Delilah decided we needed to be up at 6am AGAIN this morning. I finally relented at 6:30am after unsuccessfully trying to get her to play quietly in her crib with a million toys. At that point I looked around my room and decided to rearrange it. Well, it started with me thinking "Kale's dresser will fit in our closet if I move things around. That will free up floor space and it's not like he's here to use it." So I moved it, it fit like a glove. Then I had to vacuum under that thing, it was filthy under there. Then I thought maybe Delilah would sleep better if the crib weren't under the air conditioning vent. To do that I had to take apart my bed (queen size), move my dresser into the hallway, move my night stand into the hallway, and then move the crib, after I vacuumed of course. Then I moved my dresser back in and put my bed together. Basically my room is now arranged in a mirror image of the way it used to be, just on the opposite wall. Now my room is nice and clean. I was surprised there wasn't much junk under my bed, of course I cleaned under there just after Delilah was born.
I do this sort of thing often, not as often as I used to but now I have heavier, nicer furniture that is hard to move by myself. Kale never knew what he would come home to after work. I did hurt my back on my curtain tie back, it's metal and I fell back into it when I was trying to get my mattress back on the bed.
Now I am relaxing. I just gave Delilah and Sophia baths and put Delilah down for her nap. Soon I am going to take a shower. My mom emailed me this morning to see if I wanted to go with her to Hobby Lobby after she gets off work. Of course I will go, anything to get out of this house for a little while. I really need to work on my growing pile of laundry or maybe I just need to invite Rosy over ;) My aunt Patience wants to take the 3 big girls swimming today, but it looks like rain so I am not sure it will happen. I will have their stuff ready just in case though. I always love the chance to be rid of some of my children :P

:) a chance to be rid of some children. what a pleasant thought. and really how does that feel??
i NEVER have anyone offering to take my children any where or even just take them for a little while so I have a break. :(
Okay, i'm done with the pitty party. sorry.
6??? AM??? what the hell??? that child needs her own room so she can get up whenever she wants to and you can still sleep in some. :P
i have my girls dressers in their closet... partially to make their room bigger, and mainly b/c they wouldn't stop going in them and taking EVERY. SINGLE. THING. OUT!!! ugh!!
It is hilarious that you just posted about re-arranging your room and stuff... b/c i just sat down at the computer and just said the to kids that maybe we should move Trevor to the girls room and them into his room, but i'm not sure yet if it will really work out or not. i'm thinking not. :( oh well... that is the only way i can really clean good... i mean I do a good job, but then i do an excellent job... clean walls, under everything and all that... I love to move things around... keeps everything fresh and newish. :)
well speaking of all this cleaning and moving... I'm off... I'm determined to move something and try to clean this house... this house that is a pig pen and just keeps getting more ane more cluttered by the minute... literally.
well anyway... have a great day!!
if you get a break... from the girls... enjoy every. single. second of it... and please think of me. :)
have fun at hobby lobby. think of me then too... we dont' have a hobby lobby around here.
pretty much just think of me any time you are doing anything... except for getting up at 6 AM!! lol
xoxoxoxo
Jenn, I do enjoy being rid of some of my children every once and awhile. That's what I miss most about my husband being gone, he used to stay at home with them on the weekend if I wanted to go out alone.
Delilah does need her own room, but I don't plan on moving her into her own room until we move. I have a room empty of children, but all their crap is in it (playroom). When we move into the bigger house we will have a basement and that's where the playroom with be. Delilah and Sophia will have their own rooms because they wake the other two up in the middle of the night, keep them up at night, or wake them up to early. It has worked well since I put Lilly and Aidan in a room together a few months ago. Before I Sophia and Aidan together and Sophia woke Aidan up all the time.
I wish my family members would take my kids somewhere.
I used to rearrange my furniture all the time too. Now I make Brad do it. :P
Marie, I am lucky they are willing to take my kids and most of the time I don't even ask them to. But it didn't happen today, it looked like rain. But tomorrow they will go.
I did it by myself for years, until I was pregnant with Sophia. I tried to move something and hurt myself, after that I was too scared to do it anymore while I was pregnant. Which is strange because I moved a washer and dryer while I was pregnant with Lilly. Since we have bought a lot of heavey furniture since we have moved here I had been making Kale move things with my bro's help, but since he's gone I am on my own. I could always beg Jason and Green to do it, but then I would have to wait for them. I am not that patient.
HA! I too jump at the chance to let Emma spend some time with her grandparents. :-)
And I am in the process of re-arranging our bedroom. After a year it needs to be changed.
