Mission Accomplished (Well almost - The first part anyways)

1. I did the dishes again tonight after supper.
2. I went swimming with Raven.
3. The tub full of vinegar water seems to have a mostly positive affect on the cat pee smell. My one shirt that I really like did not smell but a bag that got caught still had a whiff of it.
4. I boxed books today. I moved things out of the computer room so the desk could be moved.
5. The desk was moved out into the living with help from Raven.

Otherwise the desk would not have been moved and I would have been annoyed that it hadn't gotten done. You see the helper that was going to come and help Hubby tonight could not make it. That and when Hubby rounded one of the corners on our block his tire was slashed by a piece of metal that had been jutting out onto the street. So hubby ended up having to deal with that all night instead of his other chores he said he would do. He also did not eat supper. But Raven wanted to hang and maybe if I wasn't too tired go swimming tonight. So once she moved the desk (Which she did all by herself with no scuff marks. Wow she Rocks!) I desperately wanted out of the house. We let Hubby set the computer back up. Even though it was late the swim lanes were still open for another two hours. Yeah chlorine hair is better than sweaty stinky hair any day!

In my vein of packing and moving things around for the nursery I underestimated how many boxes I would need to box all the books from just two of the bookshelves. I thought six would be enough. I figure I will need at least four more to be on the safe side. (These are banker boxes by the way.) I had forgotten how many boxes we had to use just to get all of our collection to this place. So I will be finishing that job tomorrow most likely by sending Bear into the crawl space to get the rest of the ones I need. I have also come to the conclusion (due to one or two of the boxes having suffered water damage) that I can not continue to store them down there. The plastic tubs should be okay though. We just tend to use them more often so they are stored in a more convenient place (ala the garage).

Now I just have to get a rug for under the chair for the computer. It left scuff marks on the floor in the nursery and luckily for me I know that Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser will get them off. I had to use it before in the kitchen. I just never paid any attention to the computer chair. Doh! I will still have a lot of cleaning to do and hopefully the kids don't mess around with the boxes I have stacked in the living room right now. One is full of all my knick knacks that are to go on top of the bookshelves when they are moved into the living room. Other than that we just have to move the blue cubby shelves into the kitchen to make room for the other desk that we want to put in the living room. That one will be my sewing/new computer desk if/when we get the new one. Which I still haven't gone to the website for yet. I really should do that soon.

Once that is done I might just have a nursery!
