Check it Off

I have a dry erase board right by our side door. I’ve started writing the things that I need to get done under the To Do category. I feel like if I have the list where I can see it, I will get it done. So today was basically just checking off the chores that needed to get done. Boring, I know, but much needed.

I was so tired of playing Jenga every time I opened the pantry, a.k.a. two cabinets, If you have an actual real pantry go give it a hug right now because having to use two precious kitchen cabinets is the pits. But when your kitchen is on the small side, you just have to make due with what you have.

I honestly don’t know how it gets this bad. I think we all get a bit lazy and end up just stuffing items back in.

Ok, that’s a little better. My home will never be pinterest ready, but that’s ok.

It’s pretty bad. I was just waiting for a can avalanche.

At least I can find everything now.

This one wasn’t too bad, but I realized that I keep replacing spices that I already had in my restock area. I also threw away anything that was expired or that we just didn’t use anymore.

Next I started on our shared closet. The weather has been getting warmer so I knew it was time to switch out my winter clothes for spring ones. I really wanted to quit halfway through. I share a very small closet with my husband so every square inch of it is used.

I guess it has to get bad before it can get better. Hey, at least there is cutie Dean Winchester on the screen. I love Supernatural and it helped me get through this mess.

Purses get hung on hooks to save space.

I have plastic drawers to the left that holds my shorts and ball caps. The baskets on top hold my jeans and pants. I still need to pare everything down, but first I want to see what I wear and if I don’t wear it, out it will go.

All bagged up ready to get boxed up and stored in the shed which is on my clean out list tomorrow. That’s going to be a project.

And just because, here is our stoner cat Monkey that is always high on catnip.
