508!

i'm here.

here i sit.

i'm typing.

while blinded by the sun.

i'm not complaining because it seems the sun is only here for a few hours each day lately.

by the time we get home from picking up Trevor the sun is already gone. :(

since i'm solar powered this kind of sucks.

i'm procrastinating by typing this post.

i'm cleaning the downstairs.

today we are getting more sheetrock and going to work on finishing this place.

i got rid of over 20 garbage bags of stuff... clothes mainly, and i feel GREAT!

tis the season for giving right?? who cares what you are giving, as long as it is nice and will help someone.

i gave 6 bags of clothes to Jill for her new niece.

i gave 2 bags of clothes to my MIL to mail to my BIL for his daughter.

i gave 4 or 5 bags of clothes and other baby stuff to Melissa for her son Leland.

i gave 6 bags to Dianna for her daughter and maybe her sister's baby.

i have some bags for Walter, my nephew, that i will give today to my SIL.

i have a bag of girl clothes to give to a lady at the school for her daughter.

and...

I...

STILL....


HAVE...



M * O * R* E

STUFF


to give away!

AGGGGGGGGGGG!!

where did all this stuff come from.

I only have three kids... how do I have so much clothes. plus they are only 5 & 3... it isn't like we have been collecting stuff for that long and I have gotten rid of stuff before this... this isn't the first time. i have given and sold a LOT of stuff.

point is that we are over loaded with clothes and toys and i always feel like i need to get more anyway... i have to get some control over myself... i rather take my kids to Disney or something than have 40+ bags of clothes to give away in another couple of years. not that i don't like clothing other children with my kids outgrown clothes... I LOVE to do that... I love to help out and make sure they get good use. But i think we are over doing it some where in the buying situation.

oh well.

i'm off to clean some more, i am going to be in a mad dash to see how much i can get done before i have to go get Trevor from school... which isn't very long.

have a great day

I'm Really Glad...

I'm really glad that I got some comments on my page. I know that there are a bunch of people who read my blog, but don't ever comment on the blog page, they send me private emails, or just tell me about things they read ~ which is totally fine, but I love to see that I asked for some feed back from the readers and got some! Thank you very much for that, and if there is anyone else that would like to comment please feel free to do so.
I really do this blog to have a way to get rid of some stress/anxiety and just to keep everyone informed and updated about our lives and what is going on around us, but it is nice to get some feed back once in a while about what I post. : )
Speaking of updates and all that... today is the day we get Lauren's biopsy results back. I have to call them at 9:00 AM. Which is soon! Then we can see what we are going to do next with her treatment or lack there of. She was on a few meds to see if we could get things cleared up... and although at first they showed great hope... they didn't work. She was on Cephalexin ~ antibiotic for 7 days 1/2 tsp twice a day & Prednisolone ~steroid for 9 days ~ YUCK. And, she continues to be on Zyrtec 1/2 tsp every morning and then Hydroxyzine 1/2 tsp every night. A lot of medication for a little girl. : ( I feel horrible having to pump her full of meds, but at the same time I want to make her better. I want this problem to have an end and be fixed for her. I'm sick of it and at the same time, I'm sure she has had enough too. :(
Anyway... I guess this is all for now... I'm going to go make some breakfast and call the doctors office to see what is going on. I'll be back in a little while, crocodile!! : )
