1. Out With the Old & In With the New... - I've been cleaning out drawers, closets, cabinets, etc. I don't like to clean but I LOVE to organize. I have sold books, electronics, swimsuits, etc on Ebay, taken things to consignment that didn't sell on Ebay and given away things. Been shredding things in my office as well. I am ready for simplicity which means no clutter, nothing in the way that we don't need, use, or cherish. I am finding that less clutter means less stress - which in turn means more time for things that matter. Baking with the girls, reading a good book, sewing something fun, playing games or making plans.
2. Summer's Ending & School's Beginning - I guess this should read that summer BREAK is ending because summer is certainly NOT over in Mississippi. It's cruel that our children start school in early August - I just wish the Department of Education would understand that and let them start after Labor Day. I'd much rather they start late and stay in school until June versus the way it is now. It's crazy!!! That probably means that the person making the decision has some sort of agenda or strange reason for it being this way in Mississippi. In my opinion, that person should have to get on the bus and play on the playground in the heat every day for an hour......then go back inside and be expected to do good schoolwork :-)
Feels Like I'm Starting Over - once again I need a babysitter. Chloe is on the bowling team at her school which means practices and meets 2-3 days a week. I need a babysitter from 2-5 every afternoon--EVERY day after school without fail. If you know of anyone - teenager or not - who is trustworthy and responsible that would like to make some money while working part time keeping my two sweet girls, please email me at mollymobo@gmail.com. Thanks.
