Some Progress.....

It could be lots better but I'm just bad/lazy about figuring out how to organize and store stuff. Especially when I won't buy anything unnecessary until we are closer to our debt free goal. Which has been slacking since we have sold the rodeo. It took the guy a MONTH to get us the money after initially writing a back check and kept lying to us about having the money each week!! ugh! I thought I would be able to trust him since he was a Bishop of a local church! What's the world coming to? So now it's said and done we're getting back to our strict strict budget!
Anyways enough ranting....here's Jazmyn's closet. I also did the computer desk but it's not much better. I don't know where to put everything!!(cd's, photo albums...) I skipped the bathroom painting for now...I have no rollers for my paint thingy. :)

Fearless!!

That would be describing Jazmyn and Londyn taking baths!! They both LOVE water! I have a feeling they will be little fish when they get older. I use to be when I was a kid and not so self conscious about my body. So was my father... I remember stories he told about racing at the keo pool and he would swim (the long way) up and back without taking a breath! I wasn't that good, though. I miss the swimming pool, maybe that will be another goal of mine(working on self image). I have yet to let Londyn go swimming in a pool...only the bathtub. She is so crazy, I don't think I could keep up.
Jazmyn 12 months @ Aunt Jodee's lil' pool....can you imagine Londyn is worse than that!!

Alright, off to bed....company coming for the weekend I need to be able to get up early to tidy up the house...so it can become a mess all over again! Doesn't make sense does it???

Awwww....

Londyn started taking steps! Well, she only gets one little step then she dives into us. I can't believe it, Jazmyn was 12months when she started taking steps and not until like 14months before she was walking all over. I guess Londyn just feels the need to keep up with her big sister! She's also climbing on everything her stubby little legs can reach. :(

Tada!

I finished the kitchen late last night and it was so nice to wake up this morning to a clean kitchen. All the clutter made it's way to the basement packed into boxes, so next time we move(hopefully sooner than later) I get the privilege to go through it all again. I just needed it all out of site! I'm the type of person who normally throws everything away just because I get tired of looking at it, but Phil's a little bit the opposite so I put my desire to trash everything aside this time. lol! Next project will be bathroom it needs painted..bad!!

Challenge Anyone???

Not like a competition type challenge... I'm talking about more of a self help type challenge :) Saturday morning I was online looking for tips on organizing 'n such and thought maybe if I held myself accountable on here, it would get done!!!! I posted the web page at the bottom. : ) So feel free to join me on this declutter the house adventure. I'm going to post before and after pictures, so everyone can see the progress...especially myself! It's easy to get caught up in daily routines and I tend to ignore the "weekly" chores. Do you?! Or am I all alone! LOL! I'll just post one room at a time, it's just stuff that piles up only in certain places. ...such as corner counter in kitchen, top of fridge, girls closet, etc. All weekend we take it easy and really do a whole lot of nothing except enjoy our very little family time! I'm sure some of you can relate, so when Monday rolls around you wonder if you missed the tornado that went through your house...maybe while you were sleeping?! So here goes nothing :-S BTW, I'm starting in the kitchen it's been neglected too long!

Look to see what your clutter personality says about you! I'm both deferrer and perfectionist.

WHOOPS!

Okay, well Phil puts ME... yeah ME.. in charge of cutting his hair. Let's just say we've had better ...umm... hair days. So I was cutting his hair last night and as usual I start off with some stupid look, just for fun. Last night was "Mohawk" night. hahahaha!!!! Then I set the clippers on the bathroom counter, because Londyn was crawling into the room. Jazmyn just happen to get tangled up in the cord and the clippers dropped on the floor...and they broke!!!!!!!!! Phil was not so happy. :o)

I'm back.......

So, it's only been like 2 months since I've blogged. I don't see that as a long time at all, but all you in blog world waiting to read my next fascinating thoughts might be getting a little antsy. Speaking of antsy, that just reminded me of something funny that a very smart little boy once said, so I must share. One day this little boy's father said, "Hey, Anthony what are you eating?!" He replied, " I'm Anthony, I eat ants!" His smart little 2 yr old brain put together the relation in spelling between "Anthony" and "ants". So, since the word ant is found in his name, it must mean he is suppose to eat ants. Okay, well if you didn't find that funny, you really just have to know the kid.
Anyways, I have a few things I think I can write about in the next few days....we will see if it happens. I just thought I'd better write something down to feed those blog addicts and give them their "Traci fix". LOL! I know what addiction is like, only mine is chocolate. "Hello everyone, my name is Traci and I am addicted to chocolate. " All other addicts reply, " Hi Traci."
-The End-
