Tackle It Tuesday

It's Tackle It Tuesday, again! I am actually starting to really enjoy this weekly kick in the butt to get some of the big things in our place done. Today I tackled out spare bedroom. Here are the befores:

Here are the afters (Please note, I still need Prince Charming to check the nuts on the bed and make sure everything is tightened up enough, but at least it is looking presentable again. I have another tackle for later if Prince Charming wakes up early enough):

Weight Loss

Little Princess

Little Princess LOVED kinderstart. In this session, she was in the room with the teacher and other kids, and I attended a meeting with all other the parents. She had a great time and enjoyed herself thoroughly. Given her issues with preschool, I asked the teacher how she seemed. Did she seem overly hyper or active, did she seem to have a short attention span. The teacher said she did wonderfully and that she seemed perfectly normal. So I am going to just wait for a while and see how she does in a kindergarten environment. Maybe she is just a really active normal five year old. That would be wonderful.
