I'm A Mormon Now!!

I think now I am able to claim to be a real member of the LDS church. I have food storage under my bed. But since I still have a box spring and not sleeping directly on the cans, I am not sure. I will have to let you readers decide. I would have preferred the food going in the garage, but with this heat, no way. I had always thought that we had a lot of food storage, but when under the bed still has room, I think we need more. I guess it also would have been a great time to write down what and how much we have of everything, but I didn't. We actually have more food but it could still fit in the closet without be to disruptive.
We had put shelves in our master closet a long while ago to keep our food storage. It got to the point where there was little room for our clothes and you couldn't open the door all the way. I was also thinking that if we by chance have to move, we should probably start putting the house in sell able condition. So that will be occupying me for the next little while. Going room to room touching up paint, and putting the finishing touches on unfinished projects. It also gives me the chance to throw things out. I love that.
I should probably slow down a bit otherwise Shanell will have nothing to help me with. We decided last year to help each other organize our homes. Since that didn't happen, we rededicated ourselves to this year. We started in her house and have accomplished a lot. She has even allowed me to rearrange furniture. I have inherited this gene from my mother. It isn't truly clean and organized unless furniture has been moved. I think I need help most in the decorating department. Shanell has the creative mind where I am lacking. It is a great partnership.

I feel I really earned my stripes when I got my freezer in the garage. Already have food storage under every possible place in the house!

hahaha...I suppose I'm not yet! Actually most of our food storage is at Seth's house because we don't even have room under our beds. Guess who will be loving it if there IS an emergency!

Oh yes, I wish I had before and after pictures of my AMAZINGLY clean house. You are just the kick in the pants that I needed. And yes, please slow down or I'm going to feel really bad. Maybe I could do your food storage organization folder or something...

I personally think that it's great that you have arrived. This month's Ensign has a great food storage story called the 2 cans of corn.
Am excited about throwing out, how I love doing that. I was going to clean today but I think I'll go fishing again. Not much time left and the big problem is that there aren't anymore fish. Neighbor John can't believe that I haven't accepted that yet! Love Ya, Mom
