I Haven't Made My Bed in Months!

And you know what? I didn't even miss it! (Yes, I need those steps to get up there!)

Being laid up turned out to be a good thing for me. First off, this surgery has been life changing! I know that's a strong statement---but it's so true. I should have done it long ago. In fact, I'm going to do the other foot in September and get it over with---especially since now I know what to expect. After the first month, it was a piece of cake.

Once I started to feel better, the fact that my house seemed out-of-control started to get to me. Now don't get me wrong---Butch is a "neat" type of a guy. But he doesn't stand a chance against my OCD tendencies! He took great care of me and handled everything household.

But, it feels good to start getting on top of things again. I have been a cleaning fool. Last week I cleaned out all of my linen closets---mainly because I couldn't figure out where all the sheets have gone. They must be buried in the laundry room. I'll have to tackle that this week.

I have spent hours upon hours in my scrapbook room doing a major clean out.

 All of this is on the way out. I was ruthless. If I haven't used it in 5 years---it's gone.

Luckily, I've found a place here that takes donations so I can at least get the tax write-off. Plus, just giving scrapbook and art supplies to Good Will never seemed like a good idea. This way, it goes where people actually want it.

These are all that remain of my old photos. I scrapbooked a lot this week too. I'm using the old family pictures to scrapbook for the girls. Most of the scrapbooking I do for myself is the here and now and the stories I want to remember. Still, the girls will be happy to have pages from their childhood, family gatherings and trips.

This is the stack I did this week. I'll share a few of them in another post.

I have such a love/hate relationship with prednisone. Right now, I'm lovin' it! So many extra hours.

Next up---the closet in my scrapbook room! It really needs a good clean out.

In the meantime, I think I'll start making my bed again!

I like it much better this way!!
