Where IS my summer going?

Here we are- July 1st and I feel like I've not been given the summer off.... due to financial reasons I worked my Spring Break, I've subbed my prep, I took extra training days for pay... and now that summer is here- I still feel like the days are flying by but Im not unwinding.

Not fun.

I am the type of person that GOES, GOES, GOES and doesnt know how to slow down; no seriously, it is true. I dont know how to S L O W D O W N......  

So I decided that even though I havent had 2 weeks to sleep in and be incredibly lazy, I would begin my dream of REALLY, TRUELY, NO KIDDING AROUND, ORGANIZE MY HOUSE like I say I always want to- and I found a SUPER SITE to go to!

I started today- since I am frustrated at my knee, which I think I might need surgery again... (this will be #3) I have had 2 meniscus surgeries already and will see the doctor soon to tell me what is wrong.
So...I started my Kitchen Organizing today and wanted to show some "Before" and "After" shots.

Let me know what you think!
PS- Great to see you again! :)

Forgot to take a pic "Before"

Full of plasticware that was strewn about the drawer. Also added the awesome drawer lining (from Costco: under $20.00 for a huge roll)

Now, I do have a bunch of "stuffs" on my island, just waiting to find a home...but it WONT BE back in my kitchen. If I hadnt used it within the past year, its OUTTA HERE!

Im only half way through the kitchen, and realistically it can take you a week or more to do, but Im chomping at the bit to get "something" productive done and I might be working a little faster than most.

No worries- if you join me- take as long as you need- but send me pics! :)
