This week my inlaws have been here helping as I recover. Mom has helped with the kids and laundry and various things. Dad has been around for that stuff too, but he's been my personal "handy man" this week and I am SOOOOOOO thrilled!!!! Our pantry only came with a couple shelves - it is now lined from floor to ceiling on 2 walls with shelves, I have more room for things than you can imagine. The kids now have a medicine cabinet in their bathroom so their bathroom stays neat from toothbrushes, etc (it came with only a flat mirror). Our GARAGE is now organzized with coat and shoe racks mounted on the wall and all the big items like strollers and scooters and chairs, etc, hanging on big hooks, everything is up out of the floor and NEAT, my school room is now organzied with shelves and plastic containers... I swear if surgery wasn't so awful I told them I'd have to sign up for more operations because I can't beleive how much has gotten done around here this week! I'm so thrilled - I thrive on organization but I never have time to get things that way, now that the infrastructure is set up I will LOVE keeping it this way though!

What a difference it makes in your mood, eh? I super-organize about once a month. i often go through and toss stuff out, and it feels great to be so tidy, if only for a while! The more kids, the more mess, too, eh? Kayleigh's toy stash is overrunning our house! Yuck!

Keep on keepin' on...

Things are getting very busy in our home and just this weekend I have made chicekn spaghetti and lasagna in "family of four" freezer portions and also cooked and cubed 6 lbs of chicken for soups and casseroles and such. It makes a world of difference for me!

I am such a freak when it comes to organizing! I love to have things organized and this weekend I did that with my scrapbooking things and our spare bedroom. I think it is a control thing. When I don't feel in control of my life (like now) I get gratification from organizing or cleaning things. OY! My husband hates this because i get on a kick and he jokes that if he didn't watch out I would toss him out in the midst of my cleaning spree!! I guess if he made me mad enough I might!!

Doesn't a clean and organized house do wonders for your mood?? My house was out of control. Will has kept it "picked up" through the last 6 months or so when I've been having all my "problems." But, there is a difference between "picked up" and really cleaned and organized! I spent 9 hours cleaning and organizing just three rooms this Saturday! I couldn't move all day Sunday as I paid for my over doing it but it felt so good to have it done! Hopefully, I'll be recovered enough by next weekend to do the other three rooms!

Only folks like us would understand the JOY that motivates us to even take PICTURES of it all!
My new garage, as you come into the house:
Another wall of the garage, kids can actually get to their bikes! And on the other side... the van actually fits in now.
And my pantry - it only had 2 shelves before. Also this shoe storage bag on the back of the door is great for spices and small items, got that idea off a show or something:
The school room, this cabinet is now organized and the containers all labelled, more containers inside with smaller drawers also labelled... aaahhh....
Here's more of the school room (futon also doubles it as a guest room when grandparents come)
And one section of the toy room... it's actually not picked up right now but you get the idea... it's so easy for the kids to clean up after themselves now! I'm in heaven...
I know I'm a dork for sharing all these pictures but you guys understand!!!!!!!!!!!! I spend most of my time here... it's gotta be a place I can feel SANE... aaahh, I love it... I also have boxes and bags to donate for OTHERS to use and to get the clutter OUT.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
