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.

Random Thoughts

I sometimes wonder where to draw the line in this whole blogging thing.  I could make us look like the "perfect" family or I could deal with all of our disappointment and make everybody think that we quite possible have the worse life ever.  Or maybe there is a middle ground somewhere that I have yet to find in this blog.  Today was a rough day.  Don't get me wrong I am so excited that everybody around me is having babies.  But for some reason today I was caught up in the losses all over again.  I am wondering when it stops.  Maybe it never does.  Maybe it will be a life time of wondering what if I would have gone full term.  Several people have asked when (or if) we are going to have another baby.  I am not sure.  Sometimes that answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But one thing is for certain it isn't right now.  Really I don't need to have a ton of kids to fill some void.  I love my two kids and if that is all ...

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...

Heavy Week

This week has been so heavy. I had a client pass away and I never got the closure I needed/wanted. Client was not my typical client. He was different and sassy and I looked forward to seeing him every week. Then we went to a presentation. When I tried to explain how dishonest the presenter was I felt ignored. We are pretty anti MLM anyway but not wanting to know is weird to me. There are big changes coming and I am not ready for all the changes. Might be good might be a diaster. Time will tell. Mom's surgery is scheduled in about four weeks. I feel as though she moved it for us. Which is for the best for everybody but still taking on guilt that is not mine to own. Listening to the news about the LDS church shooting/fire in Michigan has been so triggering. I hate that I feel all the all the feeings. How I can envision the people there and the screaming kids and .....on and on. I wonder what changes will come to the church now that prophet died. I hope ther...
