WHY do I leave everything until the last minute??? My in-laws are coming tomorrow afternoon. We’ve had such a crappy weekend that we didn’t get much done. So the rest of it has to be done tomorrow. That includes: folding and putting away about 10 loads of laundry, washing another 4 loads, scrubbing the ‘kids’ bathroom, cleaning the kitchen, sweeping and mopping floors, vacuuming the living room, hallway and my bedroom, rearranging and straightening my bedroom, cleaning out the fridge and trying not to kill the children. The kids have been difficult lately. Constantly bickering and whining, tattling, antagonizing each other and generally being total pains in the butt. With them home it will be so hard to get everything done that is on my list. By the time Dave’s parents get here I’ll be passed out on the floor, drooling into the carpet. And the kids will be grounded to their beds for a month. I hate that I left everything to the last minute but last week was a tough one for me emotionally and mentally. I was unable to find the motivation to do anything. So tomorrow I will kill myself and possibly throw out my back trying to rush and get my house mostly presentable. I suppose you are catching on here that housekeeping is not my forte’. My talents lie in other areas!

Want to see pictures of my sewing room? Well, technically it’s half my room, half Dave’s room. But to me, it’s 90% my room and Dave can bite me. Since I’ll be spending a good portion of my days in here, I figure I get to be the boss.

Just a warning: this room is a disaster. I felt sick most of the day today and got next to nothing done in here. I need to spend a couple hours straightening it all out. But it’s low on the priority list right now.

Please don’t judge me! (Ok, deep breath. You can do it Mandi…)

Standing behind the door in a corner:

Dave’s desk area:

This is my side of the room:

To the left of the table is the closet. The rolly-bin to the left has the 2 bottom drawers full of remnant fabric. Less than 1 full yard stuff and stuff I got out of the remnant bin at Joanns:

The area behind the door:

And, my favorite! The fabric!!

So, there you have it. I’ll have to take and post some after pics. When I am actually proud of what this room looks like!! And I’ll do a house tour when the house is sparkley. Not that I have anything to show off but house tours are fun for others to see.
