Cold again!!!!!!

It is cold again here in Wisconsin!!!!!! I am bundled up catching up on my blog!!!!!! I have still been on my de-cluttering mission!!!!!! I cleaned out the lockers this week and the  book shelf in the dining room. That part looks good but now the dining room table is full of stuff again!!!! I ordered some vintage inspired light fixtures that are pendant style for the kitchen .The box is on the dining room table waiting until we have time to install !!!!! We will have to rent some scaffolding since our ceiling is so high ,so not sure when we can do this. I am hoping the sooner the better!!!!!

De-cluttering

During the week I have been working on de-cluttering. It helps me feel like the house is getting somewhere.We still have to tape and mud the new dining room so I probably won't be able to paint for a few weeks!!!! I am extremely anxious to get this room together!!!! I have the paint color selected ,the lighting is ready to be hung,a few other items of furniture besides the dining room table are ready to be placed. I feel like I need order in my house already.We still have to tile the bathroom that we added the claw foot tub. At least THAT room is functioning and clean!!!! The rest of the house feels a little cluttered due to the renovation(there are probably tools in almost every room!!!!) BUT,I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel.I looked up THE FLY LADY website.It is a website about cleaning and organizing.It has helpful hints including getting dressed everyday and putting on your shoes even if you are not going anywhere.Basically start looking good to feel good.Today,I am dressed( w/ accessories) and have makeup on!!!! I stay home w/ kids and am usually dressed in workout clothes(sweats) or work on the house clothes(sweats w/paint on them).I used to dress more glamorous back in the day!!!!! One of my goals this year is to look good at all times, not just if I have somewhere special to go.So after we are done with the house I will be buying fashionable clothes again!!! When we are done with the house I WILL have money for new clothes!!!! LOL

Spring break

This week has been my kids spring break. We have basically done nothing!!!!! A few days were nice so the kids went outside then yesterday it snowed .I am soooo tired of this weather!!!!It makes you feel depressed!!!! I have tried to rest and not worry about the house.This week Oprah had a rerun on an episode of hording.I posted about it before.Now when you watch that show you instantly want to start de-cluttering your home.So,I was like, oh no here we go again!!! When I went downstairs to start the cleaning ,I was pleasantly surprised.I finally felt like we already had de-cluttered.Our house is actually clean!!!!!! Now if I can only get rid of the plaster and dry wall dust that keeps appearing everyday(lol)!!!
