 to which she wasn't too happy about. I asked her about it again today and she was still adamant about it. When I asked her if her sister was getting married she said yes and about her brothers she said "yep, they're getting wives." She told me that she was going to take Emma's room when she moved out and got married. I guess she's smart enough to want the bigger bedroom while she is living with me forever. What a cute little thing she is. Ethan also told me today that he wanted to marry me and that it was too bad that I was already married. I guess we have a bit of a love fest going! These memories will have to keep me warm when they are telling me how they can't wait untill they are old enough so they don't have to live with me anymore. :) They grow up so fast and it just keeps getting faster the older they get.
