Pregnancy nesting!!

Tackling 2 years of Clutter, and kid destruction...So I am a bit of a OCD type person, I like my house tidy...can I keep it tidy??...is the next challenge.  Being 24 weeks pregnant and starting the nesting process, has certainly opened the doors to reclaiming our house from winter gear, toys and clothing, and clutter!!!  It is going to be a slow process, because while trying to do this while a destructo baby is pulling out every thing I just cleaned has left me feeling frustrated on many occasions.  Baby K #4 is due in only a few months time, and now is my chance to get this house ready, and get ready for year 2 of homeschooling with an extra little person in our lives.

Today I tackled our mud room and our Boot and coat closet,  Which just made me feel a little better about my house, mean while, my children  re-created Hiroshima down stairs in our play room.  I don't think there is a box that isn't been over turned....This OCD momma is now going to have to go and sort through it all, and put everything back in there appropriate bucket or boxes....I drive my self crazy some days. I hate clutter, yet clutter finds me, and leaves my head feeling over whelmed and when I get that way motivation can some time slip away.  I hope and pray that I am not the only mommy, that some days would rather go get our snow shovel and shove all the toys under our stairs...However...that would drive me batty just knowing that was there. 

Today I made a to do list of all the things I want to do in each room of the house, things we have been putting off getting since we moved in almost 3 years ago..Today I moved side tables that were suppose to be in our guest room, 3 years ago, and ended up in our master bedroom, finally found their homes in there intended location.  It feels good to get stuff in my head on to paper and start checking things off.  The list has significantly grown over the last day...and the likely hood of me being able to get it all done before baby....highly unlikely.  Planting season for our family farm is right around the corner. So just have to do what I can and let will be will be.  

Blessings!

Mommy AK
