My Bambbles

So our living room is a total disaster again, and on top of that there is crap everywhere. Stan and I are in the middle of the nursery transistion. We bought baby hangers the other day so I hung all of his new clothes up in the closet (I know I am just going to have to take them down and wash them in a nice gentle detergent but I felt so accomplished). Stan and I are looking at what space we have (or lack thereof) and trying to figure out just how we are going to store everything we need to store. I am going to go through all of our blankets tonight and make a stack of the ones that we can give away. Since winter is just around the corner I think it should be the perfect thing to scale back on. I am planning on Goodwill but Angie let me know if Reed and Anita may want to take them back to the res. or something. I have a plan on how to get everything organized but unfortunatly my plan revolves heavily on Stan doing most of the work. We are working on our house but all of the stages of chaos have made me go a little crazy and on top of everything my brain goes into a "nesting" mode and I just go nuts over everything being everywhere. I know it is all a process and that we have such a limited amount of time since all of our weekends are always booked and by the time we get home from work it is too late to really get into anything. I am going to rely on the fact that it will get done and keep reminding myself that Saturday and whatever I have left of Friday will be my days to get a lot of things in order. Its just frustrating and tiring and there is a huge part of me that just wants to take the day buy the organizer and get started. Given that nothing I ever put together stays together I am going to opt not to do that...whew laziness saves me again (well until I get home and have to see our chaos.)
My Grandfather is going to be staying at our house on Sunday which is def. fueling my need to get everything done now. I am excited to see him though since I haven't seen him since Father's Day and I won't get to see him for a while (he is flying on really early Monday morning to Colorado to stay for like a month).

Why don't you get a bunch of people together to help with the work load? I mean you obviously have to be careful not to do any of the lifting and whatnot, but put that nesting urge to good use and order people around! You could have some people over on Saturday afternoon and get 10 times as much done.
