All weekend, despite being very, very sick himself, Jay has done the dishes, picked up the toys, run loads of laundry, carried children around, etc etc in an effort to make certain I don’t injure my back any further. He’s also played nursemaid to me: bugging me about my Ibuprofen dosages, taking issue with my poor posture a thousand times a day, and applying heating pads/icy hot wraps as needed to help me. Very sweet.
As if that weren’t enough, he also took it upon himself to continue my cleanup efforts – what a guy!. Toward that end he tackled four horrific junk drawers in the kitchen, my messy desk, and the top of his own dresser (which was also not looking so pretty). He might have spent some time ribbing me about all the long-lost household goods he discovered on these little adventures. And we might have thrown away about 80 pounds of trash after he culled through everything. But either way, it’s progress, don’t you agree?
I don’t have before pictures of everything to show you, but the desk looked like this:
and afterward:
The drawers all resembled this:
And after some careful attention from Jay and his young assistant,
they merely store phone books and office supplies once more, and look a whole lot like this:
So, many, many thanks, Jay for entering my Cleanup Contest.
Readers, for some reason, he doesn’t feel a need to be entered into the drawing for an organizational book of his choice. Ah well, all the better chance for one of you to win!
Remember…….There’s only one day left!! I will randomly draw a winner at 8pm CST, tomorrow. Get those cleanups done, and leave me a comment so I can put your name in the hat!
Jay would have a field day at our house!
Ok…I did it at the last second!
