18 Days!

I have such mixed feelings as August creeps by. On the one hand I am counting the days until I get my referral, on the other I am watching the end of summer break slip past me. There is so much I still want to accomplish. Last night I went out to the garage to get some dryer softener sheets and ended up spending hours out there starting to clean the whole thing out. Somehow that had kept falling to the bottom of my summer "to do" list. You know how a big cleaning project can get worse before it gets better? Well trust me, it's worse! I do not know how or why I have a accumulated all this stuff. It is out of control! The Christmas section expecially. I am definitely in purge mode. It could be because leading up to going out to the garage I had been watching Clean House. I love that show and I just want to yell to people agonizing over their junk, "Let it go!" Well now I am saying that to myself. There are so many things that I save because I might need them. Do you save boxes that things come in case they ever need to be returned or because you might resell them? I save all these boxes but I never resell things, I always just give them away. Well, stuff has got to go. Goodbye to my old life, hello parenting!

Angel, here is the dollhouse bookshelf now in Abbey's room. These are only her board books, and she has more in baskets downstairs. I'm not getting out any regular books until she's older. At some point I will show the whole room, but I still need to do the wall art.
