I'm not sure why I am writing. I think I have a lot on my mind. I don't have pictures to post, which I don't like. I'm a very visual person. I don't know how to begin, which seems to be a trend in my life. Hence, my new motto needs to be: "Just dig in and do it."
This week has been spring break. We've had some fun times! We went Easter dress shopping, met cousins Stephanie and Suzanne and the little ones for shopping, lunch, and playing at the park. We went to Ihop for breakfast as a family and then saw The Lorax. We have had lots of outside play time. There are lots of things we wanted to do, but haven't. We have wanted to kids to clean their rooms. Yeah, right. We bribe them, try to help them, leave it up to them...nada...nothin'. Sick of it. So sick of this mess all the time. I've come to the conclusion that we just have too much stuff. What's the point, seriously? There's stuff everywhere. Literally, everywhere. A lot of it is my stuff. Yes, it is. However, I am not the only offender. My husband and children leave trails around as well. So, we need to come together as a family and purge this house of all this stuff!!! Yeah, well, I will probably be the only one to do it, but it has to start somewhere, right?
Today has been a somewhat gray, tired day. It's the end of spring break. I don't have the energy to get on the kids' cases to get their rooms clean. They won't do it. They can't do it. They don't know where to start. Since this is Spring, a season of new beginnings, this will be a new beginning for our family. I want all the clutter out of the house or organized, fresh coats of paint, everything sparkling clean, and a simplified life.
Well, it's a nice thought...lol.

Right there with you! The house we are in is TINY! Half of what we own is in the garage. It has made me realize how much "stuff" we have that we don't need. The kids have so many toys they never play with. Time for a big garage sale!
