organizing..

I love to do this.. I love taking a big old pile of junk and turning into a mess that I can live with..
pretty containers, happy little homes.. it makes me giddy with excitement..

but why does it never ever last..
why does it make me happier to do it for others.. seriously.. if there was a market for it right now.. I would consider becoming a professional organizer... in this economy.. good luck!

If I knew better, I would be cleaning up my basement.. but I have limited time, so I am going to sneak in my shower BEFORE the baby wakes up from her morning nap.. okay.. might sneak in another load of laundry too..

maknig me happy today

what is making me happy today.. I bought the cutest little flower key covers for my keys.. they are so bright and cheery.. they just made me smile.. 3 buck I probably didn't need to spend, but for the happiness they brought me.. totally worth it.

If I knew better, I would be trying to make my keys less appealing, so the baby would want to eat them less.. but hey... they simply made me happy..

Sunday... May 17

my oldest dd knew that too.. even without looking at a calendar.. I have no idea how she manages to remember these things..but she does.. makes me smile.

It's been a really really long time since I blogged.. tons has happened..

Highlights --
baby girl started crawling in April and is ready to start walking..
big one loves school and really is developing her reading skills at an amazing rate.. seriously, she is reading well above her grade level.. she absorbs books and really is making great strides in discussing the plot, theme and characters.. obviously we don't talk about it with those words.. just about what is happening, happening next, etc.. we are still devouring the Junie B. Jones series of books, she LOVES them..

the house is still .. oh heck, I am still not ready to laugh about that yet.. so it will have to wait...
let's just say that the first wednesday in April was so awful, and it's a day that just keeps on giving and giving..

we are gearing up here for the end of school, hopefully a kindergarten graduation and then the arrival of the grandparents. my girls will be so thrilled.. followed only by the first birthday.. the big 1. I have begun getting ready, but still sooooo much to be done.. the monkey luau is going to be a blast.

it's cold and rainy here today.. so that means I will get lots of cleaning done -- dh just doesn't know that he is entertainment committee yet.... I will tell him later when I wake him up.. but don't feel too bad.. I am making him crepes for breakfast.. teh stuffed kind.. with savoury fillings.. his favorite..

okay.. off to play some Wii with the big one and then put the little one to bed for a nap...
will try to post again very soon..

If I knew better, I would be packing boxes down here, not sitting on the computer..
