Order or some semblance

Well both sets of the kids ornaments have been ordered. I already have X's but it sucks that I can't put them up till next year. Oh well. A's should arrive any day now. I still haven't ordered the pearl one but must before it starts running over $30 average. Yuck. I've seen some go for 50.

Life has been just same ol same ol. I'm trying very hard to get back to the old schedule, before my dec. schedule. It's hard to go to bed earlier. My body is still having a hard time only sleeping 8 hours. It WANTS so badly to have 10 a night or more. I guess it all caught up with me because today I slept 11. Even with meds it's not making the difference. So I guess I'm just a freak and must sleep more than the average person? I hate it because it feels like I'm wasting life.

My house organization/rearranging is almost complete. I finished my dining room. Have 3 organized areas in it now. Dining, that we never use so it's just decoration. My art area which I LOVE! I moved 3 unused dressers in to house my supplies and it works so much better. Looks better too. I love having the sunlight to boost my lighting. I also love the computer area. It feels like a little nook or something.

X and A's rooms are done as far as organizing and rearranging. I like how it works now, but I still hate the ugly shabby barbie house in A's room. I want to build one in the bottom of her closet. That way I can also close the door and it will house the eye sore LOL! Plus I'm wanting to put a full size desk in there for her use. She loves to craft too... wonder where she gets that from? Her small kids desk does not cut it, what so ever. She's taken to using her bed as part desk and colored on her white sheets. Grr!

Now for the bedroom. I still need to move our massive brown cabinet thing from the living room to our room. I need to paint our room first so I don't have to move the cabinet back and forth. Just need to get the willpower to paint first. We are also wanting to sell our bed and buy a new frame, smaller than the old one. It's just too massive and takes up like 5 extra feet in frame alone. If anyone wants it, it's on craigslist! Posted Here.

So I really need to get on the ball with painting. Need to finish A and X's rooms, and do ours. The living is almost finished. I chose flat paint and I'm slightly regretting because it's a dark color, it shows any scratch or mark. I'm going to have to put a sealant or something on it. So it will wipe clean easily.

Phew, I'm tired just writing that all out. Now I need to just get to work!

Speaking of schedules you and I need to get together with our calendars and write in some playdates! It seems like everyone is on an organization spree! I want to see what your dining room looks like now, want to come over and help me get organized? :P

I don't know what size desk your wanting but we have a cheap older desk (I think it's actually a computer desk because it has a hutch with a tray that slides out for the keyboard) that you are welcome to if you want something for the interim.

I hate to say this but if you can help it I would repaint with semi gloss or get a VERY good sealant. We have flat paint and HATE it so much, you think it's bad now but truly every teeny tiny mark, scratch, speck of dirt, etc. will show. The natural oils from your hands and the kids will also stain and mark the paint terribly.
