Out with the old...

So today I am in the mood to do a deep cleaning. I've been organizing the stockpile after buying groceries last night. It really needed it. I usually try to keep up with expiration dates of stuff, so nothing goes bad. I am pretty proud of myself. The only thing I had to throw out was 1 bottle of salad dressing that I had missed. Everything else has 6 months or more. Now I'm determined to get my desk area, and my husband's desk area cleaned up today.  In a few weeks, *God willing* Jacob and I are going get new laptops. We have had 2 computers crash in the past year (including Hannah's ancient one) and are down to mine and an older laptop given to us by a friend-which is what I mostly use. It was given to us for Jacob to go to back school, which he did for a semester. He was going to go back in the Fall too, but he got a new job and had a lot of training sessions to do, and we weren't able to get him ready in time. I'm hoping he'll go back this Summer. If not, then I just might! .  Joshua and Hannah use mine to play educational games online, but the disc drive doesn't work, so when we get new ones, they will be able to use mine for school. Hopefully, Jacob will be able to fix the disc drive too. One thing we have missed was our online gaming. We played WoW and then Rift for a while on the pc, but when his pc crashed, there was no point in me playing by myself, and his laptop doesn't have enough memory to handle it.

......So I found my wedding band! I haven't had it for a couple weeks and I found it over here on my mess of a desk. Trying to sort out all this clutter over here, and get organized. Sifting through the trash, coupons, school stuff and random bills etc....I am NOT an organized person. We really do live in a kind of organized chaos. I really feel like I am constantly choosing between spending time with the kids, doing school, taking care of Jonah, spending time with Jacob, and getting the house clean....the house is always my last priority. I try not to stress about it too much, but every once in a while I have to go through and declutter because I can't stand it. ...be back later :D
