Overwhelming house!


My house is overwhelming me. The living room is really crowded, we really want to move around the furniture and change things around but we have had no time! We bought bookshelves from Target and all of Matt's books don't fit on them. Plus, I wanted to use them for decor! The front room is LOADED with crap! I mean, it's embarrassing.
Our kitchen has a very large green floor. It gets dirty so quickly and I hate dirty floors. I hate when things stick on my feet, or it is sticky. I try and sweep the floor every couple of days (though it should be daily). Here's the problem, sweeping is my least favorite chore. I don't know why, I just hate it. I get really impatient and just kind of give up. Well, tonight I swept and mopped the floor. I guess the floor feels different but it still looks dirty green. Can you tell the difference?
I know I seem to be complaining, I am extremely grateful for our house and I love having a place to call home. I am just overwhelmed. You know that feeling, when you can't seem to catch up? That's how I am feeling. Plus, I haven't gone to the gym in months and I never drink enough water...but that's another story.

I know the feeling. My home office has overwhelmed me and I'm in the process of reorganizing and throwing away files that I don't need anymore. YEAR of files from events now long gone.
The book shelves look great. The chest between them. Is that the chest that Grampy needs to fix? Guess we should do that. I think it has storage??
Matt can prioritize the books for the shelves and share the space for some decor, or you could get woven baskets and use for books and stagger them. That always looks nice. What color theme are you using?
So, from the way the knives look, I guess Matt won't be applying for a job at Bennihana!!!! LOL...
Email me under separate email with your street (address) and the turn off I make. Next week if I'm out and about, I'll stop by. What time do you usually get home?
Love, grammy xo

Looking at the floor again, it's close. Before and after. Hmmmm. Do I get a prize if I guess right??!!
As far as my blog. I'm still trying to figure that out. Try:sunriver@inreach.com
Blogging For Seniors is header. I've tried so many things now, I'm not even sure how I get into my own blog except that when I get to yours I can go to the dashboard and mine comes up.
I've spent way too much time on this today. Have to get back to ordering for the store.
Love, grammy
