In addition to getting my classroom ready, I have been organizing and rearranging the house... Sort of a "Feng-Shui". ha! I'm beginning to think that Project CLEAN around the Magers casa is taking on a life of it's own... Just when I think I have finished cleaning, I start to find more things that I think I can purge. Forget the fact that I've over-purged already and accidentally threw away my 2009 Tax Return (thank goodness the CPA was able to email me a second copy - whew!) But I keep thinking - do we really need all this stuff?

My last month power bill paid for the next 4 years of this guys power expenses.

I think it would feel like being on vacation all the time because all you have is your clothes and a few momentos, just the same as when you check into a hotel. Something to think about...
**These pictures are of a larger TINY HOUSE... I'm being realistic - John and I might need a little more than 89 square feet. We might go insane in 89 square feet.
