On Moving

Okay, admittedly I have been a slacker. But I did warn you that I was really questioning my consistancy with the blogging thing from the beginning.

At any rate, here I am...Let's see what have I been up to the last while?

So the big January project has been getting Kaylinn her own room. That means I have to say goodbye to my office. Which is actually quite a conundrum as the office is my dumping zone. In fact I would argue that the office is the space that holds the most stuff of any room in our house. This is also the room that things get thrown into when people come over. Some of it finds it's way back, some of it doesn't. I guess it's all just part of the carefully controlled chaos that is my house. Probably what I should be worried about is what I am going to do with things when I don't have that room as a junk drop anymore. It took about a week to move everthing out. While I was going through the filing cabinet and I found receipts and statements that went back to the year Mike and I were married (that's 1999). Actually the last things that I had filed away were from 2006. Since then it has gone into a pile on the floor, that although I would go through from time to time, never actually made it into the filing cabinet. I went through the stuff pulled out a lot of what was unnecessary. That created a huge pile of stuff that needed to be shredded on the floor that Kaylinn and Logan were happily throwing into the shredder. So I generated large piles of garbage and DI donations. I still have 3 large boxes which have no home so I guess I need to get into some storage space and clean that out. I took a break to pay attention to the rest of my life and house and I have as yet to be ready to jump back in. Things that still need to be done include getting Kaylinn a bed (right now she is on one of the bunk bed mattresses on the floor), and painting and decorating her room. Of course things were very miserable that first week while Kaylinn was getting used to the new arrangements, but I am happy to announce that things are running smoothly right now and we are all sleeping well now. Hooray for sleep and personal space.

PS We are inbetween computers and I'm not sure I have access to pictures at the moment so when I figure that out I will post with some pictures...you will all just have to hold your breath until then.
