HAPPINESS SMELLS LIKE CLEAN LAUNDRY!

 

AHHH!  HERE IT IS! 

 

The pile on the left is what needs to be ironed. 

 

The first basket is for the Master Bedroom... 

 a pile of clean towels (purple and green to match our dragonfly bathroom)

and Russ's clothes on the left side of the basket

with mine on the right. 

 

The next basket is the boys' laundry. 

A pile of blue and burgandy towels to match their lighthouse bathroom

 and a pile on the left of the basket for Jordan's room,

 a pile in the middle for Ian's room

 and a pile on the right for Noah's room. 

 

 The last basket is the girls' basket! 

The light blue towels match their fish/ocean themed bathroom. 

The pile on the left of that basket is Kaitlyn's

and the pile on the right is Hannah's. 

You can also see a book shoved into the basket. 

 I often toss things that go downstairs into their basket to carry down with their laundry! 

 

The little pile in front of my basket is the dish towels for our kitchen. 

Right now (for Winter) it is decked out with snowflake accesories and decorations (including an adorable snowman cookie jar that was a gift from, Jan...  Russ' stepmom!) 

 

Today is going well. 

Jordan is done with his schoolwork, today's laundry is almost done,

 Kaitlyn is almost done with her schoolwork. 

I have excercised

and showered

and have just a few minutes until Hannah arrives home from Kindergarten. 

 

After lunch, I plan to do my devotions,

grade Kaitlyn's schoolwork,

put away the rest of today's laundry,

and then start dinner before

picking up the other two children from school

to take them to swimming lessons! 

 

Feels good to be on track for a change!

 

I have decided that HAPPINESS SMELLS LIKE CLEAN LAUNDRY!

Feb. 24, 2006 - POPPED the JOY BUBBLE and other stuff

Posted by quietcajun

Jammie popped my joy bubble with that word... that really bad, bad, evil word... TEMPORARY .... yep... again, my washer is running, I have a fresh load to be folded sitting at the bottom of the stairs, there is a basket full of light laundry (all the way full already) sitting between the washer and the first dryer and have not even looked in the girl's room yet. I still need to iron that basket full and I am not sure if the girls put their two baskets full away yet! SIGH! Oh well, at least I see the "TEMPORARY" light at the end of the tunnel!!!! LOL

And... thanks to nsremom (I think that is who it was) for the compliments on my sponge painted walls. Yep, my two friends helped me do that. It turned out really nice. It looks like wallpaper. People usually think it is until they touch it! My two friends also did their rooms... exact same colors and it is really interesting how different our three rooms look with different accesories and such. (For instance, one of them has white crown moulding and that really lightens up the look!)

Enough rambling for now... this comment is long enough to be a post. I write some of my best posts in comment boxes!

My name is Christina. I am 38 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 18 years! My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (16), Jordan (14 next month), Ian (12.5), and Noah (10 next month)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (8 in September) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 12th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
