Remember that post about everything in it's place?

Remember this post? I wish I could say everything was in it's place...Well, today I have to get through a whole lot of folding before I can get on to my decluttering! A whole lot...............

And after I get that all folded and the living room vacuumed and the dishes done...I go on to this...

And this...

Yep, that would be the infamous catch all drawer or junk drawer. Things that we will never maybe someday but probably not use one day. But we simply can't throw it out either. Please tell me I'm not the only one with a drawer for this purpose. I'm sure it won't look this bad if you do, however. :)

((sigh)) I'm thinking I'll skip the dishes and play on my blog a little longer. Good procrastination! (that's my specialty...procrastination. I'm not lazy, really! Okay...maybe a little)


Now....if I could only find the cat...

Desk do over

Per my purpose to de clutter post, I promised to capture some of the de cluttering and share here. (Actually, the pictures are just posted as proof that I DID follow through with it and got something accomplished! hehehe)

I desperately want a new desk and can't wait for the day that I can mark that off of our "someday" list. I love the dark color of this one but it has been through the wringer (ringer??) and it isn't big enough for all of my clutter things.

You'll have to ignore the dust in some of the photo's as my vacuum decided to come one teeny, tiny, itty, bitty step from an explosion today! And not because my floors needed swept so bad, I actually just vacuumed yesterday. But a vacuum is also on our "someday" list. It's just managed to make it's way closer to the top now, however.

So here's my desk before...(It's actually a very clean before pic. I swear my desk is a magnet for all things in this house!)

And here's my desk after...

Even after I dusted, it still needed dusting! It's done now, but I'm not going to retake the pictures. :)

I'm thinking junk and miscellaneous kitchen drawers next...but I'll save that post for another day.

This post shall have no title :)

Sorry that I haven't posted much anything lately. Not that I think any of you had reason to miss me...or my posts.
I have just been in such a slump lately. I have nothing to talk about, gossip about, post pictures of...NOTHING!
You know those New years goals I talked about? Not much has happened with them. You know that de cluttering I spoke of? Same result, nothing. But I did misplace my hubby's bank card yesterday and any de cluttering that was even a thought in my head-POOF! It disappeared with each unturned object in my house. I was on a path of destruction and even lost sleep last night due to the fact! I KNEW I had taken his bank card out of my pocket IN THE HOUSE but the house was challenging me to find it! My husband ended up finding it in a leather cover of his external hard drive!! Why on earth would I put it there??? Good question! I was half almost, kinda, pretty much, sorta sleeping when I did that...oy!
On a positive note, I have actually been getting some sleep! And the best part? It's been taking place through the night! Of course, you wouldn't know that I love to sleep through the day...until now. I do, there is just something relaxing about sleeping during the daylight hours. Maybe because I feel safer, even though I don't not feel safe at night. (Shrugging shoulders) Got me??!?! But the thing about me sleeping now through the night, I'm usually asleep by 8 p.m., yeah, I know! EARLY! And the one thing about going to bed early.....waking up early!!! 5 and 6 a.m. Insert words for being bored out of mind {here}....
My son woke me up early this morning, I guess I slept in because he woke me the first time at 5:30 but I sent him begged him to go back to bed! And he did, til about 6. So I turned cartoons on for him and laid down. He got up again soon after, which was expected but I didn't expect him to fall asleep in my arms! I went to lay him down in my bed (I wasn't going to attempt getting him upstairs and chance waking him!) and of course, as I laid him down, he woke! And then proceeded to puke on me! My day is complete!
He hasn't thrown up since! And has been up playing all day, until about 20 minutes ago when he fell asleep on the couch next to my husband. He was even promised a game of hungry hippos before bed and he's all crashed out! Poor guy!

How was YOUR weekend?

A clean closet is a happy closet

I finally got started on the de cluttering. You may remember this post. First up on the list was my son's closet. We don't use it for anything other than storage. Or, ummm, well, that's what it is intended for. These pictures will prove that it wasn't actually being utilized for storage exactly. But I needed a new place to store Christmas decor. The shed wasn't working out, it isn't completely dry out there, so things were getting ruined.

Before
Don't hate, I'm not proud of the clutter!

A mess of hangers & old Halloween costumes....(sigh)

After

I even have room for more in there!

Everything in its place

I want to be one of those people that can (truthfully) say "I got so much accomplished today!" Therefore, I am on a quest to find my house again! (Or find it at all! I'm not certain it was ever really visible!)What better time than the new year to set in place a plan to reduce, de clutter and clean things up? I am going to change my strategy in every day cleaning and picking up. I plan to take you, the readers, on this journey with me. Hopefully, as long as you don't laugh, I will post pictures of the before & after jobs. I'm hoping that my family will see this and also jump on the bandwagon. (Well, a girl can dream!!) Anyhoo, I hope you will come along with me for this ride. I'm sure it will be a wild one!
