WTF
Sooo, I make a pact with myself to spend more time giving in to my feelings of restlessness when it comes to writing...and than I donāt write for four day?Ā Go figure!
It could be because our timeline got moved up.
What timeline you ask?
Well, Iāll tell ya,Ā Hayden is a Freshman this year, Dean is in fifth grade-so heāll start middle school next year, and Roy works about 60 miles from home. NOT horrible, until you factor in rush hour traffic.Ā Sometimes, Roy gets into the office in an hour an a half, sometimes it take twice that-my goal was to move the summer before Haydenās junior year.Ā That would give him two years at a new high school, Dean would have two years at the middle school before moving into HS, but my husband is beat.Ā With the new position he accepted, heās going in almost daily-and I know itās hard on him.Ā So, weāre looking to move in just a few months!
Ugh, I said it out loud
Weāve been here so long, I forgot why I dislike the process.Ā Getting the house ready, finding a new house...and than thereās THE PURGE.
I decided to start small, something no one could have any say over-my closet.Ā I listed items on ebay, I put aside items for a yard sale-and felt accomplished until I looked at my closet.Ā Pretty sure it looks no different.Ā When did I accumulate so much stuff?Ā Ā
To be fair, Royās side of the closet looks similar.Ā I tell the man he needs to purge and he gives me two t-shirts-out of the 50 he owns-though he only wears about 10.Ā He has a t-shirt that he wears constantly (I wash it, he wears it-vicious cycle) that I can see through-I kid you not.Ā It didnāt start out like that, he just wears it constantly!Ā To boot-it says Grooveshark (does anyone even remember what that is?) and he got it for free!Ā Not that thereās anything wrong with promotional swag-I love my pens, but when itās starting to disintegrate, maybe itās time to move on?
Now, for my case I realized I have way to many shirts with goofy sayings.Ā Some I bought for the specific purpose of basketball games-I have a few with sayings, or Haydenās number, etc.Ā But most say ridiculous things like,Ā āMore Tacos please.āĀ Iām not sure why I need three shirts that say that-especially when all are just different shades of grey.Ā Ā
And youād think when the shirts hold no real sentimental value it would be easy to let go of-apparently, it is not.Ā You never know when you might find yourself in desperate need of tacos and maybe youāve lost your voice?Ā I donāt know...
And letās not even get in to my legging collection.Ā Now, in the winter I do wear them-daily for the most part.Ā I wear tunics and leggings, or a sweater and leggings, etc.Ā Theyāre warm and cute-the more colorful the better!Ā But Iām short, so specific brands fit me best-so why do I have pair after pair that are too big?Ā
I think there was a time when I bought clothes to make myself happy-I was feeling out of sorts, sad-and when I worked through that-I was left with a packed closet.Ā And so, THE PURGE commenced.
I truly hope the kitchen isnāt like this-or youāll find me crying in the shower...
