School Room, Check!

I don't guess I really should call it a school room. We don't do school in it, but it holds our books, and the computer, and all the school supplies, so it's called the school room. It has taken most of the day, but thanks to Jennie's playlist I am done. I turned it up and wasted an unbelievable amount of time singing and dancing to Suspicious Minds. Did you know that when I am alone in the house I sound EXACTLY like Elvis' backup singers on that song? It's true.

No pictures, but I will give you a breakdown on some of the things I found while sorting and purging.

• 3 dirty gross socks
• James' pj bottoms
• $1.53
• a book that I could not find so I had ordered another one
• approximately 15 readers that my children were supposed to be reading throughout the school year ~ unless they were reading under the computer desk in the far corner, I don't think any of them were finished
• four 4th of July books that I should have read to my kids to prepare them for the 4th of July ~ maybe tomorrow?
• a big handful of cat food ~ I'm almost sure James decided that under Matt's school box was the best place to store the cat food
• 1, 657 paper clips
• 3, 890 ponytail holders

But, now I have all the kid's separate books in nifty rubbermaid containers and if Mark asks me where a pencil that is actually sharpened is I will be able to direct him to the pencil holder. I can say, "the pencil holder is on the computer desk", and it will be there. Until approximately 8:32 am tomorrow. Then all bets are off.

Tonight is garden work night and Abbie is already telling me her tummy is hurting. She's starting a little early today on the excuses. I have her laying on the couch so she can rest up for the hoeing ahead. I know, I know, mean momma...
