I guess I'm not too good at this blogging thing

Forgive me father for I have sinned it has been 9dys since my last blog...

I have been fighting a tooth infection for the past 4dys not fun at all. I went to the dentist & was told it will cost me $1,500 to fix them! That is my share, actual cost is $4,000! What a bargain!! Thank you dentist in Hawaii who screwed up my teeth!! 

On to other things....the group leader of my paranormal group has to take a break so I have been promoted to leader YAY! I now have to schedule & plan meetings for our group.  It should be interesting considering all the different personalities in our group. I have to say I am a little nervous about everyone looking to me for everything! However, it does give me a chance to maybe start some discussions on things in that area that I like.

So far my attempt at getting organized has not been working. I am overwhelmed by the amount of projects I want to do. Why do I have so much stuff, do I really need it all? Yes, of course I do!! One day I might want to learn to crochet a doily while skydiving, You never know!! I need that 50lb wax blob because some day it's going to be candles. The 20 bags of seashells are going in my candles & don't you even think of throwing out my Hawaiian sand. Someday that sand is going to be my zen garden!!

Ok, maybe I do hoard a few things. Think of it this way when the zombie apocalypse hits us in 2012 I will have plenty of things to keep me busy!!

I finally accomplished something

I started cleaning & organizing Wesley's room today or should I say yesterday considering it's 1am. It looks worse now then it did before I started, why does that always seem to happen? The good news is the house is still clean, I'm counting how many days it stays that way. 

There really isn't a whole lot going on around here. It's just the same boring thing day after day. I probably shouldn't complain as there usually is some crisis going on. You know the old saying "Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it". Wesley will be here tomorrow so I'm sure he will create some chaos around here. Liz has a retreat so she wont be coming. I think I will take him out somewhere so we can get out of the house. If I don't get out & do something soon I may lose my mind.....wait too late.

Where is my motivation?

Day 5 of the year & I have yet to accomplish anything. I looked at a bookcase in storage I'm going to use to organize Wesley's room. Does that count? I didn't resolve to lose weight but I lost 2lbs. The house is still mostly clean so I guess that's a good thing.

It is kind of hard to organize my bedroom when the hubby sleeps in it all day because he works graves. When he gets up at 8-8:30pm to go to work I usually don't feel like cleaning anything.  By then I'm ready to relax & watch tv or a movie or even go to bed myself.  I'm hoping I may get some things done this weekend(fingers crossed). Hmmm....a thought, what if I consider the hubby clutter & donate him? It would make it easier to clean the bedroom & if I donate all his crap with him I will have more space!! I know, not very nice but it was worth a thought.

So far this week has been pretty boring which is a good thing. BORING=NO DRAMA

A new year & I'm already late!

Imagine that it's already Jan 3rd & I haven't even started yet.  I'm hoping this year goes a lot smoother then last year. If I can make it through the year without any major traumatic events happening it will be better then last year by far. Last year we suffered the loss of Bean Feb 16th & the birth of Alexander June 3rd. It seems every time there is a significant loss there is a new beginning to go with it. I lost my little brother Sept 29, 2004 & Samantha was born July 24, 2005. Jonathan was born Feb 20, 2007 & I lost my good friend of many years Patricia April 24, 2007. The only loss that didn't bring anyone new was my grandma on July 30, 2009. At the rate things are going I won't have any relatives left soon. Well on to this year(crossing fingers).

The 1st day of the year was spent celebrating Ashley's 18th birthday. She had a few friends over & we all had a great time celebrating. I can't believe she is 18 now, She will be graduating this year in June, something to look forward to. Ashley wasn't supposed to live let alone turn 18. She was a very sick baby, born small & had a lot of problems. Then as if that wasn't enough she was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes on Jan. 24, 2005. We were once again very close to losing her. So being able to celebrate her turning 18 was a huge milestone. How do I feel about having 2 grown kids? Half of me is relieved & the other half wants them to be little kids again( I think that half is insane).

Jan 2nd was spent sleeping & lounging around recovering from the holidays & Ashley's birthday party. I needed the sleep badly, I was starting to see things that couldn't be real (like my house was actually clean, when did that happen?) 

Jan 3rd finally at the present. At 2am I awoke & realized I was hungry because I had slept most of the day before(one of the perks of having older kids). I made a sandwich & went back to bed to watch tv. I watched 3 of my taped episodes of Hoarders. Watching that show has given me inspiration for my goal this year. I want to get rid of all the crap I don't need & reclaim some space. My bedroom aka storage place for everything I don't want scattered around the house is starting to look like an episode of Hoarders. Don't worry it's safe I have made a path from the door to my bed. My only fear is one day I will grab something & an avalanche will start burying me in my own possessions. I will start carrying a white towel with me at all times so I can wave it from under the rubble & scream " I surrender!" There isn't anything on the agenda for tonight. The hubby goes back to work so I will finally have my quiet evenings back. HOORAY!
