Doing pretty well!

Well, I wanted to get things more organized around here and I've definitely been putting forth the effort! Last night I almost got Addy's playroom finished! I'm posting what I have complete, just have a few more things for the walls and storage stuff. It's looking really good! Naturally her favorite thing is the new Princess TV and DVD player! That girl is such a Sesame Street, Signing Time and Tangled addict! However, my plan is working and I've been setting out some toys on the floor by her that she is actually playing with while she watches! She LOVES her tub of different type of letters (foam, block, magnets etc. ) and they seem to end up all over the floor, but it's progress!

I had big plans to tackle my closet today. It was a complete disaster, Scott and I could barely walk in it! I had boxes to go through and tons of clothes. I seem to put things in the closet that need to be organized but I just don't have the oomph to do so! I knew it was going to be a major undertaking but it really had to be done! I have 6 bags of clothes, purses, and shoes to donate to the thrift store. I have some of my nicer things set aside for good friends to go through. Losing weight is at least good for cleaning out my closet! I have a few things that I got from another friend that I am REALLY hoping will fit by spring and all of the spring stuff I have from last year can be passed on as well! I need to do another before and after pic but I'm waiting until I hit the 100 pound mark and that's still a little ways away so you'll have to wait! I am exhausted, it took about 6 hours to go through everything , pack things up, put things in different piles, shred stuff etc.! I wanted to be finished by early afternoon but I didn't get to start until then. I got a call about 9 this morning from a crying Jarika :( poor girl fell last night and sprained her ankle AGAIN! So I met her in Springfield and we went to Urgent Care but it was closed today so we had to go to the ER, it took forever! Fortunately, the ankle wasn't broken but she is back in a gel cast and on crutches until she can go see her surgeon next week. She's had reconstruction surgery on this ankle twice already! We are hoping that this isn't surgical and just needs to heal. She probably needs physical therapy again. Good thing she works in a training room with Athletic Trainers huh!!?!
Well Happy New Year!
