Well, .. I have specific challenges I face and this place really makes me stay on my toes .. I have gotten rid of a ton however there is more to go .. really my next project is filing .. that will eliminate a lot of crap and give me a little more storage. 

They come in and do random inspections .. ugh .. I'm really hoping they don't come today however they can .. they are doing 5 places.  I'm just exhausted at this point and I have literally been in a mad rush to try and put things away .. I have crammed a 3 bedroom house into a 3 bedroom apartment .. lol .. it is not easy.  Plus I really haven't been around much with the kids home it gets challenging.  I am in the middle of installing the last set of blinds.  I'm taking a break because I'm ready to throw the blinds out .. it has been challenging is putting it mildly. 

I may be cluttered it is clean, .. although right now I'm cleaning my oven as we speak as well .. LOL .. so if they look in it .. it's a mess is stating it mildly .. LOL .. oh well, could be worse. 

There was some drama the other night when my son had a friend spend the night .. 2am and the tornado sirens were going off .. I'm pounding on the kids doors telling them to get up and go sit in the closet .. LOL .. so after everything settled down we all went back to bed.  I guess the kids were more upset than I realized .. I hope I didn't traumatize anyone .. it was just funny because neither of them said anything!!!

Anyway, I'm holding together which is a good thing.

Hugs S :)

Serenity: I am impressed with your ability to clean an oven and write to us, too!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember those whirlwind days of childcare, housekeeping, working and trying to make everything work together. No easy task. Maybe tonight can be one of those "Calgon, take me away nights?" Hugs, sister

Don't be to impressed .. LOL .. I literally was falling asleep at the wheel so to speak .. so I got off the computer and said .. nap time! I don't know what to do about the stove .. I'm going to try and reapply the easy off oven stuff .. I have NO idea what is in that pizza grease it is awful to get off though and what is bad is it's not like I have lived here for years .. it's been 2 months and this stuff is like black tar .. I have done SOS pads it just doesn't want to budge.

I haven't been sleeping well there is a lot on my mind is putting it mildly. I think hormones as well gak! Ever since the tornado sirens in the middle of the night .. solid sleep has been elusive .. I do have a clean house so I will take that and I have been going since 530PM yesterday cleaning done at 12AM and then back to it at 5AM. It's not that the house is that dirty .. it's that I was literally pushing and pulling many boxes. I did get through another few and there is a pile that are deemed trash or give away.

Anyway, it's spaghetti for dinner. I think I will take a bath .. I will enjoy it a great deal!

Hugs S :)

I am awake today .. LOL .. I realized that I took a hammer and literally a seriated knife to the blinds to make one side fit after that I thought oh to hell will it all and hung the sheet back up on the other window .. I will deal with that tonight. I have a truck load of stuff to get rid of and I think that just for today maybe the kids and I will eat out tonight .. I shouldn't however .. it would be nice to take the extra break. I'll see what winds up trickling in from the support.

It's been a LONG week to say the least. I'm hoping that STBAX takes the kids like he says he's going to we will see. They are geared up and ready to go and I'm ready to stay home and relax!!

Hugs all off to work I go, S :)
