Spring Cleaning....

It is 7pm and is still 70 degrees here! Five days ago it snowed and we missed school! Tomorrow it is supposed to be in the mid to high 70's again. I am thinking I could get used to this Arkansas weather! I say that now but will probably still hate it in June-August! After 4 years though it isn't so bad! I may just turn into an Arkansan after all. I won't give in on the Razorback thing, you have to have your standards!

What does the warm weather mean...

SPRING CLEANING!

Those of you who know me well and have been inside the inner sanctum will agree that this is desperately needed. As far as I come off as being organized it is mostly in my head. I am the worlds worst housekeeper, when something needs to be cleaned I tend to shovel it in my office and deal with it later. That allows unsuspecting visitors to think that I know how to clean my house but really I am the worst Clutter-a-holic I have ever known (with the possible exception of my best friends from high school, their family actually had to move to clean and it didn't take long to get back that way!)

Since I am not willing at this time to move...Do you hear that KEVIN! NOT WILLING TO MOVE!...I guess it meant I needed to clean.

My children are just like their mother, SLOBS! I would take pics of their rooms and post them here but I hate to do that to you. We decided that the twins were just too cramped in their small space and needed to be separated since they seem to despise each other and I am tired of all of the fighting. This meant an undertaking of the grandest of undertakings.

We live in a 4 bedroom house that has a cool sitting area off of the master bedroom that has always been my home office. The upstairs was more of a scrapbooking/Home business/guest/kevin's computer room. For the separating to happen, all of this was going to have to be combined in a sitting room and Katie was going to have to move upstairs. I guess four years of looking at what had become a total disaster in our bedroom, Kevin was willing to do anything for me to shovel it out and he said ok to the master plan!

What he didn't realize was how expensive this was going to actually be! To move Katie upstairs we decided to give her our bed, this meant we got a new one! In one of his weaker moments Kevin agreed to a king size bed and bought one in one short day! Agreed to look at church one Sunday morning and bought a bed by 5 that afternoon! And not just any bed, a king size sleep number bed! A bed change like that costs money when you have to replace an entire bedroom suite! Not to mention pillows and sheets and mattress pads and such!

It has taken me days to get the crap out of the office and get the place cleaned out so we can measure for the custom built office we decided to put in. It will be a horseshoe shaped desk with room for all of our computers and the network stuff. There will also be room for all of my scrapbook stuff too. I might be more excited if I didn't know how much work I have ahead of me!
