Friday to Monday craziness...

Another weekend has flown by. I don't even really remember what I did on Friday night, isn't that sad? Aw well, it was a full weekend even though Friday is forgotten. Saturday I puttered around the house because Hubby had to work. When he got home we went to Home Depot to pick up shelves and shelf fixins for the guest room closet. Saturday night I "baby"sat (they aren't babies anymore) my three cousins so my aunt and uncle could go to dinner for their ten year anniversary. The three cousins are all boys- ages 4, 6, and 8... at least I'm pretty sure that's how old they are these days. We watched a rhythm dance competition... as in ballroom, fancy costumes... and then some bull riding... as in chaps and cowboy hats. Got to keep them well-rounded, right?

Hubby went out with a buddy on Saturday night and when I got home, he hadn't returned yet. I was not tired for some reason, though it was pretty late. I decided to make a cup of tea and search my recipe books for new things to cook. I make a lot of the same things and I'm ready to venture out. I found a few and then it was bedtime.

One of my goals is to have Sunday be a day of rest, as it is supposed to be. Unfortunately, it didn't start this Sunday. One of my current projects is decluttering and purging stuff I don't need in my home. Part of that is going through our file boxes and getting rid of papers that are not necessary to keep. Gracie enjoyed the pile I was getting rid of.

My BIG project of Sunday was putting two more shelves in our guest room closet. Hubby couldn't help because he hurt his ankle again and was glued to his chair in the living room. Not that I need him, I'm not one of those fussy-can't do anything around the house-wives. It is amazing how much better the guest room looks now that that this closet is a better storage space. I am going to be going through all this stuff in order to get rid of stuff we don't need/use/etc. But for now it's nice to put it away in a closet so I don't have to look at it strewn about my guest room.

Here are some before and afters of the guest room from Sunday. Most of it got better just because of the closet fix up, but some of it was me moving things around and purging. And may I just say that I need to find a new verb. The word "purging" kind of grosses me out.

Pretty picture of the day. This photo doesn't nearly express what this cloud looked like. I went to pick up pizza on Sunday night and it just loomed over the entire skyline, almost like mountains. Of course by the time I had gotten the pizza, gotten back home, and grabbed my camera, it had diminished a bit. Aw well, it's still beautiful.

And in case you want to keep up with my FlyLady endeavors, today and tomorrow's zone is the Living Room. The "Kelly's Mission" for the day was to find all the hidden clutter in the living room and sort it out/get rid of it. Our living room is pretty clear of clutter, except for this little set of drawers. I cleaned them out and found proper homes for the crap... I mean stuff... that was in them.

The bottom drawer contained, and still contains, rolls for coins. I decided to go through our change and roll some of it up.

In addition to all these homemaking projects, I also carted Hubby to the doctor to have his ankle looked at. They wanted to do an x-ray, but they wanted us to wait around several hours for it. Hubby took the crutches and we went home. If it doesn't get better, he's got a check up next Monday. In the meantime, I get to chauffer him around because it's his right ankle and he can't drive. Ahh, the life of a devoted wifey.
