Oi-Vey!

I feel like I am falling farther and farther behind on everything.  My things-to-do list keeps getting longer!  You'd think that since I'm off four days a week, I'd be able to make a dent in this place!  And in reality, I spend more time cleaning up and getting followed around by Jaxen all day.  I think I'm just going to have to lock him in his bedroom to play while I get some things accomplished!

We have been in our house exactly one month now.  And I have yet to unpack this house. . . 90% of our stuff is boxed out in the garage.  The only things in this house are the things that we need and use all the time.  My kitchen is about 85% unpacked. . . and if I need something I just go out to the garage and get it!, the bedding and towels are all unpacked, every one's clothes and the large furniture are in inside the house and that's about it!  My poor children have their Christmas toys and that's it!  Hehe, it's going to be like Christmas again when I get their packed boxes inside the house!  Horrible, I know!  But I just haven't felt like doing it.  But now I am thinking that I NEED to!  I want pictures on the walls!  I want to make this place 100% ours before I get to fat to do it!

So I figure if I write it all down, a day or week at a time. . . you will hold me accountable for it right?!  I need to get this place whipped into shape before Chloe's birthday party!
