Had trouble loggin on...that seems to happen once in awhile and I don't know what the cause is. Oh well, I'm here now. Saturday spent most of the day sorting clothes and doing laundry..like to say it is done, but NO. I did two totes. I'm donating about 1/2. (which isn't enough) I cleaned up kitchen and did a few loads, which are not put away. In the evening I worked on my daughter's costume for a 5K race. Then spent this morning finishing it. Race was at noon. Nothing like doing it at the last minute. It came out very cute. SHe was a tiger. She finished race, but was sick a bit after. She is fine now. I have been lazy since. Just don't feel like doing anything. I will be kicking myself tomorrow for wasting my time.
Oheoh's---Post pics of your new additions. Poms are so cute!

ok I am still working on project but it is at snails pace. My storage room was ok now it is a mess working on changing out season, clothes to small for me trying to figure out were to put them. If I lose 15lb they will all fit. I feel like this is doable. Grandma's room is better with 3 bags of winter clothing going to church. Did inventory of freezer and pantry. Cleaning and health and beauty inventory done. Paperwork reorganized and shredded. Lists made for gift giving with up to date sizes. Recipes found for Thanksgiving meal. Lists for winter needs made.
Working on the clothes this week. putting summer up getting out winter. Looking for gloves, hats, and scarves don't remember were I put them. I am still at it I promise I wish I was making better progress. Hugs to all you gals are doing great.

ok I guess hiring a cleaning lady shamed me. Today I shampooed the carpet. de cluttered the down stairs hall way. Thew stuff away.
Started again on my storage room. got 2 large totes of mine that grandma had junk in. brought up stairs for clothes.
got curtains organized, and put away. baby stuff in drawers. sheets put away. Quilts put away sorted heavy on the bottom lighter to the top. all my rugs put away. so IT is another start. maybe the totes and someone else will be a help to me. Grandma put away meat and cooked and deboned 10 lbs of chicken go grandma.

Today we are cleaning grandmas room. I feel if I really keep it up and I can all the storage areas de cluttered this week. I am pretty wore out though. Grandmas room is bad It looks like a good will exploded and I want to throw 90% of it away it is stained and so out of date that if I donated it to goodwill they would think a homeless person donated it. So here goes.

OEO...you've been busy! I laughed at throwing things out the window. How funny!
I was trying to get everything done before we went on a two week vacation to Utah. Got almost everything done but came home sick and needed almost two weeks to recover. I'm back at it again but pretty much starting over since it's been so long. BIL and SIL are in state for business and will be stopping by tomorrow so DH and I will do some cleaning tonight and tomorrow morning. That should give me a good jump start and hopefully I can whip everything back in to shape and get back in my regular routine by next week. Fingers Crossed!CHALLENGES:
