Gotta get my butt in gear

My oh my, it’s been a long week. Seriously. If I haven’t been working, then that means the boys and I have been spending some quality time together, or I’m just too tired to think of interesting things to blog about. :P Either way, I haven’t been here. :upsidedown:

Josh got a Xbox 360 the other day from work. It’s bad ass - and that’s coming from someone who rarely plays video games. Tonight while we were in town, he insisted on buying Dead Rising for it, and is playing it now. Just hearing it being played in the living room gives me chills, as I am absolutely terrified of any and all things relating to zombies. Even as fictitious as they are, I am seriously hesitant to walk in there and take a chance on seeing one. :shock: I know, it’s just a video game, but I guess it’s just the thought of the possibility of it really occurring in real life that I’m afraid of. I can’t wait until a few of the games that I’m interested in playing are released. :D I’m really excited about Super Mario Galaxy (for Wii), Mario Kart Wii, and Grand Theft Auto IV (for 360). I guess along with being an internet nerd, I’m also secretly a gamer at heart. :heart: Who knew?

Unfortunately, instead of having my mind on crazy awesome things like blogging and playing video games, what I really need to be concentrating on is getting our house organized! It’s unbelievably unorganized, and the clutter has really snuck up on me. Dylan’s room has officially become a disaster area. He has tons and tons of toys that he insists on leaving in the middle of the room, most of which he has outgrown and gotten bored with. His dresser drawers are nothing to brag about either. He also has tons of clothes, again, most of which he has outgrown. I’ve been putting it off and putting it off, but it’s really time that I organize his room, closet, and all of the other areas of the house that have become ‘dumping grounds’ for all of our unwanted junk. Man, I hate clutter.

I’d love to hear some tips on how you guys keep things organized around your houses. Do you have special bins to keep toys? A bill box? Anything will be helpful in my quest for organization. :) Wish me luck.
