Preparing this house before July..

I mentioned that i was working on garage sale stuff today, I'm very happy with what i accomplished today! Still have the attic to go thru and see what i can get rid of and need to clean the garage but I'll wait on that till next week as it doesn't take much for it to get dirty/messy. I really didn't plan on doing a garage sale at all this year b/c i didn't want to deal with all the work(last year wasn't even worth my time or work) but with my money issue, i feel that it would be a good idea.. This year, i have a lot of nicer stuff than i have had in the past so I'm praying that will be a success. I cleaned the closet out here in what i call the "C" room.. C= Carson's future room, Computer room, Clutter room.. :) I am working on this room to as well as I'm reorganizing everything and finding places to put stuff or to put in the garage sale.. I have neat ideas for this room when we get it painted in here.. All the toys will be in here and have a cool bullentin board covered in fabric(whatever Carson will like at the moment) and put his art work on there.. Use that as decoration.. and get rid of the rain gutter bookshelf that we nailed up on the wall and get a bookshelf for all the books.. I told Alex that I want a bookshelf made by him for Mother's Day that we can pass down to the family.. I'm praying for that!! My once LONG to-do list is almost all scratched off.. thats NOT including the diapers, windows, and ceiling fans.. I will have to do that whenever i'm in the mood for that.. not going to let that stress me out more by writing it on my to-do list.. I also have a few "crafty" projects to work on before July.. That is.. Carson's baby book(scrapbooking), Carson's cross-stitching project, update Carson's picture album and do the wedding album.. I could do that as a "hobby" instead of looking at it as "work" to do.. Oh yeah, cant forget the diapers on top of that..I'm hoping Alex will do a few things around the house too as well before we have visitors in July.. Men's job stuff that is.. Theres already a list for that.. lol But today has been a good, productive day.. Didn't really feel overwhelmed, just during the times i was going thru stuff and carson would get his hands on it and drag it to the other room or start playing with whatever i was working on.. But I cant complain too much b/c overall he was being great today! He helped me some and would get distracted by the tv often.. Whatever makes him happy makes me happy.. (except for getting into the sink and play with water.. ) Pray for a productive Tuesday!!
