Okay... so PC was taking over our whole house... first of all.. I'm NOT an organized person. I can organize and event and have a ball, do a show and have a blast but I'm a piler ... you know... pile here, pile there. My husband says I have a flat surface disease. If I see a flat surface... I have a need to pile stuff (he often uses another more descriptive word there) on that flat surface. He says if he ever gets to build me a new kitchen, all the countertops will be at an angle so that I can work at them but not let anything rest there!!!!!!! SO... I am trying very hard to reform from this sad problem but it's a long recovery let me tell you! So as God has been blessing my business and building a team for me... the piles and boxes and supplies have not found efficient homes and efficiency is my DH's favorite subject. He can't be home if I'm mowing the lawn (he has a side job mowing lawns to pay our kids tuition) because I don't go fast enough and mow effieciently enough. DUH... I'm out there alone and noone can bug me... WHY would I want to go FASTER???????? 
Anyway... we have a little building in our backyard that used to have one room that was our farm office. It had been taken over pretty much for storage and on Tuesday or Wed. DH said to me that we should empty that room out, clean it up, paint and fix the floor and I could have my own office. Now recall that I LOVE an EVENT... so I made this into one! By Friday the junk was cleared out and DH took the day off to fix the rotted places in the ceiling and floor. I felt SO bad because what should have been quick fix up took nearly two days. By the time I got home from my PC Show on Friday night he had installed laminate wood flooring and the room was ready for paint. We did that together yesterday and got all the shelving we had moved back in and I loaded those shelves with plastic containers of all my paper work, catalogs etc. I am SO excited!!!!!! Now I just need to gather all the stacks of show order forms and things that are still on my desk in here and get them out of here. The only thing I'll keep in the house is my planner and my binder with all my info in it for shows and recruits. I computer is of course in the house but I can use DH's laptop out there... the wireless will work out there. I know that you born organized people out there take all this for granted but let me tell you... I am SO EXCITED that I just had to share!!!!!! I would take photos but it's a weird space to get a good shot of... I'll try later though. With our big family, I am so excited to think that I have a place to sit down and meet with someone too! That gives me great incentive to keep it looking gorgeous just like it does right now!!!!!! Sorry this is so long! I guess I'm making up for not being on here much and I'm SO worried about my recruit that sliced her thumb...

We are so opposite! I can pile and pile and he can't stand it!!! He's a box/triangle and I'm a rectangle/squiggle/circle...... you choose, and in reality I think that's the definition of a rectangle, that they can change from day to day!
