This week mutiny held no mercy on the Cucinella household. It all began on Saturday morning when we had workers in to demo our son's new bedroom. This room has not been touched since probably the early 1970s and we have had no reason to update it yet, so now is the time! We are currently in phase 2 of the room.
There was dust everywhere! Two days later, our house was back in order after a lot of dust removal and my son started showing signs of sickness. After finding that 8 out of 20 students in his preschool class were sick with Influenza B, I brought him to the dr to conclude that he was lucky patient #9.
After 3 sleepless nights with my son, I was hopeful that we were over the hump, I got him to bed and I was hopeful I could get in a good hour of working on my Genius Hour project. My husband was showering and getting ready for work when I realized I heard a noise from the kitchen.

We were extremely lucky to have a plumber come the very next day.
I had my hands tied and there wasn't a whole lot that I could do, but I was not about to give up on this project.
I was expecting "The Dip." How would I carry on?
My house was covered in dust and water, my son wouldn't leave my side and my work was piling up. I've realized through this process that Marie Kondo just isn't my girl. I decided to get on Pinterest and find a professional organizer who inspired me and understood my style. This is where I found the amazing founder of Clutterbug, Cassandra Aarssen.
This lady is my organized spirit animal. You begin by taking a (free) online test to determine what type of Clutterbug you are. I identify as a ladybug! What this means is that I like things neat and tidy and put away, but I hate the process of putting it away in it's spot. Taking off lids and opening containers... it is not for me. Therefore, I like open, well-organized, containers.
No one, and I mean no one, gets me like Cas does! Are you a ladybug? See below!

Gah! When it rains, it pours(no pun intended). I think I am a ladybug too! My life reminds me of that Sesame Street skit in which the muppet opens the closet door and everything falls out. I think I need to research this organization guru and get some tips. I find myself so much more relaxed when my life feels organized. Clutter and chaos push me right over the edge.
