Snow and Storage
Friday, December 01, 2006
It snowed quite a bit yesterday, after raining all morning, so the roads are a bit treacherous. DH went to work a couple hours late this morning just to be extra careful. Many of the schools are closed. It's kind of funny to me because we only got all of 2 or 3 inches of snow!!!! But around here, they just don't have the number of salt trucks and plows like up North. When there is forecast of snow here, people freak out and scurry frantically to Wal-Mart for bottled water and canned food....just in case they get "snowed in". Hee hee.I am in the mood to clean out and rearrange. I'm almost done with every bit of laundry in the house....and that includes folding/hanging, and putting in its proper place. It's a miracle. There are usually miscellaneous baskets lying around filled with socks and undies, half-folded jammies, some clean (but thoroughly wadded up) towels. But not today. Everything is in drawers or closets.
As I opened closets, I realized I need to make better use of our space. There is a pretty large storage closet in our laundry room that I've wasted since moving in over a year ago. Upon its 5 generously sized shelves are scattered items that could definitely be placed elsewhere. I've basically been using it as a catch-all for things that I'm too lazy to take to the garage or box up to put in the attic. I'm going to clean it out and use it for all my sewing items, craft/giftwrap stuff, and blankets that won't fit in the hall closet. All my sewing stuff is chaotically strewn throughout what will be the baby's room now. I'm not sure where to put my sewing machine. I may make space for it somewhere else in the house, but I'm not sure where yet.
Well, back to work!

Is that a serger I see up in that closet?? You could totally put all your sewing stuff in there and your machine. I got to the point where I would store my machines when not using them and it worked out well. You can just pull them out when you want. Wow, what a treasure to find that much space.
Kudos to you getting all the laundry done and folded and put away! Triple play there, girl! I did the same thing today. Sometimes I get depressed thinking, I'm just going to be doing this again in 3 days or so...but then that's why one of us is home, so we can get the chores done.
I'm off to read about your owie. P.S. thanks for wishing me a good Friday, that was nice.
