A little over two weeks ago, this upstairs closet was my beloved dumping grounds.
Previous efforts to organize (see the storage bins? and shelving?) became futile as good intentions gave way to the clutter.
Ah, the clutter. Bane of my existence.
Lifeblood of closets everywhere.
But this little closet was about to become something much more important: a Laundry Room.
Hurdle One: How to convince the munchkins that being quiet while Mommy and Daddy remodeled the laundry room was a good idea?
Impossible.
We decided to divide and conquer on this one.
Dan and I decided to trade off watching kids and preparing the closet for its new duty.
Hurdle Two:
How to stay awake while watching the littlest munchkin, the never ending energy exerter.
Answer: Impossible.
Lock yourself and her in play yard. Rest if neccessary.
Hurdle Three:
How to convince older of munchkins that going to sleep is *way* more fun than assembling I*KEA cabinets?
Answer: Impossible. (Yes, there is a theme, isn't there?)
Second option to Hurdle Three:
Allow child to help with I*KEA assembly. Perhaps they'll realize how very boring assembly is.
Roll call:Cabinets assembled? Check.
Marriage? Check.
Children relatively sane and happy? Double check.
Laundry room project still slated to be finished in 2010? To be determined.
