a bad day!

we all have them don't we? ours started out really not so bad...everyone slept in a little. we had a late breakfast. kiddos cleaned their bedrooms, well, i might add, and played while i cleaned house.

for whatever reason cleaning my house today put me in a bad mood and i can't get out of it. now...to be honest i shouldn't call it a bad mood. maybe more of a "i've had it" kind of mood. i realized while i was cleaning that we have a lot of junk. just odd toys we have that i find around the house. stacks of things sitting around - hubby is saying amen to that! clutter - i'm not in to knick-knacks!

anyways - i want to gut it all and start over. i did talk the kids into sending a few more games to the garage sale closet. but i want to take a giant trash can and throw it out! i want to organize. i want to have money to buy all sorts of cute organization things and have fun! but alas....not in my near future.

i decided to get out of the house to get away from my mood. my dad wanted me to pick their green beans so off we went. it helped. alittle.

oh well - someday, i will take a trash bag and go through this house. probably when i'm alone, for a long time - sometime in the far far future!!!!!! for now - i'm okay again.

i am sooooo with you, sweet sister in law! i need to attack my basement in the WORST way. i can't wait til it's finished down there with closets and things like that. it would help so much. why does eating healthy and staying organized have to cost so much money???!!!

2021 word: rhythm

 as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change.  those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored.  i know my life needs to find some grounding again.  i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021.  no big plans. no vacations to look forward to.  several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work.  but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace.  there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set.  it freaks me out.  constrains me lead

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss of church community that grieves me deeply. late fall i started pondering thes
