In case anyone is wondering...yes, I have made a small amount of progress on the downstairs mess. If I took a picture, you wouldn't be able to tell that I've made any progress, but I know that I have. I'm sure I would've made palpable progress had my husband not been away for the long weekend and had I not been simultaneously potty -training our 2 year old and sleep-training our almost 1 year old. Not that I'm complaining (I've given that up for Lent. HA!) That's just life with kids.
What holds me back is that I still don't really have a plan for where everything should go yet. I've done a lot of sorting and have put lots of odds and ends into containers. The work remaining involves labeling and savvy storage solutions. I may even have a label maker purchase in my future. We'll see if the finished product eventually resembles the neat, organized and humbly elegant vision inside my head!
Intermittent, sometimes coherent ramblings of a sleep-deprived mom and her family of mostly-homeschooled kids
Welcome to our slightly imperfect, often chaotic but happy life!
- A Night Owl's Musings
- I'm a homeschooling mom with six wonderful kids ages 15 down to 1. Our life is busy, busy, busy with teens, tweens and toddlers but everyone helps out and somehow we manage to keep it all together -- well, to some extent, anyway! Here's a brief glimpse at our life, mostly through mom's eyes.

Quote of the Month
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." ~ Teddy Roosevelt

Looks great. Funny and nice to see you still have that perpetual calendar I gave you hanging on your wall. I had forgotten about it.
