I can not believe I have been neglecting my duties as a blogger

So I have been a slacker. I will admit I get wrapped up in that stupid Facebook. I know I shouldn't but I do. So anywho. I have been put off work due to an injury. Calm down not a bad injury but one that keeps me from actually working 100%.
So I have decided I am going to do a few projects that I've so wanted to try.
First off I want to make my children quilts for Christmas. We will see how that goes.
Second, I have decided to go Green with laundry detergent. Can I say I just love love love my homemade laundry detergent. My clothes feel so much cleaner. I have not realized what a big difference it makes. My next project..................cleaning this house. UGH!
Anyone have any ideas for me to do so that I can get out of cleaning the house?????
Well the blog is going to be short....Levi wants Peanut Butter and JELLLLLLLLY as he says!

Hoarders has nothing on me.

So I decided that this weekend was going to be about organization. Yes, that is what I said! SAY IT WITH ME: OR-GAN-I-ZA-TION! See very good!
Well I had taken an extra day off so that the hubby & I could take a quick getaway but he failed miserably in letting me know that our friends had postponed.
UGH! I hate not being organized and thrown off. But I figured "Well it's high time I start getting this house in order" after all I am now couponing and need room.
This home is a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom with lots of nooks and crannies that we have all so well found.
I really do believe it's a race to see who can stash their crap there first and you can bet your bottom dollar that I will be the first to complain that something has been crammed somewhere cause after all........
that could have been my nook and cranny!
Well I decided to hit it hard in the kitchen.
OMG can you say "HOLY HOARDER!" Yep! I'm a hoarder. Not just any hoarder. One of those ones that keeps anything and everything.
Not only am I a hoarder but I'm a type of person that if I can't find it, then screw it I'll just run to the store and buy new.
Well guess what that means? Yep you guessed it: It means I end up with 15 boxes of Tea....yes they maybe different boxes but some of them are repeats. I don't drink tea every day, in fact I only drink it during the summer. Guess I will be drinking my tea more often.
That's not it.
Coffee mugs....REALLY? Who has 40 coffee mugs? Why would I need 40 coffee mugs? Not just coffee mugs but I guess I mean coffee cups.
Now that is just the beginning.....
The flour....the brown sugar.....the Grill Mates seasoning....the Worchestire Sauce....You guessed it...I bought it, shoved it into a cupboard, when I went to go get it and thought to myself "I know I bought a bottle of Worchestire Sauce. I know I did".
Conversation on any given day at our house with me and the hubby"
Honey! Can you run to the store for me?
Yes Dear! What do you need?
Worchestire Sauce
I thought we had a bottle?
I Can't find it!
Ok, let me get my shoes on.
So hubby runs to the store.....(very good man) and picks up some Worchestire Sauce. But then sees a bottle of Grill Mates that he loves so much and comes home.
Honey, I bought 2 bottles so we don't run out, oh and they had this new Grill Mate I wanted to try.
Ok thanks....
And WALLA.....that is how we end up with 4 bottles. Because we did this game probably 2 months earlier.
AND that is how we become HOARDERS!
Needless to say 10 hrs. of cleaning out cupboards, rearranging and putting extras of everything in my storage I do not need to buy: Mushrooms, Worchestire Sauce, BBQ Sauce, Grill Mates, Flour, Brown Sugar, Pudding, every envelope made for fajitas, ranch dressing, etc.....
Hoarders the show has nothing on this girl...
But guess what? My cupboards are GORGEOUS!
