Organizer's Dream

We are officially moved in! (and we now have internet!!!) The moving crew came on Monday and hauled half of our stuff up to the third floor. The other half went straight on a UHaul to be put in storage (not as easy or cheap as it sounds) The four guys that showed up had been told there was no elevator, so they were beyond happy to find out there was! It took about 7 hours for them to unload the TWO moving trucks they brought. They also "unpacked" for us. Unpacking = dumping the box upside down and taking the box with them, resulting in giant piles of stuff. It looked like something from the tv show Hoarders, no joke. Luckily, once we put everything away, there were no dead cats or rotten meatloaf. We are about 90% done. The only "piles" still on the floor are things that I have no idea where to put but aren't ready to throw out (Xmas wreaths, beach towels, books).

Right now my apartment is an organizer's dream. Luckily, I love to organize! So part of me loves the fact that we're throwing out as much junk as we can and only keeping what we need and everything can be cleaned and put away nicely. Of course, I'll need to buy sone bins, research Pinterest for hours and then label everything in sight! My goal is for everything to have its forever-home by the end of the week. This is quite a big on-taking considering I have a munchkin running around getting into things. [[He has teething this week (1 yr molars) and it has really been wearing him out, poor guy.]]

I haven't taken many photos so far (who puts photos on the Internet of their house being an absolute disaster?! That would be like posting pictures of myself with no makeup on. It's just insanity!) but I am borderline crazy so here is ONE photo. This was taken on Monday night after the movers left and we had been to the storage unit AND we had been unpacking for hours.
