Friday the dirt got roped off and tamped down real good. Tomorrow they are gonna dig footings and then later this week, pour concrete! I am excited ;) YES! I said it! I am excited ;). This is all taking shape!
Sooooooo... This past weekend mama went a little CRAY CRAY! I was just so overwhelmed by the mess that I made every one CLEAN! There is no reason for the inside of the house to be in disarray like the outside. Soooooo... I feel a little better! There is still so much MESS... and sooo much dust and dirt floating everywhere. But baby steps are good right?
My next step is to get RUTHLESS!!!! Now is the time to purge all the clutter and crap. There is so much superfluous things stuffed in drawers and cabinets. There is so much junk in closets. So now we get down to business and get rid of the junk! My kids are not gonna like me much! ;( I am trying to figure out if I should just clean out their rooms and closets and get rid of the stuff or if I should let them be responsible and a bit independent and do it themselves. I know I would get rid of a lot more than they would... And they probably wouldn't even miss half the stuff I'd get rid of, but... Then what do they learn from this process if I do it? Am I doing this for my ease or to teach them about choosing what is truly important and necessary?!!?!?
I'm gonna hop on my soap box here for a moment... I think kids learn that their parents will always clean up their messes when we come in and make their choices for them. We also give them someone to BLAME if they don't like the decisions we have made about what to keep or what to toss. But then again if we let them do it they keep way more than they should and there are tears and grieving "things"... Etc... Anyway, sermon over...
More info to come hopefully if the weather cooperates this week... Stay tuned...
