I'm soooo sleepy, Katie! :yawn :yes2 We had company last night, so I did all the dishes to get a head start, but today...staying up so late wiped me slap out! :tired

I love the "Room of Doom" title. That totally was the "guest bedroom" although I'm not sure what guest other than a mouse, spider, or cricket could have stayed in there. Anyway, that was the room that became Little T's room so it had to be totally gone through before he was born. It went from pink carpet and pink walls (ala the previous owner) with mounds of stuff everywhere, to a newly re-carpeted, yellow walled, cute little boys room! :) My second "Room of Doom" became the office but it is slowly but surely coming along nicely! I just finished clearing off the top of our big filing cabinet. Do we really still need the water bill from February 2006??? I think not! :giggle

Your work is definitely cut out for you, Ashley. May I ask, what is that room going to be when it's cleaned out? I think I see some office furniture, but the computer is in the family room? Just curious. I think it's so important to start with a clear vision of how your space is going to function when you're done.

Good luck!

That room is more or less our filing/hobby room. (where we keep sewing, tools, ect. so the kids don't get into it. )The comp. stays in the living room, because we really don't use it for "office" work (we pay all our bills online) and it's also our T.V. We don't have a real television set. :P

The desk has to stay because it belongs to our landlady who didn't want to pay for storage. :rolleyes

Ashley, that looks awesome!!!

I've been organizing the play food into tubs. Little T has lots of play food, so I'm separating it into tubs (after washing it) and then will rotate tubs so we can kinda keep a handle on the mess...

spent the last 1.5 hours decluttering the filing cabinets (4 drawers) plus cleaning up all the misc toys everywhere - My time estimates on my organization list are way off. It takes much, much longer than I expected. :(
finished laundry - need to put it away

Finished cleaning up the stuff from painting the porch. I really didn't want to either- it's so messy and the job is already done, but otherwise the paint dries on the stuff and I can't use them again (I know from experience! :giggle).

:clap nice job Atarah

tomorrow is supposed to be a rainy day in my neck of the woods, so I'm anxious to see what I can get done. I have a meeting from 1-3, so that'll cut right into my day.

Goals for tomorrow: clean the kitchen (I may have to do before/after pics - it's really bad), finish cleaning the dining room, vacuum the living room, 2 loads of laundry minimum.
