Why is it in over a month I've started to blog at least half a dozen times, but still haven't posted anything? I don't know if It's that I can't get my thoughts organized enough to make sense to anyone; or that too much has happened and I don't know where to start. I'm thinking it's that last one. So I'll start by making a list of the things that have changed.
1. We swapped the girls rooms. Kaylee has the smaller room now, and Julie moved into her old room. This allows Kaylee to get better sleep because we aren't always having to walk through her room to get to the other kids rooms. It also gives Julie more space for all her things.
2. We cleaned out the office moved Jon into the hallways upstairs in front of the window and the space that was the office is now our room. Crazy, I know, for anyone that had seen that room we had a lot of stuff to figure out what to do with.
3. The room that was our old room is now a spare room. Mariah would like to call it her room, but I can't call it that if she doesn't start coming around a whole lot more.
Just about every room in the house has been gone through, cleaned out, and organized. There are a few rooms left to tackle, the pantry (we have a lot of food we don't eat since going vegan that needs to be thrown out), and the utility room. I don't even want to think about cleaning out that space. Though it will be easier then cleaning out the office, and our bedroom, it still isn't going to be any fun.
Since making all these changes I've had more motivation to keep the house picked up, the dishes done, and the counters cleaned off. I still have days where I feel like doing nothing, but they aren't as frequent. I think I needed the change. What motivated the change makes me sad to think about still, but everything happens for a reason. I also think that things worked out just how they were supposed to for now, and time will tell if that changes.
This September when I start school again I'm going to get with an academic advisor to determine what I would need to get my associates degree. Then I'm contemplating taking a break from school. Taking care of a house and family is a fulltime job in itself and not having the stress of school on top of that is nice. Why get a degree when my biggest plans for it is a document frame?
I finally found what I think is the perfect cloth diaper system for us. Now all I have to do is get off my rear and sell off the stuff we don't use to be able to afford more of what we will use. For this my motivation level is low, but I guess if I get to wanting it bad enough I'll get the auctions up.
I can't think of anything else new that's really going on here. I'm getting tired of nursing the baby, but she's not ready to stop. I miss getting out without the kids and spending the one on one time with the hubby. I guess I'm just going to have to be patient a little longer. I know she'll wean when she's ready, but I'm kind of ready now.
I guess that's all for now. I'll try and be better about updating, but life is busy so I make no promises.
