I don't know about you, but I have a child at home sick with some sort of boring bug and I'm clocking up some significant Nurse Maude hours in the process.
Yesterday was spent disinfecting the house to get rid of the germs Bailey insisted on throwing around. Which let me tell you, is nowhere near as glamourous as it sounds. And today he woke up looking like Casper the Friendly Ghost (google it if you're under 35) which means we've officially entered Day 2 of his Germ Watch and my House Arrest.
He's stoked as it means a whole day of lying in bed playing Mine Craft while waiting for food to be brought to him on a tray. Tough life.
I, on the other hand, am BORED OUT OF MY EFFING MIND. So bored in fact, that today I've been doing what could only be described as Hardcore Organising. Complete with Before and After shots. Because if I'm bored, you should be too.

I've also got stuck into some serious labelling. I know. I'm totally living on the edge. Check it out....
The Sticky Tape label disturbs me no end. Because there's a glue stick in that draw too, but I adhere to a strict 'One Label Per Draw' rule and so I was torn between printing a 'sticky tape' or a 'glue' label. Really, I was. Upon looking at that photo, I think I'm going to have to remove the glue stick immediately. Big Issues people, we're all about the Big Issues.
Which brings me to my next discovery. Printers that print onto CD's. Um, hello labelling heaven. It's so nice to meet you. Since I bought myself a new printer on Monday, I've been churning out the labelled CD's like there's no tomorrow and I'm a bit excited at how professional they look. Thanks to my clever cousin, Dalice for hooking me up with all the printer info.
Um, did I just type the words 'hooking me up'? Seriously?
I think I might be high on second hand Vicks Vapour Rub fumes.
K&Co over and out.
Im having a crap day and that was a good laugh, so thank you x
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! And your comment has made my day, so we're totes even x
DeleteLove this post! What about labeling the draw 'adhesives'?
ReplyDeleteOk, I might be a little too into organising myself :)
You're the 3rd person to suggest 'adhesives' so I think it's a winner. Will whip up a new label shortly. Loving the name of your blog too...off to check it out now x
DeleteTotally forgot that my printer does CDs - thanks for the reminder! One of my organising "to do's" is organising all my photos on the computer and backing them up properly! Hope your little one feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteHe's feeling much better, thanks Nina.
DeleteAnd putting all those photos onto disks is exactly what I've been doing all day. It took ages but is so worth it! Good luck with your organising too :)
Forgot about the CD labelling too! I hate when kids are sick and you miss out on days and days of activities that would never have been on if they weren't sick. This happened the week before christmas last year...all that socialising and drinking I missed! Hope he perks up soon so you can get out!
ReplyDeleteThanks Annaleis. He's all better now and back at school, so it was off to the shop for me today!
