Tackle It Tuesday

Tackle It Tuesday Meme
Before... (I'm embarrassed to write that this clean laundry has been in this corner of my bedroom waiting to be folded for 3 weeks or so. That red laundry hamper is supposed to be in Kyle's room. That white box beside it is what my used Math U See curriculum came in back in MAY. So, yes, it has probably been in that exact location since then. That basket in the corner is where my socks go that don't have mates, which was OVERFLOWING because I very rarely take the time to match them, especially since it is sandal season!)

After...
I promise that I didn't just move the baskets and take another picture. This picture was taken one hour and four minutes after the previous picture! I actually folded, hung, and PUT AWAY all that laundry. I even MATCHED socks!! I also filled one bag with clothes to be given away, took the white box to my recycling pile in the garage, and asked Kyle to return his hamper to his room. TA-DA!!!! *smile* I'm sure Mike is ecstatic, also! I may even vacuum this spot tomorrow!

ok, you've motivated me too. I have clean laundry in my closet (but not hung up) and a bag of laundry on my bed (queen size beds rock...you can use them as bed AND storage..lol) but I need to feel organized or my life seems out of control too, silly i know. so it will be "work it wednesday" for me. ;)

Wanna come down here and take care of piles in my house? :) You don't even have to do laundry, since my wonderful mom and mom-in-law have been doing it since we came home from the hospital!
