Happy 2014 -- Are you Organized?
December 31, 2013
Okay, so I'm big on planning this year. Because, as I said, 2013 sucked, so I'm hoping NOT to relive it anytime soon.
After my daily word count, I am organizing like a mad chick. We have these laundry room cabinets, and the shelves are all falling down, so they're not much use. I went the hardware store, and my plan is to fix them today and organize the laundry room.
Not to diss DH, because there is a LOT I'm not good at, but we had dinner at my friend's house on Sunday night, and her husband was fixing the doorbell when we came in -- and then he took out the vacuum because something was on the floor. My son said, and I quote, "He's done more since we've been here that I've seen Dad do in six months."
Classic. And sadly true. For some reason, it really bothers this son to see me with a power tool. But necessity is the mother of invention and YouTube can show you how to fix anything.
Luckily, I am the daughter/granddaughter of a plumber and the granddaughter of a carpenter. I'm actually quite handy because of all the time I spent out in my grandfather's shop. Mostly to escape my grandmother's kitchen and baking lessons, but whatever. God knew I needed the handyman stuff more.
Anyway, are you organizing something for 2014?
(FYI, in the name of full disclosure, my kids also told me I need to take cooking lessons from my friend. Sadly, she's been trying since we were in high school. It is what it is.)
