I have to Let It Go...

The time has come where I have to just LET IT GO!  I love everything in its rightful place and organized.  I cannot get in bed if there is a dish in the sink, laundry is not folded and put away or the boys clothes are not layed out and ready for the next morning for school.

Well the time has come for the construction on the media room and everywhere else to start.  Are we REALLY doing this right now?  Seth is three and a half weeks old and we are REALLY doing it!  We have been talking about it since we moved into the house, you know... TWO weeks before Sophia was born!

So, I took a deep breath and just LET IT GO!  My house was about to become a war zone for FIVE WEEKS!  The master closet had to be cleared out, the boys bedroom closet cleared out and their beds moved to Seth's room and the laundry room cleared out.  Then the plastic came out and the carpet ripped up and the dust started to fly!  All the furniture was covered in plastic along with my bed and and everything else in my room.

There were going to be strange crews of people in my house from 9-5 Monday through Friday in and out all day.  Sophia, who is scared and nervous around family members and neighbors we see ALL the time had NO problems talking to the workers.  She would NOT leave them alone.  They all knew her name and would ask where she was when she was at school and not bothering them :)  She would wake up asking if Rob was here and if he was not, she would ask where he was.
