Wow, I got so much done today!  It all started when I decided to put together the metal shelf Jerry left sitting in the entry way.  Evidently, in the same spirit of the mouse with the cookie, if you give Belinda a shelf she will reorganize her whole house.  One thing led to another and I am now sitting at my desk, which is miraculously cleared off and I am typing this in the new school room/sitting room/very organized (for me) back room.  It is a thing of wonder.  At one point I was completely surrounded with chaos and I yelled to Jessica in the next room, "I'm stuck!"  She stuck her head in the room and said, "Put the copiers on those shelves, move the table that way and push the bowflex into that corner."  And she left to feed one of my grandkids.  Four hours later (and I am guessing) I had a beautiful place to be.  I moved the loveseat from the living room into this room and organized all my school stuff onto shelves.  You can't really understand the wonder of this if you are an organized person by nature.  I am thrilled. Everyday I am bringing order into another part of my home.  I mean I ORGANIZED this room.  I separated the plush toys from the plastic ones...the legos from the duplos...big books went on a shelf and toddler books went in a basket that went on a shelf. ..I even organized the plastic and wooden food in our toy kitchen. From a room full of buckets and baskets overflowing and no room to walk to an orderly, homey room filled with peace where I can gather my thoughts and accomplish my goals.  Can you tell that I'm excited?  There is no telling what I can do now...I'll let you know.
