The view from my couch

I am way too organized for this. My house is a mess. I am looking at three mattresses right now and I am sitting on my couch…..I am not kidding. There is one leaning against the loveseat, one leaning against the gate to our downstairs and one leaning on our front door. There is a dresser by the coffee table. And an end table in the middle of the room. This is killing me, as I am the person who can't go to bed before the house is picked up or if there are any dirty dishes in the sink. There are clothes piled on the floors in our bedrooms, so that dressers could be cleared out to be moved into storage. The toy box is emptied and toys, games and puzzles are on my living room floor. Our guest room is empty, bean is sleeping on her mattress on the floor. It is going to be hard to live with mess and disorganization for the next two weeks. The good news is, with all this mess, comes progress. The storage unit was redelivered today and is being loaded with furniture and belongings that are staying behind. My husband’s parents are here helping, fortunately, and my mother-in-law and I took the girls to Disney on Ice to give them some fun today. Nothing like Mickey Mouse to cheer up kids! Hubby did make it home last night, finally, around midnight. We were both surprised he made it home last night at all, considering all the weather delays, cancellations and diversions his flights had yesterday. It’s so good to have him home and he won’t be going back until March 17th –when we all go over. This time will be busy and stressful, but at least we are all together again.
