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
