Being organized is being in control

We picked a move-in date for side #2... and it's quickly approaching.  We picked our 6th anniversary for our date, which is August 14th. That is only 37 days away. Will it happen? Well, we are going to try as hard as we possibly can for it to happen.

To do this I realized I need to come up with a strict timeline and schedule. When you have a lot to do, sometimes you don't know where to start and you just end up accomplishing nothing.

I'm still not done with the schedule because it's more time consuming than I thought. But, it's mostly broken down and it seems like we may be able to make our deadline. It basically depends on whether or not we can get the water and electric straightened out and stay within our tiny budget for that.

Aside from all the work that needs done at the house, I also have a list of stuff I'd like to get done during the week when I'm home with the kids. It's tough to get anything done, but sometimes Amelia does sleep a little. I'm sleep-deprived, but this stuff has to get done and I can rest when we move.

I've started visualizing all the rooms and picking out what I want. When we moved into the mobile home we got rid of nearly everything, so we are almost starting from scratch. I have several pieces of furniture I want to spruce up to take with us to save some money.

Today I got a gallon of my favorite paint - marshmallow. I can't explain why I love it, but I do. It's not white, it's not off-white, it's not eggshell - it's marshmallow and it is the best. I'm going to use that for furniture that I plan to put in Amelia's room.





I'm also going to use it for this little $5 table I found & turn it into a Lego table for Abigail's room.
