Bipity-bopity-boo!!!

Where oh where has MY fairy God mother gone??? I'm telling ya I could sure use one first rate, Disney princess style, fairy God mother right about now!!!! One who will wave her magic wand and make all my wishes come true!!! But you know, more than ALL my wishes coming true, I'd just settle for her coming in, waving her magic wand and in one swoop clearing away the boxes, clutter and moving mess! It of course would magically show up in the exact perfect spot that it should be put away to. Places that are logical, and easy to find. Places where I won't have to hear the bellow of "MOMMY!!!! Where is ____ (insert favorite toy from each child here!)!!!!!!!" Some place easy enough for my husband to find without having to walk through the house opening cupboard after cupboard trying to locate something that in the end was right in front of his face. Yes, I definitely thing that a fairy God mother is in order!!! Come to think of it, I think every mommy could use one in her back pocket for those "running out of options" times!


If you couldn't tell from my rant there, I'm still unpacking. I'm still trying to settle in. And I'm STILL trying to find the right home for the many odds and ends that are left to be put away. Oh. . . .and did I mention that this is only talking about the main level?? Yeah. . .I'm still just working on restoring order to our main level of living. Many many MANY things just get brought to the basement, to the area that will eventually be the kids' living room in the basement. I have a pile down there that's growing bigger by the box full that will be for a garage sale. I have a pile down there that needs to be sorted through. Its all the out grown baby clothes that now go up to size 3T for both boy and girl. I'm going to thin it DRASTICALLY. Half of my girl clothes already get passed on to my nieces, but the other half get saved for IF my brother and his wife have a girl someday. . . and ALL the boy clothes have been saved. So I'm going to go through and pick out the best of the best and save for them, and give away/sell the rest. I just can't keep holding on to it all any more. They have told me MANY times that they will need the hand me downs from my kids, but they're not expecting, and I don't even know that they're to the point of trying. So its all starting to add up quickly and I want it GONE!!!

I've been reclaiming areas of the house slowly but surely. But its NOT an easy process. There are still many parts of the house that have work to be done on them, like the basement. That's why its collecting all of the boxes right now. It wasn't ready to be a kids living room, so its storage for now. And the entry room still needs some tile work to be done, and getting situated. This is the room that I'm the most anxious about. It will be my "day care room" It will be where my changing table gets set up, where the day care tables, and toys will be housed, and in all reality its the most important room in the house to get finished!!! Right now it's still housing tools, and supplies, and things that I'd HAPPILY see go out of the house. I'm going to be starting day care here in June with an ADORABLE little boy. I can't wait!!! His mommy and I went to high school together, and just reconnected last summer. I'm very much looking forward to the honor of watching their little boy, and getting to see more of her, and her husband!!!


I guess the long, and the short of it is we're getting there. We're settling in, we're working on things (and by WE, of course I mean ME because my husband is always busy and has a million other things going on!) And its slowly starting to resemble something that I think I can call a house. Something that can even start to think of as a home. Sort of!!!

I'm hoping in the next few weeks to still keep working on it, and get it to a point where I'm ready to show pictures of it. Right now I don't want to share them. Its boxes, clutter, and mess EVERYWHERE!!! No pictures happening!!!!


So again, I say "bipity-bopity-boo Fairy God Mother WHERE ARE YOU!?!?!?!"
