Hi
2 weeks down 2 weeks to go hmmm someone got that a bit wrong theres thirty days not 28 lol
Still sick and feeling like i wanted to die
Played a few games did very little else
Todays task was
Organize Your Paperwork
Once again a easy one as on the clear your message/communication centre day it was all done then
Now we can see where to put the paperwork as we get it it is staying much neater at the moment
As for organising the paperwork in the file cabinet well that is a month long job
but at least it is out of sight and looking neat from the outside
Hasta Manyana Baby

★ 30-Day Organize-athon | Day 13
Hey guess what
It's the one and only me again
Yep nearly caught up and back to speed
Todays mammoth 5 minute task was
Organize Your Pots, Pans and Cookware
Once again for us a easy one thank goodness as I once again had my head in a bucket sitting on the throne Yep crook again for some reason
Doctors appointment made for Thursday
to see what is wrong
These items are all stored in one cupboard under the microwave so if they are not neat and tidy then they all fall out and i get cranky so it was a simple task to just neaten them up and restack them the way i like
Who knew housework could be so easy
Just a short one tonight as I was too sick to care about much else

Hiya
I'm back again yep lots of catching up to do tonight while i have a chance
Todays task is
Declutter Your Car’s Glove Box
What a easy one tonight One that i dont even really have to do as i do this on a regular basis due to having a couple of mice that believe they should live in our car glovebox and eat anything that is in there including paperwork
Every so often we set traps for them and they go away for a while but we have noticed they are back again
Whenever i am in the car i open the glovebox and take out everything that is not necessary in there and either file or dump it
As for the rest of the car well that is way over due and will hopefully be a project in the next week before we go to hospital so that we can fit the never ending supply that we need in Brisbane for 2 weeks
I get to spend the week in Brisbane and then MOTH comes down to do the weekend while i have a break and a decent sleep unless i go insane in the meantime
Most of Tuesday has been spent catching up on what we didnt do Sunday and Monday and making all the phone calls that we had to do including to our bank who had decided to take double out for each bill They said it was a glitch in the system and all the times we used our Visa Debit card it held the money and then when the merchant did their banking it is supposed to send a code that lets them know the money has been paid Well the code didnt work so it charged us double on each one Due to the amount we thought we must have been charged $475 for Jalans happy meal rather than $4.75
Thankfully it was fixed up easier and we had money in our account again
Grrrr dumb banks
See ya tomoz

Howdy once again and welcome back
Well at this stage of this day we are still in Brisbane
We have packed up our room at Ronald McDonald house and have checked out and headed over to the Mater Hospital for Jalans appointment at 8:30am with Jalan panicking the whole way saying we are going to be late and trying to get everyone she met to guess where we slept Yep she loves Ronald Mcdonald House
When we get to clinic we let them know we are there and are taken to a room right at the back to wait for our doctors As usual it is pretty bedlam lol
Jalan is taken of for lung function and we sit and wait while different specialists pop their heads in to see if she is there
the social worker drops in to catch up and see how we are travelling and has a chat Then Jalan comes back along with the Occupational therapist and we have a chat about how she is going with physio and everything
Next a doctor we havent met before comes in and introduces himself and asks up a pile of questions then reads his notes and reiterates back to us what we have said to make sure he is clear on it all We are quite impressed with this as half of them dont really listen then seem to make stuff up that we havent said
He then does a thorough check up of Jalan and says slight clubbing on her fingers He then listens to her chest and hears some crackles so off we go to xray to see what is happening
After xray we go back to the room waving to Tina as she had just arrived with her girls for clinic
The dietician comes in and checks out how Jalan is going and gives her student a run down on Jalan as she is nicely pregnant so I dont think she will be in for much longer for a while
The physios come in and do a cough swab Amazingly enough Jalan cooperates nicely for a change and we dont have to restrain her Wooohoooo
Doctor comes in and say that she will have to go in for a admission but it is not urgent and will organise it with our CF nurse
Ruth comes down and says we wont put her in today as there are already too many CFers and other patients in the hospital They look at next week and realise that easter is in the middle of it so therefore Jalan will miss out on a lot of the extra treatments they like to do as they will only have skeleton staff and even though we are quite happy to do some of the physio while she is in they decide not to admit her til the following week which is probably better as she would miss out on the gym sessions and the OT sessions as well
She goes in on the 28th April so will miss out on 2 weeks of school
Due to there being 2 confirmed cases of Swine Flu at her school on Friday the 8th April the doctors advise us not to send her to school for the rest of the term just to be safe
Her nurse comes back in and gives her her flu injection and being brave she just says ouch and then laughs at her brother
After clinic Jalan and Rowan head down to Starlight room while i finish up with the paperwork and stuff
Go down to starlight room and Darren stays with Jalan while I head up and visit another CF mum and her daughter for a while It is good to catch up with them and to know that her daughter is being released on the Wednesday after 3 and a half weeks in hospital
While there i meet another CF mum and her daughter who i have spoken to on facebook but had never met before
They head out for coffee and i head of to get Darren and Jalan and we head to the car
As we get to the elevator i meet Tina and her daughter again so Darren and Jalan go to Macdonalds for lunch and Rowan and I join Tina and Jessika at Subway for lunch
We sit and have a good chat then it is time for her to go pick her other daughter Isabella up and Darren picks me and Rowan up and we head of home
Stop at my dads on the way home for a visit and a cuppa then head home to Toowoomba
After settling in i log on my computer and todays task is
Organize Your Shoes
Well due to the fact we had done part of the Organise your laundry this task was pretty easy as the shoes are in the laundry too so it all is becoming one huge task
Neaten up the shoes quickly and then settle down to relax and catch up on my facebook games
Head of to bed and drift of to dreamland

