The Life of a Newly Wed

Today has been filled with lots of laundry, as was yesterday. I must admit, I just finished laundry from our trip to Texas a month ago! I know I know, I get an F this month in being a housewife. If there is one thing I hate more in the world than anything else is hanging up clothes. I finally have all the clothes washed now I just have one more load to hang up. Part of my issue with hanging up the clothes is that all of our clothes do not fit in the closet.
It's about 1/4 of the size of the one that we came from which was also to small. (that's the whole closet! two tiny little rows. UGH! I do love all of the shoe cubbies though)

This is the closet we came from. Oh how I miss my walk-in closet!

Any who, in preparation for Lindsey and Amanda coming up here next week, I have been washing all of the linens on the extra beds and towels and all of those things that we normally don't use. (Now, keep in mind we do use towels but we pretty much use the same 3 or 4 so they never make it to the linen closet and the ones in the linen closet haven't been washed since we moved in, because they haven't been used)

On our bed, Mark and I have the most amazing down comforter and it's the biggest pain in the arse to wash. Not to mention that I don't have my awesome king size capacity washer and dryer in this house. They are in storage in the garage. A whole hell of a lot of good they are doing for me there. Can you feel my frustration in not having my great appliances and having to use the ones that came with the house? These people left the appliances behind because well, they can't get them out! Lovely eh?

Dinner was great last night with Samantha. The roads were TERRIBLE going to dinner but they were much better coming home. It's always better when the snow plows have gone through and cleared and salted the roads. The hostess spilled a cup of water on Sam so she got her meal free. She didn't get to wet so it was all good.

Mark is on his way home and it will be nice to have him home. I've got a beef stew medley in the crock pot and it smells amazing! Yummy! Hopefully his drive back here will be a safe one. He has to go back next Tuesday for work but I have finally been able to concur one of my biggest fears... last night I slept upstairs in my own bed when Mark wasn't home! That's a huge thing for me because if you know me or read one of my first post, I have a MAJOR phobia of this. Now granted, all three dogs slept with me till about 6am but it was still nice.

I have been so tired lately and I'm not sure why. We are only on CD 8 so there's nothing to chalk it up to right now.

Any who, hope you all had a great day.

Have a good one.
