Organizing

As much as I clean every day, this house definitely has places and spaces that need some organization.  Even after I've cleaned those places, it doesn't take long for them to get cluttered again.  There's a drawer in the kitchen that had dividers in it and I will have it all organized and sorted out and the next thing you know, it's a mess again.  Same thing goes for Lauryn's closet.  I go through it and sort the clothes that fit now and the clothes she's grown out of.  I have boxes of shoes, cool t-shirts, dresses and coordinating outfits that no longer fit and are put in the basement, with the sizes on the side of the box.  Again, it never lasts.  People bring us bags of clothes they were given or they picked up at sales and before you know it, her closet it a mess again.  One of these days I'll get a better system down!

Cleaning Out My Closet

It's time to clean out my closet.  It's actually way over due!  Every time I open my door, things are falling out at my feet!  The problem is that I have a ton of yarn and craft things that I need to organize and get into my new craft room.  That would take care of most of the problem.  The other issue, is that I have so many things that could be donated to Goodwill, things I don't wear or no longer have use for.  I still have a couple of bridesmaid dresses from about a million years ago!  I should donate those to one of those stores that sell discount bridesmaid dresses.  They are very pretty dresses, I got lucky and have never had a bride make me wear an awful dress, and someone could get some use out of them!  Organizing and donating somethings would make my closet a whole lot roomier!

Cari, Cari Quite Contrary

How does your garden grow?  It's doing pretty darn well!  My tomato plants are full of tomatoes, mostly still green but I do have a red one!  The green peppers have flowered and are starting to grow little tiny peppers, the onions seem to be doing well, the cucumber is totally a lost cause and the mystery plants are flowering.  We think they might be squash.

Lots and lots of cleaning needs to be done today.  Besides the usual Thursday cleaning (the fridge, the litter...), I've been cleaning Lauryn's closet.  Every where we go, someone is giving her something and it ends up just going in her closet.  I've been sorting through the clothes that don't fit her any more and organizing everything.  I've already vacuumed today because shedding dog + crawling baby = hairy baby and I can't let that happen!  The laundry is actually caught up for once so I don't need to worry about that but once the fridge gets cleaned out there will be plenty of dishes.  Gotta love Thursdays!