Hi
Todays task was
Organize Your Garage
This was a easy one for us as we dont have a garage We only have a carport with the cars and trailer under it
It was the best one for today as we had headed down to Brisbane to stay at Ronald Mcdonald house as our daughter had Cystic Fibrosis clinic on Monday morning
We arranged to meet up with some friends at South Bank for dinner
We checked into Ronald Mcdonald House and let Jalan play on the playground for a hour She made lots of new friends and we got to relax and talk to some of the other parents there for a while
Headed down to Southbank to meet our friends and had a lovely time with them
My friends daughter is due to have a baby in two weeks so it was good seeing her nice and rounded
After dinner we sat and had a Cold Rock Icecream you know the ones where you need a bank loan to be able to afford to pay for them Absolutely beautiful ice cream though
After that we had a walk then went back up to Ronald Mcdonald house and Jalan again got to play with her little friends for a while
I sat and talked to another parent that was there and got to meet the most beautiful young lady
She had downs syndrome and although i have seen and smiled at a lot of these children and adults i had never before sat down and had a conversation
This little one was so enthusiastic and so high on loving life She told me all about her life and what everyone was doing
Admittedly there were times when i could not understand a word of what she was saying but thankfully neither could her dad so it wasn't just me
She has really enriched my life just by meeting her
Read my challenge for the day after i headed to our room and burst out laughing waking Darren up wondering why i was laughing
What a perfect challenge for a night when we are away
Thank you

Hi
Well todays task was
Organise your Laundry
This one was a bit harder as our laundry is also our entry way to the house so needless to say there is a lot more than just a laundry in here
It is the dump point for everything on the way in and out of the house
We did a quick tidy in there but this is one task that really needs a whole day not 5 minutes
Our laundry needs to be rearranged to make it more practical and useable
In saying this it is a easy room to use just more that it collects way too much stuff and we are forever trying to work out a better system for it
One of the other ladies doing this challenge posted a picture of her laundry and we fell in love with it and are going to redo our laundry the same way
The only difference will be is this will be at the other end of the laundry to hers
as our laundry does not have this corner where hers does Ours is on the same wall as the washing machine leading into the house
Love how open and organised everything is where as with ours it is all just a big mess lol

Hi
Ok I have been a bit slack updating lately so in the next few days i will probably have a lot of blogs all on the same date but relating to the day they occurred on
The first week went really well with all the tasks picture taking and everything
Starting this week was a new story
The challenges were fine it was just me that wasnt organised enough
Day 8 started with a new challenge of
Organize Your Linen Closet
Well this was a bit of a moot point as we dont have a official linen closet
I was given a simple tip for the linen closet
Fold the sheet set up and put it into the corresponding pillow case and either place it in a underbed storage box along with all the other linen for that bed or in the wardrobe for that room This way whenever you need a sheet change it is all there right next to you and you dont have to go searching through the closet
Works fantastic especially if you have young children that wet the bed or are sick at night You can whip out the new set of sheets change the bed and put the child back to bed with no fuss and minimum disturbance for everyone
If you have a guest bed then all the linen they need is right with the bed as well
Saves wasting space in your cupboards
As for the towels well they are all in the towel stand in the bathroom We each have a colour and have 2-3 towels each which are all rolled after they are washed and put back where they belong The top shelf is Darrens and mine The middle shelf is the kids and the third shelf is guest towels and the bottom shelf is bath and toilet mats
Jalan has not got a specific colour yet but hers is all the childrens patterns
I have 4 table cloths and 1 set of placemats that are in the hall cupboard The cupboard itself is for games and other things
So all in all a pretty easy task
