GROWING PAYNES

Well now that I have pretty much completed the baby registry I have my head focused back onto the house again.  The other day I started my normal cleaning routine but I quickly realized something was different this time.  I was getting no where.  I started in my closet and stayed there for about two hours.  The normal straightening up just wasn’t satisfying.  I started noticing things like scuff marks on the wall and thought ohh those need to be touched up.  Then I looked at an area above our shoe racks and thought, “ohh wow we are wasting space.  I need to get some shelves up there…and then I can get some boxes and organize some of our junk.”  But it didn’t stop there…by the time I got through the house I had a list of 25 little tasks that must be completed before this baby comes…such as shampoo carpets, scrub and touch up all base boards, organize laundry closet, make new couch pillows…and it goes on and on.  I mean come on…after completing that registry I better do something to use my space more efficiently.  If all that baby gear is coming in this house…my oh my it could get very crowded very fast   So do you think it will get done???  Under normal circumstances I would say no…that was just a random freak out moment and the list will just go with all of my other lists and eventually just get thrown out. BUT…it has only been 2 days and I have knocked off the first item…ORGANIZE THE PANTRY!!!!  I threw out all the old junk and took inventory of what I had left.  Then I made a trip to IKEA and got some containers and swung by Walmart to pick up a label maker.  I came home and put it all together.  The whole project took be about 4 hours, including the shopping.  I think I can get all this done.  I just have to think ”ONE PROJECT AT A TIME.”  I’ll keep ya posted!
