How much does that closet hold?

-

 Two days ago we were planning a trip across country. Today I was emptying the closet in the Master Bedroom. Why you ask? Because to take a trip across country I must have someone come and stay in my home to care for all the animals. That someone has 3 children and two of them are boys. All boy, boys. This means what one doesn't think of the other one does. Therefore I need a gun safe, beings we did not get the home I had in mind I need to make room in the one we did get.

It has been a week of rearranging and donating stuff. It may turn into two weeks of this. There is that much more to do! I am still a hoarder after all that burned some habits don't die easily. Mostly I am a procrastinator... that makes me a hoarder by second nature not first. 

You see I like to sew, therefore I buy fabric. Then the procrastinator takes over and says let's do that project later. Then another innocent trip to the fabric store to buy something... anything, results in more fabric coming home for a "wonderful project!", that I will do "someday" but not right now I am busy!

So the procrastinator wins and makes me a hoarder and I don't want to be a hoarder. Now I must decide what to do with all the "projects". As I write this the youngest comes in to complain she cannot see the television because of the stack of stuff. Guess I better get up and figure out what to do😙

The contents of this post are from early February. I was going to delete but thought more about it and decided to share. Sorry the pic's are sideways. As I sit at the table and look across to the counter in the middle of the room some call an Island, i bask in the silence that is now. Soon the island will be cluttered with items needed to make lunches and chaos will fill the silence as the house gets moving and kids get ready for school. There's only a few minutes until everyone else starts getting up. Today is hippotherapy for the youngest. The wind is howling right now so they may cancel it if it's too cold for the old horses they don't go out. It's too cold for this old horse! For 3 days we've been able to go outside without coats or sweaters or jackets. Yesterday the storm clouds brewed like they were going to dump an ocean in the yard I ran outside and grabbed seven batts of insulation and took them to the basement to save them from the rain. By

To be or not to be... that is NOT the question!

 It is the day before Thanksgiving and our plans have drastically changed. We will not be going to my daughter's home, and we will not be having turkey with her. I did manage to find a turkey and it looked smallish to me. Turns out it was only a pound smaller than the smallest one at the commissary. We will go for the bone density test this morning, and I will drop the dog off for groomer at my daughter's this morning on the way to the density test.  It might be a ham thanksgiving this year if anything at all. I am not complaining. I don't want to clean or cook as no one in this house even eats all the stuff. That was all yesterday and like everything in my life it changes hourly. We made it to all of our appointments and with the kids in tow! We did not get to any stores, because I do not do stores with kids if I do not have to. The dog got dropped off, the bone density test was done, the equipment for the sleep study got picked up, and 5 D tanks of oxygen. We even managed

Black Friday... White Snow

 It is the day after Thanksgiving and the ground is covered. Black Friday shopping is not something I normally do, so this is not an inconvenience for me. We went to my daughter's home for Thanksgiving and a much smaller group of friends and family were there. My son was not feeling well so we took him some leftovers on our way home. Because the meal was not here, I do not have to deal with the leftovers or the post meal drama of what to do with all the leftover food. But that means no snacking foods either... it is a no-win situation. I get to make fresh food though and that is a good thing. I just tried to go out and return a medical device and the roads were very icy. I decided it was unlike Dunkin' Donuts, not worth the trip. Not to waste getting as far as the General Store I did buy the kids some soda for movie night tonight. We already have lots of popcorn and still some candy available. Now to find a good movie. the dog is being lazy Instead of a good movie we found that
