Am I ready?  This Saturday my daughter Mikaila will be officially a teenager. Where has the time gone? She wants a backyard barbecue and sleepover.  This was her in preschool. Birthday photos to come! 

The Agony of Organization

Why is it when we decide to move paper towel holder or swept under the stove, the whole kitchen ends up getting rearranged?  Yesterday morning when I got up at 4am, I had this idea to move the microwave.  Well, that led into moving everything on the counters around, as well as cleaning under and on the sides of the stove.   Having a new view of the kitchen then led into pulling out all plates, bowls, shelved small appliances, and tupperware onto the table for a cabinet revamp.  After over 4 hours, my kitchen overhaul was complete.  The good news is my kitchen is much more efficient.  The bad news is that by the time those 4 hours were over, my already ailing back was unmovable.  Today it is even worse.  Next time I decide to do a little change-up, someone please remind me of this day! ~sigh~
