Top Five...

The Top 5 Messiest Areas of our house...

1. My Closet. Get a picture in your mind. Skinny White Wood Double Doors. Open the doors to see Kent's side and then my side. Let's be honest, you would def look at my side first because the sight of it would absolutely take your breath. Very top shelf = bags...lots and lots of bags. I am a bag lady, what can I say. No...do not get the image of Prada, Gucci, Hermes, Balenciaga, Alexander Wang, YSL, etc. Think more along the lines of free Lancome with $25 purchase, Free Triathlon Backpacks, Louis Vuitton small duffle..he he just kidding...seeing if you were paying attention! Then, we have the shorter shelf with two columns of sweatshirts. Then we have the dress section. But the worst of all is...the floor...that houses my shoes. I am seriously thinking of investing in the shoe rack that you slide out from under your bed. I think that might lower my stress in the mornings to not have to look over the shoes that take up all of my floor space...okay...tomorrow, I am cleaning out my side of the closet. And oh yeah, the reason I haven't mentioned what Kent's side looks like is because...it is neat. Dress pants together, jeans together, button up dress shirts together, sport coats together, suits together, etc, etc, make you wanna gag. But then again, my side will make you wanna gag, too. But for all the wrong reasons.

2. The Junk Drawer. I realize the junk drawer in the kitchen is SUPPOSED to be junkie, however, I have two junk drawers. The one in the kitchen...which I can blame on Kent and I both. But, then there is the junk drawer in my bathroom...that is clearly mine. Blame can only rest on my shoulders. Okay...task two for tomorrow. Clean out the bathroom junk drawer. My day is filling up faster than I would hoped!

3. The Back of my Truck. Don't ask me why. I live out of my car. Let me give you a preview of what is in the back of my truck. A small high chair. Maternity clothes that Johnna let me borrow and I am planning to get back to her, which is why they are in my trunk. Magazines to use in the classroom during center time. You know. Cut a picture out of the magazine and make up a story that matches the pictures. Cut out nouns and place them in a noun circle map. Cut out a picture and list 10 adjectives about that picture, etc. A box of scrap fabric to donate to the art teacher. Art teachers are constantly looking for materials. Art teachers are creative. They can use anything you have. So clean out your house and give your school art teacher some well needed supplies. Point of #3. My trunk is a diaster!

4. My sock drawer. Because I keep all socks. Even though I have a sock monster that eats only ONE of the socks from my favorite pairs of socks. And I just keep my lonely pairs of socks on the bottom of my prayer list and just hope that I will find that one cute purple nike sock that I like to wear when I work out.

5. My School bag. Halloween toy spider rings...for bribing children to stay on green those crazy full moon days. A gazillion fabric swatches, remnants from the start of BimKreations. USB cords and battery chargers for batteries, yearbook adviser...gotta have a working camera at all times. Fiber One bars for those hunger fits that I have at 10:00 every morning...so I don't eat what the children are eating for snack (chocolate chip cookies, pop tarts, fruit loops, etc.). Can of Lysol. Bottles of water.

5 messy spots...not bad! I'm kind of impressed! Let's see, where is my messiest spot in the house? Oh...hands down...the alcove in our master bedroom. It houses all the kid toys that need to be put into storage, but in order to get into the storage we have to empty my closet...which is the second messiest place, so the thought of all that stresses me! I should tackle that mission today during nap time.

Or maybe I'll just sip coffee and blog! Yeah, that sounds like more fun!
