Purging

So we are in the middle of a purge. A house purge, that is. George and I went from two households to one and never really sorted and threw out stuff. Well, 7 years later, that's what we're doing. When we moved from the condo to this house, the movers must've thought, 'piece of cake'. But when they showed up we had 100 boxes and probably enough furniture for a 4 bedroom house. Needless to say, we were able to furnish each room in our new home. Well, the place is getting cluttered. Actually, it's been cluttered forever. My office is just a storage area and the back room is not much better.

George decided we needed to have a yard sale. Well, I just gave 5 bags of clothes to the veteran's group, I didn't have anything left to sell. Ummm...I was wrong. I've been going through each room and I'm shocked with how much is stored and NEVER used. Out it goes! Our sale is this Saturday. I need to do more purging! :-)

I know I'm a Mom...

I wrote my first "sick" note last week. :D "Dear Mrs. J, Rachel was absent from school on Monday because she had a fever. Mrs. C."

First Day of School

My baby has started Kindergarten! There were a few tears. We had it all planned out where I wouldn't take her on the first day. Ummm...we should have stuck to the plan. We got there and Rachel jumped into line, but I didn't feel comfortable leaving right then, because there were still a ton of parents milling around. And Rachel started crying again. We ended up ushering her last into the classroom and the teacher took her by the hand. George and I jetted out of there and tried to figure how we could homeschool. :) Although, Rachel didn't say she *loved* school, she did say she liked it. Yeah!
