While I haven’t been on here in, oh… pretty much forever, I have been thinking a ton about the site and how much I have been missing it!  I miss thinking and feeling organized!  There is nothing quite like thinking about organizing all the time to keep you on track.

Here is the quickest update:  had a baby, had a massive flood in the basement, renovated said basement, rebuilt half an Ikea store, unpacked - brief moment of aaahhhhh, then a spontaneous move just after Christmas with the new house needing to be re-done and husband in busiest possible rotation in internship, (because why make life easy, right?!?), months of disorder and various states of unpacking/half-finished projects, then ANOTHER BASEMENT FLOOD IN THE NEW HOUSE, (seriously water gods, what have I done to offend thee????),  a sudden (albeit cr-AZY) realization that I was going to have to homeschool all the hooligans, more renos to the basement…

Oh, and I am presently expecting baby #5 in about 4 weeks.

Good times.  But holy dinah - it has made me a virtual expert in dealing with water issues in the basement.  Woo-hoo.

Tip for the day: As my good friend Daria once told me, “You can save money OR time, but not both.”

So true.  And when you opt to save money because of hubby being a perpetual student, it makes for a Very. Long. Renovation.  Many months later, the basement is nearly, nearly done and I am finally back in a space where I can think about organizing.

But, man it feels good to be back!  I can’t wait to share what I have learned/re-learned, as well as what NOT to do to get back on track.
