Organizing the Chaos

About three weeks ago I went to pick out new chairs for the living room. The ones we have are terrible!

I never said anything because my grandmother bought them for me when I first moved in and I didn’t want to seem ungrateful. Well she came to visit and was sitting in them and turned and said,

“These are the worst chairs I’ve ever sat in! Why are the arms so hard?”

“The arms are hard because the padding disappeared and you are leaning on the wooden frame.”

So then I didn’t feel bad about new chairs.

When we were looking at new chairs I told my mom and grandmother to keep in mind that in a few months to a year I hoped to also get a new leather sofa so make sure the chairs will look alright.

My grandmother then insisted we look at sofas because she is getting me a new one! As she put it I need the sofa, my furniture is terrible and her first great-grandchild is on its way. Since she also bought the original sofa I couldn’t argue that is was terrible, and I learn years ago not to argue with her if she wants to buy you something.

Her love language is gifts, and since I am minimalizing she doesn’t know what to do so she buys me things I “need.” We might have different ideas on needs.

The furniture was supposed to take six weeks, so I started other household projects (like redoing the master closet). Since I still don’t have as much energy I work until I can’t move and then leave the house a mess. Vince says its fine because at the end of all the projects the house will be better organized and clean (hopefully for a long time!)

Guess who called this morning and what will be delivered tomorrow?

Yep the new furniture!

Well thankfully I “finished” the master closet last night, but the rest of the house still has clothes and other things everywhere and its complete chaos.

I took a break to eat and type this but I am frantically trying to arrange the house so the furniture can be moved in.

Prayers are welcome, but I really can’t complain. I am so blessed everything is working out and will be ready for baby.

Be on the look out for posts about the new furniture, the new closet, and the updates on the progress of the other rooms!
