dresser problems

We have dresser problems --- as in many of our dressers are falling apart. JJ's dresser has been super glued but still is in bad shape. Thankfully, my MIL loves to shop. She is the ultimate bargain hunter. She will scour the thrift shops and she enjoys stopping in frequently just to see if there is any good stuff today. So we asked her to hunt for us. I just don't have the time to stop in that often to see if there is a dresser available. And thrift shops are hit or miss.

Well, she found one and is bringing it to us tomorrow. We can't wait to see it. She says it is in fabulous condition. Only needs to be wiped down and we can use it. (No refinishing.)

We have spent the afternoon and evening doing through clothes. Throwing out stuff that is spotted and torn. Boxing up stuff that is too small for the oldest - saving it for the next two. It was just a major task as I have not done it at all recently. Very big job.

Now we are trying to get the pack rat (that would be my middle child) to go through his stuff on his desk - so his desk can actually be used. Right now it is a storage area.

He is not happy I took this picture but here is his desk. Can you even see the top of it??? Needs help, doesn't it. The problem he has is that he has packed so many "treasures" into all his drawers and on his shelves that nothing else will fit. He needs to weed out some of his 'treasures' and let me tell you - that is very hard for a pack rat!! Hopefully, we will be able to post the 'we made progress' picture!

LOL. We have a few packrats here as well.

Yes he is quite a packrat!! Did you notice that there has not been an updated photo yet!! He was gone at camp and then it took him a day or two to get it cleaned. It is not better and I should take the photo quick before he finds more treasures to pack away on his desk, in his desk, around his desk, etc.
