Overwhelmed?? YES!!
I swear I think the “ROOM FROM HELL” is winning. My biggest problem is I really hate to throw anything away… So I sort each pile into different piles…… then I have to go back and sort those pile into other piles… AUGHHHHH!! WHY!??! WHY can’t I be one of those people that knows as soon as she touches something the first time whether it needs to be packed away or thrown in the trash, cleaned or donated? WHY?? can’t I be like that!?!? Nooooo I have to sort it a million times….. think about it…. sort it again…. UGH UGH UGH!!! Trash day better hurry up and get here before I change my mind about…

Better… but not done……….
Well, I am actually making headway in my (What did we decide to call it? Pig Sty?) room. But it’s throwing my schedule alllllll off. It was 3am this morning before I went to bed. Tthat means I over slept this morning and was almost late for work, where I walked around yawning all day. I was so tired!! When I got home I sat on the couch, turned on my laptop and promptly fell asleep waiting for it to boot up. Now it’s after 11 and I’m just now getting to bed. I’ll tell ya what! I’ll be so glad when this project ‘clean room’ done!!! (Note to self: learn to throw some things away!!…

Eye see you!
Pictures and knick knack things with eyeballs always stand out to me. I work for Haug Optometry soooo ya know… ya gotta have an eyeball keychain…. and at Halloween I sport an eyeball ring… eyeball necklace….. you know? funny stuff… but this one, this one is beyond me!!! (Trust me, it takes a lot to be beyond me!!!) Neighborhood watch: Here’s looking at you, Chicago! The City of Big Shoulders is now also the City of Big Peepers, thanks to artist Tony Tasset’s 30-foot-tall eyeball installed in Pritzker Park.

Did you know???
Did you know that extract of Vanilla has alcohol in it?? I had no idea! I’m 52 years old and I never knew that! I didn’t believe my Mom when she told me so of course into the kitchen I went. Sure ENOUGH! 35% alcohol on the Costco brand! THIRTY FIVE PERCENT!!! That’s insane! I can get drunk on my Vanilla and smell great at the same time! I know… you are gonna go look at your bottle now aren’t you? Ummm hummm thought so. So you do that. I’ll see you tomorrow.

Happy Fourth of July!!
What a great day! First I go SOOOO much done! Up at 7:30 to get the ribs cooking in the crock pot. Cleaned the house like a MAD WOMAN!! (even cleaned the fish tank!!) My house is sooooo clean!! (Well, everywhere except my what shall we call it? Pig Sty, office, craft room, ahhhh heck with it…… pig sty!) Which still looks SO BAD!! (In the daylight I definitely made it worse yesterday). Then a 4th of July BBQ. Food was great. Company (and by company I mean 2 of our 3 kids, Dan and my Mom) this group is funny as EVER. At one point DH looks at our son…

Pack rat?? Nahhhhhhh
I’m embarrassed to say this is my ‘catch all’ room…. it’s a craft room, a sewing room, a closet, an office and well…… a company is coming ‘hide it’ room. This is also the room we are expanding for my Mom’s new room. It has to be empty by August 1st. I truly have no idea where everything will go. It’s almost 11pm and I’m not sure I made it any better. I may very well have made it worse. But I am outta gas for today. Back at it tomorrow! I don’t think this is what I really wanted to do on my 3 day weekend!
