late night ramblings

First an AHA and YAY moment.  I spent the 2nd week of July re-organizing my filing system, getting rid of old files, and putting the current files into a system I can manage.  Tonight it was "tested" I needed two of my girls' immunization records for GS camp paperwork. Found both in 2 seconds flat!! I'm so proud/excited!!! It was soooo nice to see I needed them and not have that moment of panic wondering if I'd find them before 2am.

Having gotten the patio cleaned up I'm spending more time outside with the kids, YAY! That means we're all spending less time in front of the TV. AND  having oiled the piano and music cabinet I'm now inspired to clean off the desk and get it all purty too. My house WILL be clean, someday, SOON!  Housework has never been one of my golden points in life, I wasn't pushed to do ANY as a child, and married a packrat, whose father is a packrat (sorry dad), so there's always been piles and stacks.  I'm just tired of it. I want my home to be welcoming to anyone who gives the effort to come over and give their time to me.. now that I'm making it about that and not about doing it for Tim, the kids, my mother, pick a person...but I'm doing it for me, so *I* feel good about my home, it's not the burden it was.  Hope this motivation sticks!!!

got the two girls 98% packed, Beth has some clean laundry in my room, which I didn't realize until after Tim went to bed, so that has to be put in her bag in the am, along with both girls toothbrushes. At least the paperwork is all done!!! Now to get myself over the anxiety I'm feeling about letting Tori go to camp...she's thrilled, I'm thrilled for her. I'm just nervous about her being away from all of us (family) for 4 days! That's a long time. Beth did it, I did it, hopefully she'll love it as much as I did, and Beth has.

Ok, 6 am is going to come too darned early, I'm going to bed now.
