Being Organized

This will come as a shock to most people who know me...but I actually spent most of the week completing projects and getting organized! I know..me! I FINALLY got a picture of my in-laws enlarged (it's been sitting in a cupboard for about 3 years) and got it in a frame. I re-arranged my dishes in the kitchen. I cleaned out the linen closet and organized all of the medicines (couldn't ever find any cold medicine so I would just buy more) and everything else in there. I went to the cannery on Tuesday and so I cleaned out the storage room to make room for the new boxes. (note to self....before you can certain things KNOW what you already have.) I also got other things done. Everyone has clean clothes this week. YEAH! I even organized Tanner's closet (that was SCARY). I'm not sure what got into me. I think that part of the motivating factor was that Scott has been bringing home things from the office that they don't need anymore (i.e. table, filing cabinets). He snatched 2 filing cabinets to put in his "new den" (new because it's clean!). To make room for those, we had to clean everything up. Well it sort of became a domino affect. To get everything organized meant that I had to organize other things. No, nothing from the den went into the linen/medicine closet that was a spur of the moment clean! The things in the den need to be put away in the storage room (disorganized disaster), craft room (just disorganized), or in the filing cabinets (too full). So, I had no choice but to start cleaning things out. It felt kind of good to finally get some of this done.
