and even the doghouse gets a new roof

insurance adjuster came to look at the house yesterday and for some reason I had it in my head he was just looking at the roof uh no no the whole house & property and everything that was damaged not just the roof, color me clueless! And while I am so grateful no one was injured and we are all here safe & sound the car and property damage is a pain in the arse to say the least. It was a helluvah storm and we are blessed that that night did not turn out worse than it did.

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!

is it in the genetics?

why on earth can I not be more organized? It is the family joke only not so much a joke that the maternal line all tend to be clutter queens and not so much organized department. No one has a dirty home just cluttered-I type sitting in our spare room that has essentially become my junky closet. It would take a day of cleaning & re-arranging if someone wanted to sleep in here tonight. Our bedroom is still cluttered from where I stored my stuff when my folks visited in April and don't even get me started on the garage situation. We had talked about getting a dumpster this spring but never did and we still need to. That needs rephrasing I still need to it is my mess and quite honestly I need to clean it up. I know what needs throwing and what needs donating and yes even what needs saving I am still a pack rat at heart I don't want to get rid of everything, I just want it organized better. For now I will start with the spare room we hoping to let it be a game room of sorts for C & his ps2, his room is much improved and was purged just before the holidays which means new bedroom furniture from his grandmother which in turn means a bunk bed which futher means sleepovers so we need the spare room to be the game room.

full on panic mode

dok family arriving tomorrow
have I even started cleaning my house yet?
why no of course not...
it is going to be a looonnng evening tonight and a busy morning tomorrow

cursed fridge

yes the cursed fridge is at it again, freezer part working fine the refrigerator part not keeping cool just like in April when we had the thing fixed and then fixed again. If it had been an older appliance we would have just replaced it but now we have $$ plus several days of missed work in the damn thing to chuck it all in now-plus the thing is guaranteed for a year so I guess what another 9 months of dealing with silly crap, works just fine then boom out of nowhere warm milk. So tomorrow I wait to hear back from the repairman, schedule a day then sit and wait for hours for him to show up. I guess this also means I need to toss the contents again..
