After making fun of myself in my last post for the spelling errors in the previous one, I made an even bigger gaffe at the end of that one.

All 3.5 of my remaining readers were too kind to point it out.

*Sigh*

Perhaps I should forget blogging and stick with pursuing an editing career. Or an edioting career, as seems more likely. Although I'm not sure I'd want to be the author with the misfortunate to get me as an ediotr.

Changing the subject without any sort of transitional sentence whatsoever (and would you believe I just typed "snetence"?)...

My schoolroom makeover is finished and ready to be organized! Not that it necessarily will be, since I have learned that reorganized space does not, unfortunately, somehow magically turn me into an organized person. (I can be very organized on paper; with "stuff", not so much.) But having so much extra shelf & cabinet space definitely helps, and so does simply having something "different". We all need to change things up every so often. Although we did not end up tearing out stained carpet other than in the new supply closet, the other changes --closet, "new" (recycled) cabinet & shelving, and furniture rearrangement-- have made a huge difference. My "new" space is much cleaner-looking, more unified, & less cluttered. (Well, until I get my stuff in it, anyway.)

You want pictures, I know. Yes, I have some. It remains to be seen whether I will have time to post them. Besides, I'd prefer to wait and take more pictures after I have everything in the schoolroom & supply closet put away & organized.  (Which means you may be waiting a very very very long time.)

I did get most of my history-and-lit shelf put away already. That was the fun and easy part, since I knew exactly how I wanted to do it. The rest, not so much. I also need to get the lightbulb changed in the supply closet before I can do anymore in there. Funny how that lightbulb worked perfectly fine for years and then decided to burn out a day after we made over the closet.

By the way, unlike my cousin & facebook friend who claims to have "literary ADHD", I think I must have "project ADHD". I really function much better on a one-thing-at-a-time basis, but you wouldn't know it.  Much as I can't stand the idea of starting one project before the last one is completed, I have a tendency to do just that. In this case, I sabotaged my far-too-long-in-process-but-nearly-finished bedroom reorganization project by stealing a cabinet from the bedroom to anchor the schoolroom project. It would just match the schoolroom shelves too too perfectly, so despite the fact that I had just organized it in my bedroom on Monday, I emptied it out again on Friday and had it carried to its new home downstairs. It looks great down there, but I'm not sure what I will do with all the clothing and miscellaneous stuff that used to be in it and is now all over my bedroom floor...

So I've had fun with my new space, but now I need to stop and get to work on the edioting joob. I may even try working in my "new" space rather than my office-away-from-home, aka P*nera Bre*d. We'll see how that works, since it is still out in the middle of everything; our schoolroom is not actually a room with a door but a corner of a large open room. My kids are perfectly quiet & content in their rooms right now, but I'm sure that as soon as I sit down in the schoolroom to do some work, they will be right next to me needing something and then will be back to ask something five minutes later and...

I'd work in my bedroom instead, but there are homeless clothes and stuff all over. See paragraph immediately preceding the last one.

This blogpost is beginning to sound as though I have Blogging ADHD. Rambly posts seem to be the only kind I can write lately. Don't expect any sort of a real "ending" to this, either, because I haven't come up with one. This is it. In fact, edioting hopeful or not, maybe I'll just stop right here, in the middle of a
