Massive Cleanup
Aug. 1st, 2009 10:11 amWe are supposed to have our new sectional sofa delivered today. And by "today" I mean "probably sometime between 8:30 and 12:30." Are you kidding me? The furniture store is literally down the street from me! Can I maybe get a better time frame? Blah! I sent Punk and Jennifer out to play so that she wasn't in the house all morning begging to watch this show or that show or getting bored watching me sweep and clean.
Jen wants to start reorganizing and cleaning the basement. I think that's a good idea, it's just terribly overwhelming to think about. Not only is all of OUR random crap in there, but a lot of random crap from my father's house is down there, too. We need to get approximately 3 billion storage totes and then maybe some shelving units so it's all stacked up nicey nice. We got a $100 gift card to Lowe's once from my mother for some holiday, and that will come in handy, except that the Lowe's is way out in East Springfield. Whine whine whine.
I finally hung up a piece of artwork that my brother and SIL bought for us in, oh, 2007? I don't know why we never did, it's really nice. Actually, it's not hung at all where I would like it (it would look perfect over the mantle) but the previous owners left a bunch of screws in the wall so I just put it on some. Good enough for now. I really don't know how people (read: Patti, Amy) manage to do all kinds of house projects and yard projects with toddlers/kids around. How is this possible? I can't wrap my mind around it. I know that if I spent an hour cleaning and had Punk in her room, she would have everything out of and off of every surface and it would be all over the floor. :)
I can't even tell you the last time I listened to music in the house. We should bring up the little stereo so we can have music in the house more often.
