Closet Clean-Up
Things are moving along...Kiely is getting laid off on the 25th of June, and his summer class starts that very same evening. We are giving our notice on our house and will be living with his parents for 2 1/2 months until school starts in the fall. As things would have it (or rather God), Kiely's company is still going to need him after they lay him off and so they are going to re-hire him as an independent contractor part time and be paying him almost 3x's what he make now!!! It really couldn't work out any more perfectly. Now, he'll have time for school, but still be making money...and for less time. Hip-hip hooray!!!
In the mean time I'm trying to totally downsize our "stuff" in as many ways as possible....and as much as I've tried to keep it that way, we have a LOT of stuff. And for some reason, when I get slightly overwhellmed, instead of cleaning the dining room (usually where my projects or odds-n-ends accumulate) or something else obviously disastrous, I will find myself deep in a closet reorganizing and cleaning that out instead! Truly, this has happened more than once or twice. Just last week I sorted through our whole upstairs closet that has baby clothes and such equipment in it. I boxed up more than half of it to pass on to my sister-in-law and made phone calls to arrange new homes for a few other items...all this while, not ten feet away from me sat a huge pile of the boys laundry that was 3 days overdue to be folded and put away. I sure felt better when I was done though and every so often when I'm walking by I open the closet door and sigh a VERY contented "sigh"!!!
There is just something about knowing the deep, unseen things are in order, even when the surface may not be : )
p.s. thanks to everyone for the info on switching my background...isn't it cute??
