CDO & ADDH

This last week I've been trying really hard to organize rooms and clean out Crap we have in the space that will become the babies room. Man these are those days when I wish I was medicated or had someone standing over my shoulder keeping me moving in the proper direction. Now I know many of you will read this and think "What's the big deal clean the dang room" I only wish my days were that simple. Let me enlighten you a bit.


Task at hand: Organize baby room for painting

I enter room and begin to tidy up things I notice the box of ribbon I own, while cleaning up the ribbon and putting them in the briefcase I have to store them in I notice a plastic container that needs to be put back down stairs. I then proceed to take said container down stairs upon putting it back in the cabinet I notice how completely disorder it is and decide it would be much more helpful to organize this while I am here. I then begin dragging out all the dishes and containers held in said cabinet. This in turn leads to finding a bowl that is more of a mixing bowl then a cereal bowl and when I proceed to put it in the area it belongs I am unhappy with the organization and redo that cabinet as well. This in turn has taken up on average 3 + hours from my days. This does NOT include the laundry I am trying to keep going, the front room I have picked up and the trash I might of gotten take out. I find by the time Caylon comes home from work that I have redone the entire kitchen cabinet layout and moved EVERYTHING into new places that I for the time being think better serves us. (I will redo things about 2-3  weeks later because I don't like the functionality of it). 

So her is what my house now looks like. 

Baby's room- simply has had the ribbon organized

Kitchen- entire new cabinet layout

Front room- toys put away  (yet to be vacuumed or dusted)

Laundry- 2 loads washed but simply stacked on top of folding table ( to sit there a few days)

PURPOSE FOR THE DAY- To simply ORGANIZE Baby's room to make ready for painting and building shelves


Purpose achieved- HECK NO!

I know this doesn't sound like the frustrating mess I may of made it sound like, but for me someone with CDO & ADDH (OCD &ADHD). When I look back at the list I had made for myself and thing things that haven't been checked off it is at times devastating. I see so many Facebook status' from other mothers listing the many and I mean may things they have done that day and all I was able to accomplish was organizing and rearranging the inside of the kitchen cabinets! 

It drives Caylon crazy sometimes, because I can spend hours redoing something he sees as completely fine but not manage to spend time on things that as he says (see) when they come over.

For instance now, I had this awesome thought to come upstairs and Google the entire series of THE BAILEY CITY SCHOOL KIDS to try and find a list of every book published for Ri~Lee. What happened when I sat down I noticed a cup sitting on the computer desk took it down stairs washed it, picked up the toys in the kitchen took them to their rooms then noticed some pens in Ri~Lee's room that needed to comeback upstairs. So here I am frustrated with my 1 1/2 hour walk through he house I sat down and wrote this blog about it. Guess what I still haven't searched for the book, in fact until I started this paragraph I had completely forgotten the reason for sitting at this computer. I just happened to look up and see one of the books sitting in front of me and  in the words of GRU 9from my favorite movie) LIGHT BULB ~ I am supposed to be doing something else. 

UGH! I expect  no one to actually relate to this post, I was just incredibly upset with myself even when I whole heartily put forward an effort to accomplish something truly needed during the day and after hours I have zero to show for it..

Night Mares

Ever lay in bed at night and can't get to sleep because thoughts from a t.v show or movie are playing over and over in your head?

Well, I tend to do it a lot. I love crime shows don't get me wrong but I have come to realize in the last few weeks that I really can't handle to watch them a lot. Shows like CSI, NCIS, The Mentalist, Castle, Bones and many more that are HUGE hits are also on my top faves list, but after watching the episode of Bones last night I laid in bed for about 2 hours replaying the scene where a sniper shots a .338(I think) solid copper round at the head of a women being called the gravedigger. The scene showed her head literally flying to pieces and her body hitting the ground and spewing blood all over the place, what got me was it went back to that shot about 3 times to show the blood coming out. I guess I have become a big baby. I had nightmares for weeks off and on after I watched the Brad Pitt movie where he tries to kill Hitler, no idea of the name. It was an amazing movie up until the lined them all up in front of a firing squad at the very end and for some reason that scene stayed with me for quite a while.

