it's beginning to look like an episode of Hoarders in here

don't get me wrong I have always been a clutter queen and I come by it honestly have you met my mother or grandmother for that matter? That said my house is generally fairly clean except lately even I am starting to get scheevd out by the amount of crap piling up around us. And yes I am busy with work, school and well life however this is gonna stop I am going to do a little bit each and every day or maybe just a lot bit each weekend. One room at a time is my new motto!

weekend what weekend??

-C has a basketball game in the morning
-I have to work 5-6 hours tomorrow
-homework and lots of it needs to be accomplished
-grocery shopping
-laundry
-a little house de-clutter really needs to happen
-we have current plans that involve foot ball watching most of Sunday at a friend's house
and I am not even going to begin to discuss my Christmas tree which yes is still up

what to do, what to do

a rainy Sunday morning and I have about a dozen things that need doing
-dishes
-clearing off the dining room table and while we are at it why in the high holy hell does it get so cluttered so fast?
-laundry & ironing
-organize coupons
-make menu for week and then grocery list
-go grocery shopping
-change bedding
-get some studying in
maybe not quite a dozen but these were just the first things that came to mind..
I do have the house to myself for a little bit so a nap might have just vaulted to the number one priority on the list

probably jinxing myself

but I have all of my grocery shopping done for Thursday-even the wine! I can avoid the craziness of the stores tomorrow & just get the house cleaned up and maybe just maybe get some laundry done.

Jimmy Hoffa might be in there

really need to clean out the freezer this weekend. I am guessing we probably have enough meat I could do without shopping for a week or two at the very least, we have copious amounts of popsicles leftover from last year's tonsillectomy and several tubs of cookie dough from last year's buy cookie dough for the school or you are a bad parent sale. In an ideal world I would really like to inventory what we have and have it written down someplace so I can check my list before grocery shopping. hmmm that would work really nifty for my pantry stuff too. Can you imagine how much easier life would be if I would just try to be a little organized? and we might not have 20 cans of cream of mushroom soup on hand either.

little boy is growing up

the big bedroom purge on C's bedroom has begun!
We are cleaning out everything so that the bunk beds & desk MIL is purchasing for him will actually fit into his room. There are tons of toys that he just doesn't even look at any longer never mind play with. C has the ball rolling with 3 garbage bags full, if I had the time I would do a garage sale but we are going to stick with Goodwill this time. I did have to rescue a few items Shrek & his little elephant/rattle were 2 things I couldn't part with!
