My Closet From Hell

So here's another little tidbit into the psyche of Gieselle/Gigi P. I freakin' hate cleaning my closet. Hate is not a strong enough word. If you give me the option... "go have a baby in a hospital or clean your closet"... I swear I will actually ponder which to do! I greatly admire organized people. I am not one. I have to work really... super hard to appear organized( to some extent).

Anyone who knows me knows I was the girl:

- always late to the bus stop because I could not get dressed in the am.
- was voted most likely to Lose something important by my sorority pledge class. Yeah DPHIE Girls...!!!!!
- go into my handbag and you will gasp! I promise! Not dirty... at all.. just unorganized.

But I appreciate and love organization. I love to see an organized pantry, drawer.... I love it! While other unorganized Peeps... could care less.. I care. That is why I feel in love with this handsome boy, Chris. Well one of the reasons. Chris is organized, meticulous.... I swear ... I remember one time at a Summer House pre marriage.. he opened his duffle bag. Every girl in the room GASPED! It was beautiful. Shirts perfect. socks perfect.. etc etc.

And Please know I am not putting myself down..... I know God gave me other strengths....( Organization is just not one).

So every year I begin the dread in my head around cleaning my closet. I want to do it.. I need to do it. I hate it. This thought sits there in my head for days, months, years.

So this past week WE DID IT! And it is organized...

And yes WE. I take the clothes out. Chris sorts and puts things back. And I love my redone closet (maybe not perfect but much better).


I feel the weight of the world off my shoulders and love it soooooooo!







And all you Super Organized People Feel Free to comment and say things like
" I would have organized by color, season , etc..."

PS: Edited to add.. one of my fave bloggers just wrote a similar post. I love her closet I must say

A Boys Life.......

How did I come to this strange place where I am outside throwing a football? I had never even held a football before having my boys.... God is funny. Just a very funny dude! This week was great.

Highlights:

- CJ is doing this fun homework assignment in the evenings. We are reading some Ted Bear Book and he gets to answer questions in a journal. Both boys love this.
- They both got decked out in their green attire for St. Pat's. Thanks Uncle Jer!
- There were rushed mornings, spilled drinks, and filthy clothes.....


Car Conversation on Thursday as we drive home from school:

CJ: "Mommy.... Mason is going to Antarctica to get some Polar Bears!"
Mason: " I No go to the attic to get Polar Bears!"

Mommy laughs out loud!!!!!!!!!

Life is GRAND! Happy... messy... and blessed with boys.... - G

Drum Roll Please: New Window Treatments!

Hi People. I can not believe it has been a month since my last entry. I have missed you sooo. With new job( I LOVE) and mommyhood and being very sick for several weeks I have not had the Bandwith to write. So Sorry. I am back. Energy coming back.. feeling like me again. WOO HOO. I need to be quick. New week fast approaching. My Window Treatments have been complete for over three weeks and I adore them! More to come on life later this week.

Sing in the shower! Dance.... Wear pretty things.... look at flowers... kiss your people A LOT! more to come.. Gieselle/Gigi...

PS: Edited to add.. I am not pregnant! I read above and thought.. OMG people might think I am pregnant. No.. No No. Mom to two boys is enough for this 40 year old chick- a-dee. I had a bronchial infection which created Short Term Asthma. Fun. But almost DONE. Two boys fun and we are DONE!
