Purge Progress.

In the last 24 hours, I have made MAJOR strides in attacking my list that I posted yesterday. The blue stuff is GONE. The purple stuff has a home and just needs to get there.

  1. 6 sippy cups have a home and will be delivered on Sunday.
  2. 3 mugs actually turned into 4 and have been dropped off at Goodwill this morning.
  3. margarita glasses: Goodwill
  4. plastic margarita glasses and pitcher: Goodwill
  5. million baby spoons: some are going with the sippy cups, the rest went to Goodwill
  6. 6 plastic cups: Goodwill
  7. watermelon placemats: Goodwill
  8. pacifier keeper: w/ the cups and spoons
  9. citrus zester: Goodwill
  10. orange peeler: Goodwill
  11. tea ball: Goodwill
  12. Spaghetti Factory glass: Goodwill
  13. still need to connect w/ puzzle person
  14. cloth diapers: have a drop off person, just need to set up a time
  15. couch still here – need a non-rainy day
  16. train table: still need to clean up and photograph this for friend
  17. Pack N Play: got 2 bites on this this morning from craigslist. Hopefully meeting someone tomorrow morning. Just waiting for confirmation.
  18. Stroller/Travel system: Stroller may have a home w/ sippy cups, et. al… waiting for confirmation. Then will relist car seat on Craigslist solo.
  19. Crib: still no idea.
  20. crates of clothing blanks: no idea
  21. tie-dye inventory: nothing to report
  22. powdered dyes: nothing to report
  23. puppet theatre: GONE to a friend who picked it up this morning.
  24. Star Stacker: need to put in a bag to take to church
  25. scrapbooking supplies: my SIL might want a few things, need to go through
  26. homeschool/preschool supplies: sent an email to layla’s teacher to see if she’s interested in a few things – waiting to hear back.
  27. box of stuff to Goodwill: Goodwill
  28. bag in garage: Goodwill
  29. diaper bag: Goodwill
  30. spice rack: forgot to pack it in the car. oops.
  31. frame backpack: Goodwill
  32. ring sling: SIL taking – will mail soon
  33. bibs: forgot to pack – will take them with next trip to Goodwill
  34. Crib bedding: Goodwill
  35. screen door: haven’t seen the people next door in a few days.
  36. wading pool: nothing yet, but garbage day is tomorrow, so I better get on it.
  37. toy trucks: not yet.
  38. media cabinet: not yet.

I also took to Goodwill:

  1. 3 lunchboxes
  2. set of Christmas pancake molds (sorry Trudy, they always stuck.)
  3. Mariner Moose backpack
  4. CM album tote I don’t use anymore

A friend has also claimed:

  1. Chewbacca baby Halloween costume

So, needless to say, I am VERY excited. All morning long, I had this giddy feeling of anticipation about dropping the stuff off at Goodwill. It was almost like it was Christmas or something! The guy at the Goodwill drop-off place thanked me for my stuff, and I felt like throwing my arms around him and saying, “NO. Thank YOU!!!” I resisted.

So, Onward and OUTward… Hopefully I’ll have more to report tomorrow!

instafriday

it’s friday again!!! and that means: layla, still sick, but enjoying some brady bunch episodes in the recliner, with a cat, and a… tent? no idea. this warms my heart! checking out our family history via project life… circa 2007. LOVE! what I spent my sunday evening tackling: done! thank goodness. micah’s “hooked”! hahaha! a quick visit to the library. dinner: meatloaf, green beans, and very pretty roasted potatoes. I got this awesome little bundle at the store that had yukon golds, red, and purple potatoes. purple potatoes are SO fun! I tossed them with some olive oil, salt and pepper, thyme, oregano, a little rosemary, and a bunch of garlic! so yummy. the meatloaf was good, too! operation: pick out cheesy, cheapo valentines. yes, I live in yuppy-ville. if you call 1-888-dog-waste, you can PAY someone to scoop your dog poop for you.I wonder if shane knows about this… empty peanut butter jar = very happy dog. yes, that’s my 5 year old, excitedly tromping in to preschool with...

2017–week 14

sunday: i had some professional development classes to take for work, so i was chained to the computer for a good chunk of the day. this was my companion as i worked. monday: very odd day. there was a threat of violence at the high school, so pretty much most of the student body stayed home. shane was among those lobbying for a day at home, so to ensure it wasn’t just a day of fun and leisure, i made him a lengthy to-do list to keep him occupied. i think it worked out very well. ;) also monday: when i got home from work, i took bonez on the longest walk ever, because it was such a nice day. this is some of the awesome spring color we saw on our walk. wednesday: i was making white chicken chili for soup supper at church, and was tossing my cans into this bag for recycling. i seem to have attracted the local wildlife. saturday: school’s out for spring break, which means it’s time for my traditional school break to-do list. i make one for every break, and usually don’t get that much o...

meal plan monday

monday: chicken caesar salads; bread tuesday: bruschetta chicken ; salad wednesday: french dips; chips; carrot sticks thursday: hamburger helper; green beans friday: pizza and assorted other junk/health foods (for layla’s birthday party) saturday: this is layla’s birthday, and she mentioned wanting ribs, but since sunday is shane’s birthday, and I’m pretty sure he’s going to say ribs as well, we will have to figure out which one gets the ribs on their birthday… we may go out the other day, depending on what the birthday people decide. sunday: whatever we don’t do on saturday. it’s still in the 80’s and 90’s this week, so I’m trying to avoid stuff that requires the oven to be one for an hour in the evenings, and nobody wants to eat soup when it’s hot out (well, I would, but nobody else).
