Organizing updates

For some reason I am much more of a fall cleaner than a spring cleaner. With school starting and Myah's birthday coming up I like to clean things out to be ready for new things. We are working on her closet and under her bed, what a messy girl I have!

The upstairs living rooms was officially finished yesterday. Jason put up the trim, moved the internet cable connection so I moved the computer in there instead of the recroom. I got a new computer desk (with little desk space to pile things on, lol) and it looks great!

Once the trim and closet door goes up in the recroom we can get things back together but so many toys are not going back in there. I feel like my kids have so much they don't even know what to play with. A lot of things will move to their rooms and I have one medium sized closet and a book shelf to keep things on in the recroom.

Most of this stuff in in the basement, the one I so nicely cleaned out last year. I should take a pic, its awful again!

I feel like kickin Mr. Murphy's ass...

or my dogs! I came down Saturday morning to one giant pile of dog diarrhea and seven little ones ON THE NEW CARPET. I screamed and kicked the dog outside, I could tell she felt awful, she should!!! She is 12 years old and has never done this before, ugh, I guess she is getting old. There is now a gate across there at night, wish I would hav thought of that sooner ;)

I cried and scrubbed and just couldn't believe it. The carpet is from home depot and it came with 2 emergency cleaning a year, (thank goodness) I just called them to come out because I can still see the big spot. I didn't think I would be needing them this soon.

The carpet newness is gone :( but as I always do try to see the brighter side... now hubby, the kids and I don't have to worry about being the first one to spill on the carpet the dog already took care of that.

Heather meets Mr Murphy's Law

Yesterday we got beautiful carpet in the recroom and I LOVE it!! it looks and smells so new and wonderful. I am commmitted to only bringing half of what i had back into the room so it should be a bit better with the toys and clutter.

so I am happy with my newest home improvement and then last night at 4:15am we were all fast asleep "when from downstairs there arose such a clatter and I sprang from my bed to see what was that matter" Well to my great surprise half of my kitchen cupboard had broken away from the wall and was sitting on the counter. Food was sprawled across the kitchen floor and I was shocked. I didn't know what to do but go back to bed and deal with it in the morning. What a mess. Picture this - this is an upper cabinet with two doors beside my sink, the part attached to the side wall broke off, the top piece attached to the ceiling came off too, all the shelves and one door came off. So one cupboard door is just hanging there nice and straight all by itself. Freakin weird I tell ya.

In my hazy morning fog I started the clean up without remembering to take a picture. Well there you go my first kitchen cupboard has been cleaned out, not quite how I would have liked to have done it but hey can't be choosy.

I think maybe the kitchen was jealous, it was supposed to get new flooring but we cancelled it, it was screaming out for some of my attention. Jeesh! Hubby is home today, he was going to put on trim but the plans have changed...
