end of another week... 9-24-2010

Elizabeth birthday girl 

cj birthday boy

on the road...again...

another week slipped past... oldest son hurt at work... blew up his knee... will have to see an orthopedic surg... his birthday was Monday and grand baby Elizabeth's was Thursday... got to spend quality time with them both... am trying to pack to prepare for our winter south... so now down to decision time... it is beginning to chill up here but still in the 90s there so have to pack warm and cool for down there... sweetie wants to pack some tools and such to take also... and also must make sure all is on target here 'cause youngest son is staying here... life is full of decisions... i just have to remember that "every decision I make is a choice between an grievance and a miracle!" (that statement is on my fridge)... so here I go into the decision making world... wish me luck and send prayers after me...

end of this week... 9/17/2010

ending a week... pulled my knee again... slows all my plans down... but must keep on progressing...
packed clowns away this morning... am going to try to pack other things that are not needed right now and decide if I need them or not... if I do not dig in the box for the next 6 months then I must not need it very bad... the only exception is emotionally important items... I need to remember I cannot be emotionally attached to EVERYTHING  that comes my way...
I must limit myself... this is easier said than done... I have been trying to limit myself to reference books lately... the kind that could be helpful if for some reason I could not look something up on the puter!!!
I must also develop a preferred clothing style and begin to limit myself there... BIG problem is there what I want to wear is neither "in style" nor "attractive"... it is just comfortable... so it is also embarrassing to my children and grandchildren... hahaha!!

let's all do the simplicity shuffle...

today I will practice the simplicity shuffle...
pick up... decide... store/throw out... pick up... decide... store/throw out...
that sounds simple enough... right?
so why do I often fall over myself doing this? How hard can it be to "decide"...
none of these things are life altering decisions... keep this widget or not?
my house is overflowing with widgets, thingamajigs and such... I need to see clear spaces and special items on display... gotta get to work!!

fall beginning...

fall is beginning...

or so they say...

I am not through with summer yet! I had a wonderful summer playing with babies... at the beach, playground, river, and even in the living room...

I know the snow is on it's way and my bones will not tolerate it... so I will have to escape to Texas "south for the winter" snowbirds... How do I survive and even breathe so far from my sons and grandbabies... Sometimes it is more than I can do... But I intend to haunt these pics and hang on tight to memories to get me through to the next time I can see those wonderful faces and feel those young arms wrapped around me once more...
