One room

I had two days to work, and I sure as heck did. But all that time, and I really only got one room done! It was my office, though, and it was SO overpiled and trashed. So I feel good that it's done and I hope I can keep better track of my filing and organizing so that 2-years-behind thing never happens again.

Some pics... if you've been around long, you know I am a fan of the before-and-after pics.

Here's what it looked like when I started. I'm so shocked that I'm even posting these....it's horrendous! BTW...these were taken on my phone, M and Braska had taken off with the camera by the time I remembered I needed a "before." They're not the best quality pics.

And at it's current stage... no, my walls aren't peach, but the light in there makes things look yellowish.
There is still plenty to do, things from the other two rooms that used to be the office pre-kid that need to be moved in here. Final filing order, and of course, taxes! But at least now I can get in there and actually utilize the work space. And if you come to visit, you'll have a bed to sleep in.

For the record, I did get a few other things done. I finished the office at about 1:30p on Sunday, then worked on my living room, the kitchen, and minimally on our bedroom before I had to dash to the store before the Super Bowl party at 3:45p. There's at least another weekend's worth of work to do, but for now, I'll just try to keep up with the daily stuff.

Little factoid....when the office was done, I had almost 2 complete 30-gal bags of trash, mostly paper. Amazing!

  3. Fantastic improvement! Thanks for the before and after. And if you sell the paper to recycling place (?) you could eat out at El Toro!

  5. Karen--Thanks...I should have shown you in person Sunday night.

    Grandma C--Thanks...at least there's a place to walk in and the desk can be used.

    Dad--I do love the before and after.

    Anon--Most of this stuff is medically sensitive patient info, so we burn it in our fireplace as starter.

Oh happy day, Less question mark!

As a follow up to yesterday's post, I got word today that we will NOT be assigned to the new guy, but we will have an experienced coordinator after all. I feel SO much better. I also learned some other info today that made me think I still have some kinks to work out, so I'll be taking care of that this next week. I'll be SO glad when this transition/IEP stuff is behind us. I want to do the very best I can, but there's part of me who wants to just hide and let it all happen without me.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Was there a line??

I assume that you went to vote, either today or earlier if possible. I expect that of you, know that straight up. How long did you wait in line?? And throw in the state you voted in, just for fun. I'm really curious if all areas have a big wait or if it's just the more congested ones. I voted Friday absentee/in person, and we waited about 15 mins or so. It moved VERY fast for a big line. There's just one place in our very populated county to do the absentee/in person voting, and it wasn't bad at all for what I thought it might be. If you haven't, GO VOTE people... again, please just know what you're voting for, either way. You may just have to live with your choice. God Bless America!!
