Wow what a week

This has been a crazy few days.  Decided to clean out garage room so we can store the boxes that are now in the formal living room.  So all the craft supplies and heat press went into Emily's vacant room.  All the signs, ribbons and rolls of mesh are neatly sorted and stored in the closet.  Heat press is set up and wreath making supplies are ready to be used...YEA!!!!!  Friday comes and Jenny and Jerry's landlord comes by to fix a leaky faucet and also unannounced brings someone to look at buying the house they are in.  SURPRISE    They were shocked.  Monday comes and they find out the lady has bought their house and they have until the end of the month to vacate.  They were set to sign their lease to renew.  SO that brings us to now....the "vacant room" that holds all my craft supplies and Jim's makeshift office.  Moved the "office" today and cleaned the formal dining room (that's where his desk and computer went).  Now to start finding places for the craft supplies and music equipment stored in the closet.  We will get them settled in here before the end of the month.

Took a huge load of clothes to Goodwill today.  Purge, Purge, Purge.  How did we accumulate so much stuff????  Life is never dull.  But I will say that I feel so blessed for these to be our problems.  Moving the overabundance of crap out of the way so we are able to give our kids a roof over their heads when they need it.  God has blessed us.

Busy Days

Yesterday was fun.  Spent most of day in Orange Park with Emily.  Had a blast shopping in the new fall decorating aisles.  Hit up every craft and home decor store we could find.  Of course we spent too much but you only live once.

Started gathering all my crafts supplies and trying to sort them and put in one room instead of scattered all over the house.  Lots of useless stuff that can go to yard sale, but as I came across others, the ideas started coming left and right.  But that will have to wait for another day.  Have some small stacks to finish sorting, then it's on to another category for the same process.

Another week gone by...

Last week seemed to be the week of Grandchildren.  Actually saw JR a few times.  He and Logan spent the night with me Wednesday night.  Friday,went to Jon's to watch all three kids while he went to an appt.   Saturday was Miss Vi's 2nd birthday party.    Jim was home for the weekend.  Bless his heart, he had to work on my computer and replace parts on it all weekend.  Finally up and running now.  New hard drive so now I have to transfer everything I want to keep.  Long, boring, tedious chore. 

Rachel came in tonight and announced she is moving out again...took her clothes and left...so, I started rearranging things to begin the great purge and pack.  I have approx 30 boxes that I had already packed about 6 or so months ago.  I am now going to begin re-opening those boxes and only keeping what I truly want.  So far, I haven't really missed anything so I can see a huge yard sale and some ebay in my near future.
