Nothing to do?

Posted on Saturday, May 3, 2008 at 09:39

I can't believe it.  It is Saturday morning and I have nowhere to go and nothing to do.  It feels SOOOOOO good!  No baseball games to run to, no church events to lead or attend .....nothing.   The only thing on my list of to do's today is to pick up my daughter from her Girl Scout retreat.  I dropped her off last night and got asked to lead songs and games for about an hour.  With nothing prepared I did my best.  We sang some songs, played telephone, duck duck goose, hot potato, and another handslapping game that I can't spell.  I stayed and watched her play a couple of relay games with another troop and then I was off.  I came home said goodnight to my boys and spent some snuggle time with the hubby,  

I got the kids closets all cleaned out this week and have a huge black garbage bag full of clothes to bring to church tomorrow.  Things they have out grown of and things they just don't need.  I mean really,  how many t-shirts does one really need???  I try to keep fourteen outfits and no more than that.  Less is definately more.  After four of us and a dog living in 700 square feet with NO storage space, I have become addicted to purging things and getting rid of things that aren't used often.   I lived with clutter for so long that I now can't stand it.  Unfortunately, I have more clutter than I would like to have, simply because I have not had the time to declutter certain areas.   Maybe seeing I have no where to go I'll clean my closet out and pack away all my sweaters and winter wear.   Then I'm going to spend some QT with my boys while thier sister is away.  Hmmm what fun thing can we do????  I have to think about it while I'm doing my closet.  Till next time.......

Hello Connie, I saw a post where you talked about teens coming close to their family in that stage and wanting to be around them. Just wanted to come intro agreement with you on that. Father may Connie and all her children during the teen age stage cling to their love and relationship even greater during that time. May they find comfort and giving with each other even more for they need security and saftely that only family surrounds you in. Although give them space to create and know the plans you have for them until completion. In Jesus' Holy Name! lovingly, rilda *U*
