One Week Left

This is my last week before having to follow someone else's schedule. One week to complete all the household tasks I planned last June, but still haven't completed. Tomorrow will have to be the start of the mad dash to get it all done... and I swore I wasn't going to procrastinate any more.

First task is cleaning out the "storage room"... I have no idea where I'm going to put everything, but I desperatly need a play room, so I have to find a new home for all the crap.

Second task is painting, painting. I hope I'll be able to get to that by Wednesday.

Before and after photos posted tomorrow.
