Our laptop is finally fixed. SO glad. I don't even know where to begin. Life has been pretty crazy. I didn't even get to finish posting all of our vacation pictures. I am going to have to sit down and get organized and decide on my next topic.
SMALL update:
I have started on my decluttering and reorganization. We had a very slow garage sale. Another one will take place in the fall so I can hopefully get rid of more stuff. The hardest is kids clothes. I have friends that want the girls stuff, but they are a ways off from the sizes I have to sell. We have officially sold ALL of our tiny baby stuff except the cribs and pack and play. I am trying to motivate myself to sell my Pottery Barn Kids baby bedding Yes, I am pretty sure the baby factory is closed....more on that in another post.
We finally got our carpets cleaned. For our 5 year wedding anniversary we bought grown up bedroom furniture and we are in the process of getting rid of our College furniture. This was a good thing because it forced me to downsize and get rid of clothing I do not wear. I just have to do my closet next.. UGH.
My money makeover is in the baby steps... or maybe the womb steps?... I have started making very small changes. No eating out during the work week unless I am invited by my awesome ex-coworkers that I miss OH SO VERY MUCH! :'''( (more on this during another post). I have really tried to account for where my money is going and tried to tell myself "no" when it comes to the girls clothing...it is really hard for me ... I LOVE and I am ADDICTED to shopping for the girls. Its just fun for me :) (again... this is another post). The next step is to pay off my one and only credit card which will hopefully happen by the end of the month. EXCITING! Then after that I will be focused on the only debt I have, student loans...YUUUUUCCCKKKK! When I lost my job I deferred them for 6 months and I must say... it has been nice not having that extra worry... and having summer fun money. But all fun comes to an end RIGHT?
I have a list of summer goals... I will share that in another post... Right now I need to find my second summer read. I am hoping for something inspirational but I need suggestions. Otherwise, I may read the Jaycee Dugard story... which... is more like reading the social history of a patient/ or individual I have on my case load... sad...but I have probably read similar stories to hers...minus the kidnapping.... Anyyy way.... I will be back again soon. .....
