JAN 3RD -

So, Thursday (still my today since I haven't gone to bed yet.. the date says the 4th because well, technically it is) I went to help my new sister-in-law Suzanne organize. Merging two families with 5 kids each - together into one house has taken it's toll on her space and organization. Myrna went with me and today we worked on the front room and the kids rooms. A lot was thrown out, and some great stuff was given to DI. Less is definitely more in terms of organization. The kids rooms looked like completely new rooms by the time they were done with them. Now we'll have to go back and help with the other rooms... but first, I need to get my house done and moved into while I'm off work and have the time. The sooner the better because I really can hardly wait to decorate the place. I have lots to decorate with, but couldn't really tell you what it all was since I haven't seen some of it for 5 years. It'll be like Christmas going through my boxes and putting stuff up and away. I LOVE to be organized and finally having a place to put everything and knowing exactly where it is and how to find it is definitely going to be HEAVEN!. I stopped off at Home Depot after dropping Myrna off at home. I got some more paint - spray paint to paint the up-duct covers white, and an outlet box because I have one that's broken. OK- so I had the carpet padding in my garbage can and I put it out today to be picked up before I left the house (about 9:30 am). When I got home, it was still there. Ughh. Apparently the garbage man came extra early today. So now I have to wait until Monday to get the first load out. Can't wait until it's all gone. I guess I'd better get to bed tonight so I can actually wake up in the morning to start working all over again. Sheish, with all this physical labor I'm using muscles I haven't used in a long time and it's taking it's toll on this old body of mine.
