Top Ten Ways Our Life Is In Disarray Right Now


This week for Top Ten Tuesday I’d like to show you how our life is in a bit of disarray right now. Mike decided to sand and re-stain our bedroom, dining room and playroom floor.

Top Ten Ways Our Life Is In Disarray Right Now


1. EVERYTHING is covered in sawdust. Everything.

This is Mike sanding our bedroom floor. We tried( to no avail) to get our dresser out but it won’t round the corner in our tiny upstairs hallway. It was either leave it in the bedroom or carry it all the way downstairs. And there was no where to put it in our living room! So Mike is doing our bedroom in two steps to work around the dresser!

2. Sleeping arrangements tight.

We’re sleeping In our girls bedroom. We just finished the floors in there so we hadn’t moved them back in there yet. It’s a very messy, over filled, tight squeeze. You should see the room the girls are sleeping in! Then again, it’s probably best that you don’t. There’s no where to walk!

4. Our stuff is crammed into odd places and we can’t get to any closets!

5. Our living is now the dining room and play room as well.

6.  Stuff is stacked everywhere and we can’t find anything.

Even our poor birds have something stacked on top of their cage!

7. We can’t get to our basement (where our laundry room is located) from the inside of the house because, yep, there’s stuff stacked at the top of the stairs too. So I have to go outside and go into the basement from the side entrance. It’s been real fun carrying laundry baskets in and out like that. Not!!!

8. I have no convenient “office” to speak of right now so I have not where to put my laptop with our excel spreadsheet on it. All of our bills and paperwork is spread all over the living room and it’s completely disorganized. Our tracking for spending is not up to date and we’re going to have to catch up on all of that.

9. The girls have no where to play! Other than the living room and their bedroom. And you’ve seen the living room. On nice days I send them outside. Thankfully we haven’t had a lot of rainy days. The floors should be finished this week. Mike was supposed to put the last coat of polyurethane on the floors last night but he got home from work at almost midnight so that didn’t happen! The gall!

10. Oh, then there’s this:

But this has put our lives in good disarray! It’s a huge blessing!!

Head over to Oh Amanda for more great Top Ten Tuesday posts!

    Congratulations! I guess you have a pretty firm deadline to have the house finished now. LOL I’m sorry for the remodeling mess you’re dealing with but it be glorious when it’s all finished. Our floors need to be redone, but I can’t see that happening with us in the house.

    I feel for you, but it will be over soon the Lord willing. Redoing a house is a pain most of the time. I remember doing it in Brasil when we added your bedroom and bathroom, dinning room and den! What a mess. It will be all worth it when it’s done:)

    First, Congratulations! That is a good kind of disarray! As for the house, it will be wonderful when you are finished, if you can just survive til then. I wish there was a good reason that my house is in such disarray, but there’s not. So I won’t show pictures :)

    I LOVE REAL posts like this! :) It’s so easy to only show or see the best side of people. Not that this disarray is a bad thing! My motto lately has been “has to get messier before it gets cleaner!” LOL! :)
