It is the thing that is keeping us from getting out of NJ and to New Mexico. We've got all this "stuff" to get rid of before we can try to sell the 2 houses we have to sell. Making me nuts and keeping me from where I want to be. I'm about to bring in a bulldozer!!Fran @Broken Cookies Don't Counthttp://brokencookiesdontcount.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-42054876124382606832011-08-13T17:41:48.344-07:002011-08-13T17:41:48.344-07:00Just getting back into the swing of things, I thin...Just getting back into the swing of things, I think I'm thinking in the same mindset. I just cannot function in clutter, yet my entire home is loaded from top to bottom, except now the livingroom. about 12 hours of work and it's perfect as I can imagine...and that incredibly cute post-it dispenser (I got the one that looks like a flat stone) is actually out and on my couch-side table, for taking brief notes of inspiration while enjoying the one room in the house that I can stand to look at today. :) next, on to the kitchen...then the hallway...then the horrors of the upstairs. I'm inspired to get it all done before the family returns home...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-90884965067894408232011-08-11T13:45:31.132-07:002011-08-11T13:45:31.132-07:00'Course, this brain of mine homes right into t...'Course, this brain of mine homes right into the mention of new logo art. I love doing that stuff and can't wait to see your makeover when it comes. I sometimes wish I had more blogs so I could change their clothes like digital Barbies just for the fun of it. <br /><br />Photos of the desk makeover, too, please. I recall a pic you sent to Time Goes By of your desk. I have one to send them, but I forgot to. So it goes.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166865250789996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-85567274047108732382011-08-11T11:29:32.554-07:002011-08-11T11:29:32.554-07:00This is exactly why we stopped using a cleaning la...This is exactly why we stopped using a cleaning lady. It was so stressful for me to get the house ready for her to come in and clean. I was having to put toys away and other things so she wouldn't just stick them in a drawer or some other place we couldn't find them. <br /><br />I'm glad to know it's not just me that has a messy office, but I will attest to the fact that it's really my hubby's fault. If you saw my office at work, it's very neat and tidy. I hate disorganization, but having three children, it's inevitable. I finally stopped freakin' out about my house not looking perfect all the time. As hubby says, we are family of five and our house reflects that. ;)<br /><br />I used to be uber-neat, but not anymore. I have to choose where I want to spend my time and if the playroom isn't always picked-up or if the laundry sits in a pile in the basket for a while, it's not really hurting anyone (and I still get to spend time with my family). So it's a give and take. I compromise because there is only so much time in the day. <br /><br />You'll get where you want it to be--eventually. It took time to get that way and it will take time to get it back where you want it. ;)<br /><br /><br />Megan xxxMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622415628314992252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-32262881071367634792011-08-11T08:40:24.706-07:002011-08-11T08:40:24.706-07:00Your closet in the after shot--that's my life....Your closet in the after shot--that's my life.

Th...I clean before the cleaning lady arrives too... The only reason we have her though, is because I got so frustrated spending so much time tidying and delivering things back to their spots that I often times never got around to the actual cleaning part! I blame my kids, the younger one is a master at un-doing--dragging stuff all over the house, clearing out cupboards and tucking things away in odd little spots. I used to pride myself in my Martha Stewart-like closets...not so much after becoming a Mama! But it's ok, they are only little for a short time, when they're older I'll have some order back. Right? ;)Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08780558580790539719noreply@blogger.com
