Despite the nagging back pain

Despite the nagging back pain since I woke up, I’ve been quite motivated today. A few weeks ago while working on cleaning up the closet in the playroom I discovered that under our basement steps we have tons of storage space. There’s rods for hanging clothes and everything. I was so excited but it was also very dirty down there. Since it’s a rainy day I let Caleb play while I worked in there, he mostly played at trying to see what I was up to! I got it all cleaned up and moved boxes of stuff that we dont need to get into for a while to that storage spcae. Now dean has more room for his tools and stuff in our back storage space. We’ve got a cool little nook in the basement w/ shelving and hooks for tools and the like. Until today it’s mostly been jammed w/ bins of old stuff. Since we’ve moved in I’ve done little by little to rid us of that extra junk. Today I made great strides in getting it out of the way. I am hoping Dean appreciates the space. He hates going down to look for tools and being unable to get past my junk. So now that Calebs napping I’m off to finish up that and my big sanding/ painting project in our basement bathroom. My biggest motivator is our party this Sunday but I dont really care, at this point I knew the project wouldnt be done in time, but at least now it might be easier to have guests downstairs if it rains. Or so by the end of the week I hope things are looking that good down there. Until then, work work work…..geez, I think I do more work than if I had a paying job…

Did I mention I’ve got my first batch of homemade spaghetti sauce simmering in the crock pot while I work….mmmm! It’s a perfect day for a big ol’ plate of spaghetti…
