Gosh.

Several hours of work last night.  I am so glad I decided to ’swap’ the rooms out - I never would have found half the junk I did if I had simply moved DS6 into DS12’s room.  And Renee, I can sympathize with your cat situation.  I couldn’t believe what I found from the ferrets.  I am very upset with them right now.  Enough said about that.  My garage is JAM PACKED with furniture - as in, you cannot even WALK THROUGH it right now.  Garbage is overflowing everywhere (and MBFF’s hubby took 3 black contractor bags of garbage with him to discard last night!).  But, DD’s furniture is in the middle of her room (room being painted tomorrow) and the closets are done, and the boys are basically just awaiting their furniture arrival on Tuesday.  Their new TV is set up, looks very nice.  DD’s arrived yesterday (got her the cutest 22″ pink lcd) and she hasn’t even seen it yet.  I made a joke at the dinner table that there is no Christmas this year after all the money we spent on the room swap, and DD said, “But Mommy, at least you don’t have to pay any money because Santa brings our stuff.”  Uh huhhhhh, of course sweetheart. ;-)

I also spent a 1.5 hours - 2 hours steam cleaning the carpets in DD’s new room/DS12’s former room.  I am really mad at him.  I am going to do another run through this morning so it has 24 hours to dry before the painter comes.  Moving on.

I went to bed at 1 am, and was up at 6 am and just couldn’t sleep because I had ALL these thoughts running through my head of what needed to be done.  I laid there until 7, then finally got up and decided to clean out my closet (a huge disaster area … not dirty, just too much stuff everywhere).  I have a huge box and several bags of MORE stuff to get rid of.  I think in September I am going to do a yard sale and make some Christmas $.  Yard sales are a LOT of work, I need to make sure it will be worth it.  Anyway, now my closet is cleaned out (1.5 hours, not bad) except for the upper shelves.  That is mostly stuff I store - old cards, kids artwork, etc. - that is not going anywhere, just needs to be organized.  That can wait for another day.

Last night Chinese I had a little chicken w/broc, peppersteak, white rice, and 4 bite size pcs or so of sesame chicken.  And half an egg roll.  I could have done without the sesame chicken, but I am pretty sure I burned those calories off.

I was aiming to do a workout this morning.  Ha.  I will reallyyyyyyyyyyyy need to talk myself into it.  Painter doesn’t come until 11 am tomorrow (which, btw, concerns me that he will get this done, but whatever) so at least I have some time in the AM to myself to workout.

After lunch, we are heading out for the last few things … new blinds, one more set of sheets (need orange! for DS6’s Mets bed) and then some school clothes.  After shopping, we are picking up DS12’s friend for a sleepover.  It is actually MBFF’s little brother (14 yo).  His mom will be away tonight and she asked if he could stay over.  Since DD’s room won’t be lived in until Monday, I may have the twins sleepover with me tonight.

Great.  Another night of no sleep. :-D

9 am and now I am getting sleepy again … now that I need to go make breakfast and start my day.  Figures!
