Yes I know I am rather odd.....I am writing in Green because I organized my first room today and it just so happens to be GREEN :) I cleaned my sons room though I have not yet emptied his car table it has all the books on it that need to find a home. He has shelves in his closet that we turned into a drawer-less dresser and under the bottom shelf we put a cute little wagon for a dirty clothes hamper. We also have coordinating cloth baskets for socks, underwear, and pj's.
I think it looks pretty neato if I do say so myself and he LOVES it! Granted his bed does have a dresser in it as it is a junior loft, but we put summer clothes in that to help him keep organized (or so I hope). I will have to add a picture of the rest of his room at a later date as he is sleeping and I do not have one on my phone.
When you look at the whole of the day I feel pretty accomplished as I got my son's room in order and I cleaned out the basement fridge. I also reorganized it which there is not much in it so that was pretty easy. I am also going to organize their snacks in that fridge.
I am really excited to continue with this project to get my life under control. Right now not even fly lady can give me a solution that will work for me. I am just glad I am able to start getting things in order. The sad part is that I go on vacation Saturday for 5 days. Normally this would be fantastic, but....it will only spur the procrastinator in me....after all procrastination and I are on regular speaking terms. I have several things that need to make it to this fridge that are not there yet, but soon very soon this will be the "extras" fridge and the "snack" fridge.
The final thing we were able to accomplish today was going through all of Monet's clothing. We have everything that is to small for her out of her closet and her dresser and ready to either freecycle or sell. Two children down (we did Brandon's as we organized his room) and and 4 more to go. The reason I picked Monet to do today was her dresser is in Brandon's room for right now.
I have all sorts of fun tricks I cannot wait to get going, but one day at a time, one post at a time, and one idea....and it will all come together soon enough....or at least this is my hope!
Tomorrow is my kitchen and the fridge in that room. I am gonna save the cupboards until after vacation because that is entirely too much to tackle in one day. I want to get this done the right way....I need to do it the right way. Overwhelming myself is NOT that way. It felt good to get my kids involved to. Normally they give me so much grief about helping that I get sick of listening to it and today they were rather helpful :)
Well now that I am done with another boring update I think it is time to fold the towels and go to bed! I could possibly be in bed by 11PM. That is pretty exciting at least to me it is!
