Friday
Well this a.m. we found ourselves getting ready early and getting out of the house for a much needed field trip to a Train Museum in town. It was fun. We met one other family there and we got a history lesson for sure. It was cool, he talked and talked about being in the military and being in England. He told all sorts of stories about the Gold Spike and all sorts of wonderful History Lessons he told. We could have sat there for hours. The kids had all sorts of fun looking at all the older model trains, seeing currency from all over the world, a 1917 License Plate, one from Iraq as well and all the many wonderful things that we saw. Thanks Mr. Harold, we had such fun.
Then me and the boys left there and went and grabbed some lunch, and we went to our grandmothers house(their GREAT grandmother's house) and we ate and visited for a while, then left there and went to get some Draw Right Now books to complete our set we had at home. Thanks Grandma!
Then home and we got busy cleaning and purging. I had last Wednesday cleaned out a closet while dh was away on business, and with the hospital visit towards the last of the week and packing for this visit and knowing my mother was keeping the twins, and packing them as well, etc, I have put this "closet" sitting in my living room floor for over a week on a back burner. Such as Monday I was out of the house, Wednesday afternoon I was out of the house, and Thursday Night I was out of the house, not including Monday evening, and Wednesday Night church. So all in all with the weekend, and Sunday church and baseball, etc. I have had no Free time to work on this silly clutter fest. So finally today I decided (or rather since we are having company spend the weekend here with us....it was now or never!!!) to get this out. I took out 2 bags of trash, gave away 3 boxes of stuff and now feel I am on the road to recovery. Hoping now I can try and keep my house a little better. Like FLY and everyone says, You Can't organize clutter, you can only get rid of the clutter.
I hope this finds me at a better place in my life. I am tired of living in chaos. Ready to rise above the ashes (clutter) and be a better person! I promise to make baby steps to recovery.
thanks for letting me vent!
