Update: Slow Headway

I thought I would post a picture of the computer portion of my desk.  I am doing a deep overhaul of the whole room, which I will post pictures as I get them.

The never ending cycle.

Ok so I have the desk put together, which I had to do mostly by myself.  And now I am trying to work around the heavy stuff that I can't move out of the room by myself.  I hate working around things....I just hate it but there is nothing I can do about that now.  I am not willing to hurt my ankle again to lug stuff to the basement and David refuses to call anyone for help.  What is wrong with calling people...he just wants to do it himself if I won't help him (and make a ton if dents in my wall in the process).  I am tired of doing this all by myself....well all by myself with Hayden.

Productive day.

Thats what this day is going to be called around this house. Yesterday I decided that each day I need to do a little something. ....So I cleaned the microwave. Why do we hesitate and try to put off cleaning? It feels so good once it's done. And it dosn't really take that much time if we don't look at the big picture and allow ourselves to get overwhelmed.

If you aren't going to do your 21 day challenge for the day, I challenge you to pick something like the bathtub or toilet, the microwave, or maybe the kitchen sink, how about dusting a room, or maybe ....... you get the idea.

Grab your cleaners or organizers and GO!

Catching up...

So, life is a little hectic. I have never completely "finished" day 1, because I lacekd the organizational materials... but I thought I would post my progress so far. I cleaned out a lot of space, so now there is room for office supplies from other areas of the houes. Cambrey also came over Saturday and helped me start on my desk- it took us 4 1/2 (or so) hours to get as far as we did. I have some "micro organizing" to do, but as it stands right now, my desk area is now cut in half size wise (less area to stack stuff on) and is DEFINATELY more workable.

Another of my goals os to lose weight. I have quite a journey ahead of me, but that's ok. I was visiting with a friend yesterday who is helping me along that journey, and she is VERY excited that I am cleaning out the house. She said that often if our hous is cluttered and disorganized, often we are overweight. I can see the connection to that CELARLY in my life. So as I de-clutter my house, I plan on de-cluttering my body and life.

I am also starting (today) a new fun project- I am making a natural spa line- sugar/salt scrubs, bubble bath, lotion, soap... all of which I have done before, but I will be selling it this time. I have my first client! I will be making a line for a spa in Logan, UT. I want this more than ANYTHING... and I want to have a clean, organized, well thought out area to work in. Day 3 starts later today!!!


Day 1... more comlete... more to go...


The start of day 2... what a mountain!




Progress...

And the beat goes on....

So I thought I would check out our favorite blog today and found she has a weekly challenge (just click the word blog to get there).  I know we are all struggling to do the first 21 but I thought that these would help in the total organization of our homes.  She links an ETSY page of printables that I thought was way cool that link it : http://www.etsy.com/shop/CleanMamaPrintables  it has schedules, shopping lists etc. 

I enjoyed this

I know we all know the L&L phrase "You're probably right" and have used it many times but here is what the Urban dictionary has to say about it...

You're Probably Right - A phrase used to dodge the blame and embarrassment associated with getting an answer wrong. -

Brittany is grounded.

All in favor???

I !

Okay Britt. No feeding Baby W, or eating, or sleeping, or going to the bathroom until you have photos of your and Cambrey's hard work.

......Um......excuse me while this hypocrite goes to do some procrastinated organizing.
