well, it's monday. i am not feeling motivated at all, but since i told you that i was going to do this- i am planning on hitting the drawers in the kitchen today. maybe if i get rolling i will clean all the cupboards...

since we are moving in june, i want to have the house *clean* so we can pack. i want to make the 3 piles from that show... what is the name of that show?? throw away, keep, sell. we will be having our moving sale sometime in may.

and i want to open my mind up, and be ready for the NEW! new thoughts, new plans, and lots of light... that means the piles of stuff has to go.

i think when we hold onto things, it never allows new things to come into our lives. physically, spiritually and mentally.

i will post later this evening when i am done...

I got started a day early-actually by getting my ironing done and going through my baby things to share with some mama's.

Can that count for today. I have been up since 3 a.m. with Olivia and also have a music practice this evening. I could really use a nap.

I am glad we can do this together and I hope we can grow from each other as well.

Amity,
We might be moving in June as well to a bigger house on some acreage. It is an old house and needs work, but my large family is packed into a small 2 bedroom house so we are rather excited aobut this new opportunity.
A friend of ours bought it and asked us to move into it and fix it up and we can live rent free. (cool, huh)
I guess we will rent our house out during that year and we will see where this path leads us.
ANYWAYS my point in bringing this up is I am hoping we may help each other with this moving thing as well.
I would like to get as much work done now so it will be easier later. It is alot of work to move.

A day before my Mom arrived, to stay with us, I hauled out 2 garbage bags full of plastic, missing pieces and such toys, from my ds's room...:)

My teen dd is working on de-cluttering her room now after she saw how nice her brother's room looked.

It felt good doing it too :)

well...

i didn't get to much yesterday. i did something small- my computer area.

right now, i am going to head to the kitchen, put on some hall and oates, and boogie while i clean things out. i have a solid 1.5 hours before i have to get the munchkins...

ugh. why in the world does this seem sooooo difficult. i just have no motivation at all.
