Day 78 through Day 84

Wow!  Another week over!  This year is flying by!  I wish that spring would get here though.  We are suppose to get a snow storm today with a possiblity of a foot of snow.  I don't know if I should wish for it not to happen or want it to so I could stay home and enjoy it.  Either way, we are in for the day and have heard from our one son who already has three inches on the ground at his home.
This week involved me throwing out some of my favorite glasses (a winter scene), some other glasses, Tupperware, St. Patrick's Day window clings, cassette tapes, clothes, and some more out dated food items.  I really think I am getting good at this whole thing.

Day 70 through Day 77

I can't believe that it has been a week since I wrote in this blog!  And what a week it has been!  Our daughter-in-law's grandfather passed away in another state and my son and her had to fly down.  They decided not to take the children because they are so small, wouldn't understand what was going on, and the expense of flying them would be too great.  So I watched the three youngest the rest of the week, got the other one after his last day of school on Friday, and left for the weekend to visit our other son and his family in their new home.  Another one of our sons and his family plus one of our daughters and her husband met us there.  We had to take down some trees.  That in itself was an ordeal.  We avoided a couple of near disasters and my husband took a nasty tumble into a trailer hitch and hurt his chest pretty bad.  But we came out with all fingers attached and lots of memories.
The grandchildren played very well together.  There were nine under the age of nine there.  We had an Easter egg hunt today, inspite of the cold.  At least we weren't at our other daughter's where they were snowed in.
In spite of all of the happenings at our home, I still threw away some items.  I went through some more of my containers, old catalogs and magazines, old make up, got rid of some more nick nacks, and old papers.  Things are getting better on day seventy - seven and I am looking forward to the next couple of hundred!

Day 64 through Day 69

Big Weekend!  The Party Barn was full!  We had so much fun!  One of the three year olds was using a stick of wood for a sword and was storing it in the back of his pants.  He really looked so funny.
It was also a big week for throw aways.  I threw out patterns (yes girls, I said patterns), dishes, nick nacks, more cassette tapes, out dated food, and old school supplies.  Great week!

Day 59 through Day 63

What a weekend!  Saturday I had the pleasure of spending the day with seven of the grandchildren and Sunday there were six here, all of them spent the night and didn't get up much before dawn.  We had such fun.  I love watching them spend the time with each other.
Even with all of this going on, I managed to get rid of craft items (OH MY GOODNESS, NO!!!), more clothes, and I even lost two pounds.  I also got rid of paper (tablets) and Elmer's glue!
