This is getting silly

Ok….we have a smallish town house.    Doesn’t even have a basement.   Toys and books and ‘stuff’ explode EVERYWHERE.  It is a daily battle to control the avalanche of stuff.

And now we have added MORE chaos.

In our living room sits my deceased  Mother in Law’s giant plasma tv.  My BIL has one already and we didn’t.  So it was decided that for safety and practicality that we should take it.  It feels rather big and the children are hypnotized by the new god.

Her ancient cat has also taken up residence here.  In our bedroom to be exact.  So in the room that I was planning on clearing OUT of stuff to fit the BABY stuff, we now have  cat food and kitty litter and a really loud old Siamese cat taking up space.

I do hope that the cat does ok.  She is a lovely thing.  And according to the Vet, apart from being blind, is in great shape.  We just want her to be happy.  Callie and our cats have been ok with the whole thing.  The cats are NOT territorial at all.

So now I must continue my battle of controlling the clutter.  And figuring out where to put things.  We need a bigger house.    I crave space and storage and a kitchen that I can actually function in.    A dishwasher would be nice too.

I know we will get there eventually.   Crunchy Husband works his butt of worrying and earning as much dollars as he can from his writing.   And he puts up with me spending it in my mind as quickly as he earns it!

So today I am working on getting motivated and decluttering today as much as I can.   I suppose I should get all the kids out today too…it is nice and sunny.

Oh and for those following the saga.  Caity CLAIMED to have pooped in the toilet all by herself late last night.  However, evidence was lacking apart from the copious amount of toilet paper stuffed in the loo.    I told her to let me know next time so we can check out this wondrous event together.
