"Nothing is too small to know, and nothing too big to attempt." Sir William Van Horne

Cleaning! My least favorite thing to do. While it is somewhat satisfying, it is a bit unnerving. How do I decide what to get rid of and what to keep. Now I am working on my play jewelry. I say play, because the only time it is ever used is when we play dress up for the Army. I can't wait until Michela has an opportunity to play dress up, so she can get some use of this stuff. Kiah's clothes were in a tuff box in the garage from his last trip home. I brought them upstairs and organized his side of the closet. PT's together, play clothes, all his shirts on hangers etc... This guy is the worst shopper on the planet, you can tell that he has lived on his own for about a year or more. He doesn't know what he has, so he has repurchased. MULTIPLE TIMES! 2 red shirts, (same shade of red) 4 black shirts -2 striped and 2plain, and then the various shades of brown, green and khaki! More khaki shorts that he can wear in a week, (which since they are here, I can guarantee he went and bought new ones)! MEN! I can't wait till he is home. Forrest's closet isn't much better, I went through his at the end of the school year, and him and Michela are exactly the same in that they wear the clothes that have been washed most recently... over and over. So I can either not do wash for a full week, so they can wear something different, or I can not stress about it and let people think that we only have enough money for 5 sets of clothing. Obviously I am not really all that concerned with what people think... therefore my children only wear 5 sets of clothing. At least I know they are clean! Me, I can get excited at the cleaning process. I found a pair of Capri's that I couldn't fit into last summer and they fit very nicely. I can't wait until they are too big. Although that brings me back to what will I do with the clothes that will be too big? I will have to talk to myself about that one and get back to you.
