This must be the nesting stage I missed. Last night I made Caroline’s bed (not an easy task at all). I folded two baskets of laundry and put it away. I put away all the 2T clothes out of Caroline’s closet…Note: There were tons of 2T clothes in there, and the kid is already moving into 4T. It’s no wonder I was running out of hangers. I guess that task was a little over due.
The boys' clothes are still hanging the closet and folded in the drawers. Not because I can't bear to take them out, but because if I take them out, you know what will happen. Plus, if I put all their clothes away then Caroline's stuff will start to take over again...and I don't want to have to clean it all out next time a baby is on the way.
On top of making dinner and washing, drying and putting away the dishes, I also ground the hamburger for dinner tonight, ran the vacuum, retrieved the lid to Caroline’s toothpaste that had fallen under the bathroom vanity (a month ago-this kid has a mind like a steel trap) and organized some of Caroline’s craft supplies. There has to be a better way for us to store thousands of stickers, crayons, colored pencils and markers. I just haven’t figured out what it is yet.

When I got home from work I was exhausted. I vote Super Bowl Monday should be a two hour delay for the whole country. But the house just felt like it was a mess (mostly because of the laundry) and if I didn’t put the stuff away it wasn’t going to get done. Once I got started, things just couldn't stop. It feels good getting into bed at night (regardless of the time) when I feel like I have actually accomplished something. Now I am thinking about reorganizing the pantry and a couple of the cabinets. I just haven’t decided how I want to do it yet.
I’m thinking about doing something like this for my spices in my lower cabinet and moving the boxed food items that are there now to the pantry. I keep going to the pantry and just looking around. We have a lot of space in there, I’m just not sure how to use it to the best of its abilities.
I think the lazy susan would be good for some of the baking supplies. Good news is that there are some pretty good choices on Amazon that don’t cost an arm and a leg. Maybe this will be my weekend project? Who wants to come help me?
