Around the House, or, Now Look What You've Started


This is my new corner project. See that nice Home Organizing book on the counter? That's no accident. I love this counter and specifically asked for it when we redid the kitchen. I envisioned it as my own little workstation. Well, look what's happened. There's a maraca, a dolly gurney, a PECS card for the potty, some random catalogs, the girls' hair do dads, Viewmaster thingys, my phone charger...this space is officially Not Working. I need to get stuff off the counter, get a file folder thingy on the wall, get something cuter to handle my supplies (bags of pens, staplers, tape, etc. is not getting the job done).....the wall that surrounds the fridge is tall and narrow and perfect for quick-view stuff, like a cute bulletin board, or something. I don't know. All I know this, this spot makes me a sad panda. And that's not what we're going for.









Grobles gave us some plants at our chinese-cambodian-italian dinner last night so I spent all morning putting them in, watering them, and the re-organizing everything else in the yard so that it looks weeded and clean. It's hard to admit that I can't have the backyard I really want (no grass, just plants and a path) because the kids need the space to play, but my day is coming. In the meantime, these new hosta and legolaria are going to have to whet my appetite for better yard days ahead.
