Organizing

I am taking advantage of the weather outside being gross and I have started the dreaded organizing projects around the house. I backed up all our computer files on Monday. We found a sale at Costco on laptops and we bought two. One to replace mine and one for the kids to use. I was able to pull all the files off our very old laptop and off our desktop down in the basement. I removed the hard drives and we will take them to the electronic recycling drop off.
I cleaned out the linen/hallway closet upstairs. The closet aggravates me on a daily basis. It is out laundry hamper, linen storage, as well as, all our toiletry storage. I had a garbage can full of empty boxes and packages. Closet is done and looks great.
I tackled the garden window in the kitchen - another catch all space. I planted my herb garden. I cleaned out the china cabinet drawers. That took the longest. The drawers are where everything gets stuffed into. I found enough batteries to fill a ziploc bag - don't know if they are good or dead. I found a huge amount of un-sharpened pencils. Found all our zip drives and memory cards for our cameras. Found a new tablecloth for the table.
Did my grocery shopping on Monday. I volunteered on Tuesday morning. It worked out perfectly because Mrs. Breiler wasn't there and I was able to ask all the kids for their quotes for the teacher appreciation project I will be doing.
Mom and Dad came over for dinner. We had sweet potato/black bean/grilled pepper and onion tacos, broccoli and purple cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and fruit. I made a banana monkey bread for dessert. Mom and Dad played Guess Where with the kids and we watched a little bit of Little Rascals.
The kids got their report cards and they both did an awesome job...we are so proud of them.
