Some Stuff to Read

 

 So, the hubby is out helping his aunt and family move today.  I am home with the kids.  I have the radio blaring in the living room and kitchen, and I am doing stuff.  Mostly I am doing laundry.  I had the boy get the clothes off of his closet floor and put them into a basket for me.  I need to get rid of about half of his clothes, because he is growing so fast, but I need to see them all to know what is too small.  So this is a good thing.  I am throwing away all of their underwear that is too small, so we don’t have those days where they wear underwear that doesn’t fit.  I am throwing out socks that are too small or don’t have a match!  This is a hard thing for a certified Pack Rat to do, you know.  We want to hold on to everything just in case it can be used at a later date.  I am trying to look at things like, “Are we going to use this again?  If the house burned to the ground, is this something I would want to replace?  If not, toss it out!”

I need to use that theory on most of the house.  There are papers and clutter in every corner.

And the girl keeps doing drawings and rolling them up like a diploma and taping them that way, tubular, and keeping them!  That takes up lots of space.  And I can’t even see her artwork that way!  Silly girl!

My neck is still bothering me.  I really need to go see my massage girl, but I can’t find her business card!

I need to clean the house to a satisfactory condition, so that I can scrapbook without guilt.

 

Currently, I have approximately $40 to my name in the form of cash and checking account.  I am trying to decide how to spend it best.  I will get more cash on Monday night when I go to work for a couple of hours.  Maybe from $10 – 20.  I want to get $20 worth of a back and neck massage from the massage girl I know.  The rest might be spent on grocery items.  You know, since I gave up my credit cards due to my  vast debt, I now do without them.  It is hard to cope.

 

I wonder if the husband will be home in time for dinner tonight?  I wonder what he will want if anything.  You know how when you work hard, and get all sweaty, you don’t have much of an appetite.  I guess I’ll just wait and see what happens.  This is very exciting stuff to read, I know.

 

The girl played outside for a while today.  She made “dinner” for me.  I came outside and she had a “plate” (an upside down frisbee) with dinner, looked like a salad.  It had grass, leaves, and dry grass clippings, and weeds.  MMmmm.  Very tasty!
