Wow, it's been a little while since I posted anything.  I guess I haven't had anything really to fuss about.  LOL.  Today, about the only thing I have to fuss about is that I've got a really stupid song stuck in my head.  My kids love to watch "High School Musical", so I've been hearing those same songs over and over and over and over.  So now, I've got one of them STUCK in my head.  Permanently, I think.

We're trying to get ready to start school on Monday, which has been a big undertaking.  As far as materials go, we're all set.  It's getting my house together and my school space organized that has been the problem!  You should SEE my HOUSE.  It's horrendous.  I am not kidding.  There is stuff on every flat surface throughout the house.  Part of it is because of our school closet makeover that is taking place.  See, last year, we started out with an empty closet and sort've half-heartedly threw some shelves in there.  Some were made from leftover MDF board that wasn't cut to the right size and some of them were even made from some leftover laminate wood flooring.  Well, throughout our school year last year, I discovered just how important a good "launch pad" is for school books and supplies.  So this year, we're doing it the right way before school gets started.

Here are some shots of just how trashy my house is right now.  Can I pull it all together by MONDAY???

(photo below: most of the contents of the school closet that got piled onto the dining room table.)

(photo below: more contents from the closet, stacked on ever flat surface available.)

(photo below: My poor kitchen that has suffered because I've been busy w/the closet project.)

I know it will be soooo worth it in the end, when I finally get my closet back together!  It will be nice to be able to actually walk in there and find what I'm looking for without having to sort through piles of stuff that fell off the shelves because the shelves were too short.  LOL.

I'll post some "after" pictures when I get it all finished.  How 'bout that?
