It's Too Much!

Well, I am almost back from my Mt. Everest trip. I had to stay awhile and acclimatize myself but I think I have almost completed the mountain of laundry I had forming. I also spent time doing the following: cleaned my fridge (I realized where all of my plastic containers went to), de-junked the laundry room, chucked the rotting potatoes in the pantry, organized the cupboards in the bathroom and kitchen, removed a layer of hardwater from the tub ( I am still buzzed from the chemicals), made our bed, hung pictures in our bedroom, spent hours cleaning and scraping paint and plaster from our bathroom which we have never used until this weekend, mopped the floors, hung some shelves in the family room, and started the process to paint the cabinets in the bathrooms. It may not sound like much but this has taken all week, and I still have more to go.

Why am I worrying about all of this?

Well my original plan was to wait on any organizing until Sandra made her way down here, and yes I realize that could be two years from now, but I was willing to make that sacrifice. The truth is, we are having some friends move in this summer while they try and sale their house and before they move. When you realize someone else will be living in your home without you, you really open your eyes and see all of the dark and hidden corners you can hide when people are just visiting. My eyes have been opened, and I have been going crazy ever since. It doesn't help that our house is still NOT FINISHED, so we have baseboards half off, missing faceplates on all outlets, tape on the walls, a toilet that has never worked, and I can go on and on and on. I could spend the rest of my days working on this blasted house but I have to be finished because I leave for Jean and Eric's Wednesday, and will not be back until August! I can't wait to get out of here and just leave this mess behind!

Oh, and in the mean time, the laundry is piling up again.
