Its the Simple Things....

I have been waiting for this day for years!  Years I say!  Why?  Because, today is the day Larry is doing something I have been waiting for...Building my Cubbies!!!!  It may sound ridiculous, but I can't take the clutter anymore!   This is Larry's sketch!  This is what has me so excited...this is like Christmas to me...Why?

Because, we live in a small little house that used to be a log home.  There are 6 of us in a 3 bedroom house.  I have a problem with organization.  I have tried, and I stink at it :)  But, I have decided that I am going to get it together and organize my life.  I started painting, with the help of my amazing friend, Tawni, We painted the "log" room (where the cubbies will reside) the entryway and my bathroom...My cubbies will contain 6 lockers with a spot for a wicker basket on top.  The bottom will be for shoes...Then I am going to stain it and polyurethane them to a high shine gloss!  This is a dream come true!


See, it s the small things in life that make it so much better.  Its the little things that will make my life easier that has me so excited.  Larry thinks I'm crazy for being so wrapped up in these cubbies.  But I can't take the mittens, boots, coats, backpacks, scarves, and snow pants thrown in the "log" room.  I have put hooks up and they don't get used.  I have put a huge wicker basket for mittens, hats, and scarves in there...guess what?  That does not get used.  I am fed up with cutter, laziness and messes!  Thus, the shear joy and excitement for my cubbies!

Everyday after school, the boys come ripping into the house and throw their things where ever they may land.  Not anymore!  As soon as the cubbies are done...new rules, new habits, a new way of life!  Yes, this sketch is going to change my life... I can hardly wait!

Excited in Pickford,

Shelby :)
