Now I have space for my over sized soup pot and some appliances to put up on the shelves.<br />When I clean I make sure to donate the items before my husband gets to go through the items.

Might be a good quilt to carry in the car in the winter.

I have the fridge and oven to clean and I have managed to procrastinate for months, I am a dismal housekeeper.

Now I just need to find someone to take all these old jeans that can't be worn anymore but I can't bring myself to throw out. I'm sure there is someone that would love to use the fabric for something. Or better yet, does anyone know of anything other than bags that I can make with jean fabric?Sparklesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806553694200529082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-33809067033092548162014-11-06T19:22:51.129-06:002014-11-06T19:22:51.129-06:00JJ - Isn't that ridiculous when you think of i...JJ - Isn't that ridiculous when you think of it?

But it is sunny outside so I need to be out there enjoying this day in the fall garden - still have tomatoes, peas and Brussels sprouts to tend.

Have half the house closed off (which is fortunate we're able to do), and the stairway to the basement open with a fan blowing out a window directly across from the door. Did I include that little project on my list for the day? Nope, but I didn't have to do the actual work either.

I might put that on the "boredom" list for the kids. When I hear "I'm bored" I tell them "I can help you fix that" and check my list for such jobs.
