So, I can officially say that Matt didn't think I had it in me. Today we cleared out the majority of the spare room. I mean, it's bare, you can see floor. It's about 80% of the way there. There are still some big items that need to be taken out, but that's not TOO bad at all. I think the weirdest part about it for Matt is that he honestly had no idea that we'd be able to put any of it away in our house, much less have a liveable house after it was all moved.
Now, our dining room is uninhabitable. But it is the same size as a POD would have been, if not bigger. Plus, you add in that it's heated and less likely to get broken into. It's also not an eyesore on our neighbors and won't take up a parking space. Not to mention, we save $200.
We do have items in our family room stacked up as well, but you'd be hardpressed to see the impact to our day-to-day lives in here. I can still use the elliptical machine, stretch, sit on the sofa and loveseat and also use the coffee table. Plus there's a lot of walking room. Honestly, there is very little impact.
Now, that can't be said for our laundry room. We have two six foot rolling racks back to back in there. I'm contemplating bringing one out into the family room since it rolls anyway. I have about a foot and a half in front of the washer and dryer for space. That's not much while doing laundry!
Matt and Maddy stopped at Lowes tonight and took a couple things back and picked up a couple things. Then they went to the grocery store which is good since our fridge was BARE.
The bad news is that I'm coming down with a cold. ARGH. This is the first time I've been sick in over a year. So I can't really complain but I really don't want Maddy to get it since the change in schedule and having work people come in. I really don't want a sick toddler on my hands! But, the bad news about that too is that she hasn't been getting as much sleep as she was before so her immune system is probably lower. Add in that she loves to share my cups with me to practice drinking... and well, it's probably inevitable. I've been washing my hands all day and I'm hoping that will help some.
Well, I think I'm going to read a magazine or two and then off to bed. I am impromtu teaching Sunday School tomorrow and don't even know what I'm teaching yet. It's at church and I just got the email tonight asking if I would sub. So I will need to go in early tomorrow to prep.
Have a great rest of the weekend!
