Decluttering for July

So for the month of July I am decluttering one area a day I really don't have the time to do it one whole section of the house the way the group organizer suggests but I am getting rid of one of stuff per day which is freeing.  I believe that every thing in our home either gives us energy or takes away energy.  By getting rid stuff we don't need we are allowing more positive energy to enter the home. I am wondering if I can do this every month.  At least until the spring when I am hoping to get the house on the market.  Part of the reason for my motivation for decluttering although I have always "tried" to do it is I started helping my mom  clean and get her house ready to sale.  30 years worth of stuff.  I don't want my kids (or spouse) to have to go through my stuff like we did when Lee's mom died.

We spent several hours helping my mom yesterday.  Jake has taken on the project of taking all the wall paper off the walls.  Then we will be painting and the never ending job of  getting rid of stuff.  She still isn't sure she is going to put it on the market but she still needs some changes done.

Tennis canceled today because Meridian and Boise got an amazing rainstorm that totally passed over us.  I was disappointed in the lack of rain we got and the boys were disappointed that we didn't get to play at the park and splash pad today.   I registered the kids for a triathlon for the 18th.  Lee reminded me not to get too many pictures because I would have the little boys without him. :)

Eight days until the bike trip and I am gone this weekend and I work three nights next week.   So chaos for sure on Thursday.  I know it is only ten days but it is really overwhelming to me.  We have some fun things planned and I work the last two days Lee is gone which is good and bad.

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

It has been a week

Here is how the week went Monday: OUr 25th anniversary. I was sick. We went and tried a Cuban restrant not as good as the food we had in Miami but it was good. We love trying new local places. It ended in tears. I won't go into all the details but I am relaizing that this is not the marriage I want. I am open about what I need and we will go from there. Luke started wrestling. Tuesday: End of the year banquent for Luke and Andrew. Luke recevied the "Most Improved" Awared. Here is the thing about that. His coach talked about how during summer practice he wouldn't even run 100 yeards. He would just stop. At some point after the first meet it clicked and he just ran and did what he needed to do. He went up adn accepted the award with such confidence. Wednesday: Both boys had activities. Andrew had stayed home from school due to not felling wel. My guess is he just needed a rest. He was feeling up for going and making pizzas at the Bishop's hous...
