A couple days...

It has been a couple days.
Lately I've been feeling that odd feeling when you're in your last trimester.
The feeling where you can't sleep, eat properly because you get full quickly and feel bloated and stretched out. Also the feeling that the baby is going to jump out of your belly button like in a scene from an Alien movie.
This kid is a jumper. But he's just like his brother. He was like that too.
These boys... They'll probably be the death of me. But I have a great love for them.
A lot has happened the last couple days. I've been trying to organize as much as possible. And clean as much as possible.
It's a bit difficult when there's two families living under one roof.
I really want out though. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents. I just can't live with them.
It sounds funny, but it's the honest truth.
Since I quit my job, my son has started to come to me again. He cries to me. He complains to me. I love it.
He's getting so big! He's learning so much! He's starting to copy us too <3
I can't wait until he meets his brother.
I'm sure they'll get a long. He has shown us with other babies. I think he sort of gets it. Hopefully we will get to potty train him soon! He's showing signs that he might be getting ready. But I'm not sure he's quite there yet.
Well, the wheels have been turning in my life. And looks like they're going in the right direction. I hope they are for you as well.
Much love,
Abbii

New Year’s Organizing Revolution

So late last week I decided to join an Organizing Revolution link party.

 

I found this on a blog I follow Clean Mama.

She is one of the hostess.  There are of course several more. On the link you will be able to see the list she put.

It's a great way to start out the year by organizing. It's a contest. There is a calendar which explains what section of the room one must organize, in what week. Also when the voting begins!

Yeah pretty neat.
Since I'm an amateur at this, I waited until the last day to post about it and link my blog to the link party. Voting starts tomorrow, Friday the 4th and ends on Sunday the 6th.
This week was Office/Desk area. And since I'm residing with my mother at this moment, MY desk area is the dinning room table that no one uses, but the actual desk (office) with the computer is right next to it.
Here are some pictures of how it looked like when I started.

 My laptop is at the back there!

 The family computer.

 The dinning room table no one "uses." A bit trashy but also had our personals.

 The printer and storage area.

 A panorama of the area that NEEDED organizing and some cleaning.

 

Ok so now here are some pictures of the after math of me not only cleaning but also organizing. It took me around an hour, hour and a half. Remember I have a toddler and I'm also 30 weeks pregnant. So I was slowed down quite a bit.

 The computer!

 The printer/storage area. (My mom wanted to keep the baskets there, but I organized the paper work and ended putting pictures on the left basket and coupons and notebooks on the right basket.)

 Organized my mother's binder for her church things and also some notebooks and the printer paper.

My son's medical records and appointments and shot records.

 

Organized my little "craft" section. There was another box with other things.

 The dinning room table that no one uses looks USABLE!

And last but not least, the panorama of the area, the organized and clean area :)

 

So now part of the house I currently live in is nicely organized, and clean. Mail was separated (the table had lots of mail) and sorted out and handed to the correct people. Trash was thrown. Whatever looked like it wasn't important was most likely trash. And the areas were dusted to give it that nice little sparkle.

 

It feels good to have a nice area with space now. Next week, the kitchen!



The New Year

The New Year is nearing up. And that means that my resolution is about to begin. It actually begins tomorrow but it's all the same. It's a Sunday start.

My head's been racing with ideas but it's all to similar to other resolutions that I've made in the past and don't actually commit to them...
I'm hoping that my motivation turns into a habit and I stick to it.

What I'm starting this January:

Got it from Clean Mama. Which is an awesome website with helpful ideas and tips.

Click on the link so you can download it, it's free. Read up on some things too because they will help with things that you probably did not think of.

I'll leave you with that, and I'm off to clean a mess I see that I can't avoid ;P

New to blogging.

Yeah, I'm new at the blogging. But here goes nothing!

Why did I start a blog? Because I've recently became a house mom... again. I got married a couple months back. And I'm also expecting our second. I'm 4 years younger than my husband. And He just turned 27, my turn next month. I was a house mom when my son was born because I was forced to, I couldn't find a job! But I loved spending that time with him. This time around, I quit my job. Yep. I was fortunate enough to have a job but it all got to me. The stress, the "I miss my son," and the "I want to spend time with him before the baby comes," the fact that I was a temp in need of some better health insurance and I kept getting promised that I would get the permanent position (temp to perm). Never happened. Got tired of waiting and at one point was even told that "You're position will no longer be available when you get back from maternity leave." Thanks. So going back to the question, why a blog? Because I'm not a house mom again, I'm a house wife, and a mother of two (soon). I need to get off that under the age of 21 lifestyle where everyone did everything for me,
stop being lazy and get on my stuff.
I need to be ORGANIZED, CLEAN, and I need to start COOKING again. I need to be a wife. I spend lots of time with my son and now I need to take a slight right to make a change in my life for the better.
And I shall be writing about it.
Let's do this homies!
