Neat Freak

Being a neat freak makes it really hard to also have a large family. I am still working on the house trying to get things in order so everything has a particular place and is not a struggle to find. Today I went through the boys' toyboxes....all three of them...and donated the toys to another friend who picked through and donated them through freecycle. This is yet another thing that was on my list that I wanted/needed to get done before surgery. We usually do it around Thanksgiving but since I am expecting to be "incapacitated" during that time, well...it's gotta happen now.

Yesterday we spent the whole day cleaning the garage and moving in the new chest freezer. All of my bakeware and pyrex are now organized on the shelves in the garage (I have a special set of shelves just for my cookware(s)). -- Pyrex is kept in the garage to keep the littles (and Harley) from breaking it! It's such a sense of accomplishment to get these things organized.

I gotta get off my butt and make some more laundry soap, but that's not gonna happen tonight.

Oh I had a flash of when Zac & Tyler are teens (er, that's sarcasm, I hope I don't hear this when they are that age)! They were being far too quiet so I peeked around the corner..Zac was "writing" on the hallway wall with a pencil (ends up it was not a sharpened pencil so he wasn't actually writing)...well I didn't know that and my first reaction was to yell "Zachary Allen Davis ____"...Tyler had been sitting right next to him...They both turned and looked at me...Zac was like, "what? am I doin' something wrong" kind of look on his face...Tyler froze and then stood up and said to Zac "come on Zac, let's get out of here...this way....hurry!!!" *sigh* I love that they are watching out for each other now...Amazing Zac doesn't talk much yet..but he sure knows how to tattle!

Ah, so many things to blog about, so little time. I am so tired and so are my eyes. I really want to be able to spend some quality time here so I'm not so rushed...we'll see how it goes after surgery...I wonder if they will let me have my laptop once I'm out of ICU?
