Organizing the Unorganized

At least we are trying. This past week I have had the pleasure of having the queen of organized - here to help the unorganized. I start out organized but this past year or so has taken me for a loop and I suddenly felt overwhelmed and suffocated by my own home. It was time for action. Time to DE-CLUTTER. Who do you call ...clutterbusters - my mother...of course! And she deserves the title of Queen of clean.

We spent 3 full days taking everything out of every cabinet, drawer and counter and sorted, compiled and tossed. And then re-organized in a much better way.

We have worked on more cabinets than these of course and these aren't even the impressive ones...but I am not finished. It will take me a bit to finish. It took us 2 days just to work on my kitchen and surrounding area. You have to make a mess to organize and then put the organized piles away. Very long process.

Of course we timed it perfectly...for the heat wave of the century. As we cleaned and organized the house got hotter and hotter and it felt like a sauna. I swear we set the record for who could sweat the most. There was no glistening here...I tell you. In fact I sweated more than I think I have ever seen a man sweat. Rolling and dripping sheets of salted water...it was gross! If there was a spot in the Genus World Records we would have taken first place hands down. And no pretty pictures here ...more like black mailing pictures! Don't get any ides.

Now I just need to finish and start figuring out my home school room ... that is a new adventure we are preparing for this year. More to come on that I am sure.... have a great day!
