Started out so excited this morning
Jumped out of bed early and headed straight for my computer for my first challenge and logged on to the 30-day Organize-athon site for my first days instruction and along with others keen to join the challenge and waited and waited and waited
Realising it was the first of April sat thinking hmmm is this someones idea of a April fools joke Posted to the wall of the OrganizedWizard challenge asking was it a joke
The reply came letting us know that yes it is that date in Australia but not in the US where a lot of the readers are so therefore will be starting our time tonight
Great so only got caught by one April Fools joke
"Massive earthquake hits Loof lirpa Island off the coast of NSW - massive tidal wave predicted for Australian east coast stay alert"
With all the Tsunamis and stuff lately nothing surprises me so yep i got caught
Turned on the TV to see how bad it was going to be only to sit and watch with nothing about it coming on for a while Finally dawned on MOTH that it was a April Fools joke then looked at it again and laughed and congratulated the person who got me
Yep we call them Tidal waves not Tsunamis here We are just too big hehehhehe
Went into town and picked up a Dora sit and spin that i had purchased on a facebook sale for Jalan for a bit more exercise and then went to lunch at the Gladstone Hotel in Toowoomba
The meal was absolutely beautiful and we could not fault it I then spent my customary $10 on the pokies and won $15 a $5 profit After lunch i then proceeded to lose my $15 but had a enjoyable lunch
Came home in time to pick Jalan up from school Talk to the after school people about booking her in just in case we are delayed or have a meeting to go to
Came home and caught up on my emails and argued a bit on a site where as far as i was concerned i had won an item from a online auction but the owner said i hadnt so got a bit stressed out and sent a few emails back and forth then posted on the site and promptly got banned for posting screen shots of the truth and disagreeing with what was said
Darren (MOTH) by this stage had done Jalans treatments for the afternoon and her physio and fed her the usual Friday night fare of Gems ok so the every second night fare of Gems ok most nights unless we want to argue and get her upset and then she wont eat anything at all Some nights it is actually interspersed with chips or on the odd occasion meat and vegetables (2 -3 bites of cauliflower and 4 bites of mashed potato if we are lucky and 1 small cob of corn) Oh and 1-2 bites of meat
At least with her Gems she eats about 10-12
At a pinch or stress this might be changed to 1-2 pikelets with maple syrup and a chocolate custard for dessert
We honestly do try other foods but mostly it is just left on her plate with a yuck im not eating that or with one lick with the same comment thereby rendering it totally inedible to anyone apart from the dog
That is if we dont catch her before she adds it to the garbage bin thereby rendering it totally inedible
Darren went of to a coal mine meeting and left me at home with a child needing a bath that curled up on the chair beside me and was asleep before he had even closed the back door
He got home just as i remembered that i hadnt got my email for todays challenge so went looking for it
Logged onto facebook and went to the page and read the challenge
Yep you guessed it The only challenge i didnt want today The lounge/living room
AAAArrgghhh they read last nights blog i know
Read the blog and nearly cried Darren gets home to me madly rushing around grabbing the camera to take before and after shots to prove YES i did it
He thinks i have gone nuts but that is nothing new
Due to the crappy low watt lighting we now have and the colour of my lounge the pics are not the best but it at least proves I DID IT
*Note craft baskets behind the chair
Start the timer and rush about cleaning up and putting stuff where it actually belongs rather than all over the lounge
Even swept my couch of all the little bits and pieces and gave Darren the paperwork in a bag to put into the office/sewing/junk/craft room which once i declutter it the *craft baskets behind my chair and all around the fire place and kitchen table can move into the correct room rather than between the living room and dining room
Posted on http://www.getorganizedwizard.com/blog/2011/04/30-day-organize-athon-day-1-declutter-your-living-area/
to say that i had completed my first task
And here are the pics to prove it
Note now the WII remotes are actually back in their holders and sitting nice and neatly on the stereo where they actually belong rather than anywhere in the house All Jalans excess belongings are now back in her room where they actually live normally
The floor is even swept as well
Well out to the dining room anyway as the rest of the house now needs sweeping
The excess stuff is also now off my DVD cabinets as well and only my photos are up there like it should be
As you have probably gathered i love my photos which is why I am not happy about the quality of the ones on this blog tonight
Probably should have waited to do the task in the morning like a normal person but i really dont like mornings and never really want to do anything with them
So officially this being morning for the US works well for me as i can do my decluttering and cleaning at night when i am more alive and it will be nice and clean to wake up to which may actually help me to minimise my depression looking at the mess each day when i get up
Hubbys quite surprised at this though as i usually just facebook most nights lol
Oh and guess what he got up and fixed the broken curtain hooks for me woooohoooo
Well thats me for today Hope everyone had a good April Fools day
See you tomorrow night after i get and finish my next challenge
Luv Deb
