Thank GOODNESS summer is here!!

I just reread my last post and realized it's been awhile since all of that craziness! I am so happy about that.

School finally finished. My eldest found buddies to hang out with for 3 days straight. The youngest and I got crackin' on the mess around here and since school was out I have:

1) emptied the toy box; donated usable toys to Goodwill; thrown out broken toys
2) reloaded toy box w/ the remaining toys and CANNOT believe the toy box is still full!
3) weeded out books from 4 bookshelves. Have made 3 trips to Half-price books and and up $25.00!
4) completely cleaned both of my kiddos' bedrooms!
5) gotten rid of piles, boxes and bags of stuff that were in the upstairs living space
6) hosted Stamp Club. We made two simple, but elegant cards
7) had a new guest @ stamp club! Hi there!!
8) completely cleaned the formal dining room after stamp club and it's great!
9) cleaned out the rat's nest that is my corner of the living room. I only have one handwork project in the room now!
10) cleaned out the shelves on my half of the master bedroom closet
11) completely cleaned out and organized the linen closet upstairs
12) spot cleaned the carpet in 3 rooms only to have the cat up-chuck in one of those rooms LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AFTER I FINISHED CLEANING IT!!!

So all in all a very productive two weeks since school was finished.
Happy me!!
