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???!!!

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 "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
