This is my first post for Tackle It Tuesday, a terrific weekly feature that started on 5 Minutes for Mom! We had no specific plans for Memorial Day, so while Chris & the kids were cleaning out the garage – meaning, breaking down all the boxes I had tossed in there over the last month to take to the recycling center – I decided to tackle Kaitlyn’s room. At first I wasn’t going to take a picture because it was just so embarrassing, and then I decided what the heck, it would be a good excuse to do a post for Tackle It Tuesday. Brace yourselves:

Why yes, it DOES look like the Barnes & Noble kids’ section and the Target toy aisle exploded all over her room!  Also, last week I asked Nathan to put the laundry away and he whined that he couldn’t put Kaitlyn’s clothes away because he didn’t know what drawers anything went in. So I solved that problem for him:

No more excuses for you, Mister

I’ve always assumed that the goal of Tackle It Tuesday was to show how you completed a project, but I checked with Susan on Twitter and she assured me that it’s okay to just post the beginning of a project – whew!  See, I had every intention of Kaitlyn and I actually cleaning her room, but Monday evening I started to feel lightheaded, and it gradually got worse. I went to the doctor on Tuesday and learned I have an ear infection. I feel like I just got off a merry-go-round pretty much all the time right now. So, hopefully by NEXT Tuesday I’ll be posting the follow-up photos showing the CLEAN room!
