Early this year, when I became a stay at home mom, I made a small list of things I wanted to accomplish before summer ended. I am Happy to report that I have nearly done all on my list. Happy day!!
1. Build a sand pile (Done)
2. Potty train Lilly (Done)
3. Clean out the Garage (Done)
4. Have a yard sell (change in plans donated stuff instead)
5. Go to the zoo (Done)
6. Build a Bowflex
7. Clean the house (on going)
8. Paint the salon
9. Shampoo the carpet
10. Lose 40 pounds
11. POTTY TRAIN LILLY! (done)
Yes you read that right, I cleaned out the garage. For those of you who know me, the garage has been a very sore, dirt, messy spot in my life. Its like I couldn't move on with the rest of the summer until that garage was clean. I had finally had enough of not parking in the garage. I haven't parked in there for nearly 2 years. TWO YEARS!!! We had crap wall to wall. It was a mess. So last week I thought, there are people that could really use this stuff. I backed up the truck and garbage cans and just started throwing stuff away.
And, Walla....A garage that I can at least park a car into. Its not totally perfect. I would really like to get some shelves and what not...Notice the Christmas stuff in the corner..that belongs to a friend of mine so that really isn't suppose to be there.
We filled up the back of the truck with boxes and things we thought DI would like.
All 3 Garbage cans are full of crap.
And there she is...the Van tucked nicely in her home.
Welcome home old friend.
I couldn't be more happy.
We were very hot and tired after. But I feel so much better. That monkey is off my back.

Now on to the bowflex.
**gulp**
