I Told You I Was Lazy

I'm outting myself on my unorganized-ness. It really does bug the living be-jeezus outta me that I have no motivation to organize this crap. You would think looking at it should be motivation enough.....but, nope! you're wrong. I start school on Feb. 1st and this needs to get done before then. So, I am posting all my nastiness on the internets for all to see and abhor. Most of the people I know who read my blog probably will throw up at the mayhem.....others may think "that's not that bad, but I can't believe she would post pictures of that mess!". It simply doesn't matter what people think, because obviously I don't give a damn if I'm posting pics of it right? My motivation is now that the internets have seen the yuckiness, I have to organize it and take pics of the after math BEFORE school starts. We'll see how that goes. I often play this silly little game with myself, but it never works. Manipulating your own self...does it ever work?

Now introducing my crap..........

this is Grady's room and this is actually clean. this goes all around his room. the toys have thrown up all over the place!! the task is to get this done with little to no moola. can it be done?

top of Grady's dresser. this will be easiest to do. do you see the elephant and giraffe on the dresser? those use to be hung above Grady's crib, but then the little Mc-Nugget was able to touch them and next thing I know they're behind the crib...and I haven't re-hung them.


this is the garage. do I need to say more? holy crap!! looking at it gives me a tummy ache.



this is all the paper shish. you know..mail, newspapers, CRAP!! don't be fooled if you're thinking that's not that much....we have about three piles of this crap laying around either in the kitchen or our bedroom. it is going to eat us alive.

Brad could honestly careless about any of this....which may be a good thing. My question is: how do I get it done with a toddler? You're kidding yourself if you think he'll sit nice playing with toys while watching me do it. Not my Mc-nugget. I put things away and he takes them out and throws them across the room. It's a fun game, didn't you know? This reminds me of a conversation I had with Meppy a few weeks ago at Disneyland. We met up with our sister, Julianne, and her FIVE boys. Mayhem, I tell you. But, organized mayhem. I noticed that Colby, Julianne's 2 year old, was walking by her and not holding her hand. And, he was actually listening to her when she talked to him. The second I take Grady out of his stroller, he takes off running full speed ahead....good times.

Me: "How does Julianne get her boys to stay by her and not run away from her? They need to teach Grady how to do that."

Mary: "Cuz Julianne's boys are momma's boys that why. They actually like her and want to be around her."

Me: "Blow me, bitch!"

We both laughed. Yes, this is the way my sister's and I communicate with each other. Name calling. It works. You should try it.

if you caught me a week earlier, before going back to work... oh, this is like my wet dream. you know how i love to organize. ikea has great tubs for grady's room. i have a wire shelving unit (from kamrt) in michael's closet with ikea tubs (the tubs are $1.99 each, and come in red or blue). you can do it... i know you can. and once you get his room done it may motivate you to do more... but just focus on grady's room first :) enlist your mom or mil to babysit for a full day and go to town. i'm rooting for you hal!!!! you can do it! xoxo

Oh, my gosh! You're like one step away from those shows on hoarding. Bwahaha! (This is where I leave you message on your phone about how I hope you know I was being sarcastic.)

Move back and leave it all there.

That is my solution.

BINS! I know you said you have to do it on a very small budget, but the bins are the ONLY way. That way Grady can only get into what you want him to get into. If you stuff the other bins away in the closet and rotate them, he'll think it's Christmas everytime you open a new bin. Don't get fooled and buy one of those racks at Target that have the open top bins. Total waste of time.

Make Brad take Grady over to M & D's or wherever on his day off and spend the whole day letting you do what you need to do. Or, just ship him to us. The boys loved playing with him and talk about him all the time.

I seriously wanted to say something when you were telling me about this during our visit. I wanted to tell you I'd help you and let's do it now, but thought it was kinda pushy. Now I wish I would have. Don't worry, I'll be there in March and if you don't have it all done by then, I will most definitely be pushy!!!!!! Watch out, cause I'm serious!!!!!!!!

I don't clean and organize anything. I just leave it for Brian to do. The only time I clean and organize a thing is if we make it a date (Ha ha, you'll have to read my post about cleaning out our closet). Anyway,I don't have any big answers on all of it. But I think bins seems to work well and doing it when the Grady takes a nap or when Brad is home to watch him.


Now about Julianne's boys staying by her. Man that made me laugh. But seriously, my Blake he was just like Grady but my Conner and Brilynn were like Julieanne's little guy. I think it's a personity thing or maybe the younger ones just observe the older ones walking nicely by their mom. Hmmm... not sure.

Well it was good to hear from you!
I hope you are all doing well!

Love,
JoLynn

Hi I just stumbled on your blog, who knows how, but I can COMPLETELY relate! I have just started on my house and a few tips I thought of for you if you want them... chuck out all the paper stuff and use the basket/s that's in as a spare toy box and find other boxes in the garage (which looks just like my spare room btw) and use them as more toy boxes. I just throw stuff out all the time now. I am LOVING it! It took a bit but you can do it!

the story about julianne's boys made me laugh out loud, and I'm by myself. SO FUNNY! Leave it to Mary.

My crap is way worse than your crap, but... I understand your frustration and lack of time withough a 'helper'. If you want Mom or Dee to watch little G for a while and I can come and help you organize, maybe that will work. We can drink (Coke) and organize and bitch at the same time:)
