The Yard Sale is Finally Gone

Where did I go? Drowning in my junk. I didn't feel like I could post again until the yard sale was gone. Yes, it took this long. The momentum petered out, and I was drained for a time. Then we had holidays and school functions and one thing led to another.

I am all done with excuses now. I still have a lot of stuff to do! The same day we hauled the yard sale leftovers to Goodwill, my husband helped me in the shed. The kids were at Grandma's house, so we gave it a full day's work. Even though we hadn't really been out there since the yard sale, I went through all the toys once again and was able to throw out another contrator bag full. It was amazing. It is getting cleaner and cleaner.

And now I have a great big deadline. We are moving 1200 miles in June. I do not want to be able to fill a 53' semi-truck again like we did when we moved here 3 years ago. We have aquired even more stuff since that move, so I am on the fling flang flung mission! Even with 4 kids, a family just should not have that much STUFF to haul around. There is more to life than STUFF!!

Do I have any goals right now? Well, I do have to get the house ready to list. That requires painting the kitchen and upstairs hallway. I'm kind of low on my energy, but work has got to be done. Time to pull up the bootstraps I guess.

Moving can be overwhelming and therepeutic. I will have my emotional melt down before I am through, I'm sure of it. But I feel there cannot be joy without sorrow. I will focus on that, so as to numb the pain I am about to endure. I have 3 months. My husband is gone to start his new job, I am the lone entertainment and physical presence in the lives of my small children and I am pregnant. This is going to hurt, but will be very worth it when I am done.