It's funny to me the way things work. What is better to watch shows like SEX and the City on E!, maybe Desperate Housewives on Sunday nights, both of which portrayed a lot of Sex, cussing, lying, and even cheating in some cases. (Don't get me wrong I love both shows). Or is it better to watch shows that sadly portray truth showing murders and violence and very gory scenes at times? All of these shows I suppose are wrong in their own ways. The Lord asks us not to partake in shows like Sex in the City but he also ask us not to be violent or murder so is watching CSI really better? I suppose this comes down to a personal decision. Mine right now is to stick with the BIG BANG THING, or GLEE, maybe even HELLCATS. I find the teenie bopper show leave me with a restful night sleep. To bad Hannah Montana Forever went off a few weeks ago, I was really enjoying the bliss sleep I got after watching Miley try and decide to go to college or not. =}

So here's the Question?

What is you choice? What shows to you enjoy? What show is your dirty little secret? Don't worry I won't tell =}

Acceptance

Is there so such thing?

The lIfe of Me!

So, let's go back a few days shall we.

Friday April 9th. Bathtub in Master bath won't completely shut off hot water streams out slowly.

Thursday April 15 Maitance finally come to fix it, now no water comes out but I have no warm much less hot water in that tub, I was going to call next week.
Saturday April 17 Since Thursday morning I hadn't showered but the kids had taken several baths in that tub. 9:45pm I turn on the shower which is still not really warm then walk in the hallway to get a town and think to myself that the water sounded really loud in the hallway almost like it was coming out. I walked down the stairs to see if the sound got louder or quieter and guess what. IT GOT LOUDER. It was pouring out of the air vent and the ceiling on top of my entertainment center, t.v., and wii to make it worse. I immediately run up stairs and call mataince who calls right back and says he will come over and help me move my t.v cause I can't alone and clean it up. Well 45 minutes later he shows up thank you wonderful gate guard who won't let people on base even though this guy has worked for housing since I freaking moved here. We move the t.v clean up all the water and he takes a screwdriver and pokes a hole in the ceiling and 5 inches of water fill this bucket. Then we notice that the stair Wall has a huge bubble in the wall, so he pokes that and several more pour out into the bucket. He leaves me with buckets everywhere and towels to soak it up until Monday. I am not allowed to shower or use the water in either bathroom upstairs. WONDERFUL sine I was stinky and my hair was getting that nasty feeling you get when you go more then 2 days and don't was it in the Georgia humidity. YEAH ME!! So I shower Sunday at a awesome friends house so now I at least don't smell.

Monday April 19. Matiance shows up at 8:30 and finally leaves at a bout 2:30 pm the pipe is supposedly fixed and the wall now has a patch on it the carpet is still a bit soggy (hope I can get out of cleaning it since they have to replace it). I go up to shower tonight since he said the pipe is fine and still don't have warm or hot water in the tub, I do in the other upstairs bathroom and all the other places in the house. Not only am I without warm water but somehow the water is now coming out of the shower sprayer and the tub spout at the same time no matter if the lever to change the water flow direction is up or pushed down. What the heck, and get this the other bathroom that was supposed to not have problems is now continually leaking warmish water out of it. SERIOUSLY!! I move in 4 freaking days!!


F.Y.I. we have lived in this house for over 2 years and have called maitance several times to tell them that the water would sometimes drip slowly from the ceiling and they have only come out to scrape the popcorn ceiling and then spray paint the brown leak spot, there are still several leak spots not painted and they have never repopcorned the ceiling.

I know this is one of those things I will look back and laugh about but, I guess I am not far enough out from the problem to find it funny yet. I consider this a sign from God that I am supposed to get the heck out of this house before I drown in water in my sleep! :) j/k well kinda I really think I need to hurry up and get out but I don't think I will drown!
