And now I'm here again and it's Tuesday again and I'm pondering what I should tackle today. There's always so much to get done around here and with it being just me, I swear I feel like none of it ever does. Well, I've decided to continue tackling "the wall." For those who don't remember, the wall is actually the front room on the house. It was dubbed the wall by my children when the boxes were stacked up so high, you couldn't even see into the room, let alone walk into it. It's really going to be our office/craft room, but there are tons of boxes still in there. So, my goal for today is to unpack 2 boxes. Note that I do not say that I'm going to put the contents away. The reason for that is there are so many boxes, I can't even get to most of the places where things go. So, I've decided to start unpacking the boxes, moving anything in them that doesn't belong in there to the proper rooms and then I'll start getting it organized. Sometimes it's easier to organize when you can actually see everything you own, anyway.

So, that's my goal...to tackle 2 boxes in that room. What are all of you tackling today?

As all of you probably know, we moved into our new home about 2 months ago. We are still buried in boxes, but I am so happy to say that we've actually made a dent in "The Wall" (the boys named it that because our front room was nothing more than a wall of boxes). We still have a long ways to go until it's finished, but here's a sneak peek at what we've gotten done so far.

Before we started, you couldn't even get into the room. There were two bookshelves and a dresser blocking the doorway totally. Where did they go? Keep looking and find out!

Ack! These are just some of the boxes (well, all the ones in here) that still need to be tackled and dealt with. It may be a while before this room reaches completion!

Ah ha! Here is one of the bookshelves. It's up against the front wall of the room and now actually has all of the shelves on it and books slowly starting to fill it in. I'm still not sure where the missing drawer is to my plastic drawers but it has to be in a box somewhere!

You found them! There is the second bookshelf and the dresser that used to block the doorway. I got them into the room and into place and now they're slowly filling up. The two "missing" drawers are actually out in the living room on the couch. When I moved this in, there wasn't room to actually put the drawers back in. The top drawer is broken (yes mom, I know you fixed it but it broke again..I'm thinking duct tape) so nothing is being stored in it until I can find a way to fix it.

Just another angle. You can see how I got the paper sorter up on top and all of the papers organized into it by color. The two drawers that aren't broken and are in are storing my stamp sets. I'm going to have one more drawer for that, as soon as I get it into the dresser and emptied out of other things.

So, that's my progress! It's slow but it's coming along. Other things keep getting in the way of unpacking! Darned life!
