ahhhh Saturday!

During the school year Saturday is the only day of week that we can have a leisurely morning. We all woke up early this morning, but well rested. Blonde rascal, the little chef, loves to help Daddy cook eggs.

That was the scene bright and early this morning.


I was determined to get some stuff done today that I had been putting off. So I told myself that I would not be doing this...

Sure, who wouldn't want to lay on the couch amongst the pillows and quilts? But today only princess Missy was afforded that luxury. Yes, Mamma got off her rump and down to business!


Things had gone somewhat haywire in our closet and I, for one, had just about had enough. Since we are all friends here, I will show you a dark, distant "before" picture of our closet...

Hey, don't judge!!! At least not until you let me see a picture of your closet!!!! But wait... look what I accomplished today!


And those are the bags going off to Goodwill. I purged and it feels soooo good! I won't show you hubs side of the closet...he is not into "purging" like I am. He is borderline being worse than a clothes hog female. His side of the closet is downright shameful! But gee isn't my side purdy?
I think we Americans are excessive to a flaw. Why do we need so many clothes? Don't you agree that there is only a handful of clothes in your closet that you actually wear? If we got rid of: everything that we had not worn in the past year, or what didn't fit well (and never will) or that color that looks bad, or the clothes we just really don't like but hang onto in case we "might" need them and of course that pair of pants that makes your butt look like the side of a barn... wouldn't our lives would be much simpler? We have too many choices that bog us down in our big messy closets! Simplify America, simplify! That is my suggestion for the day!
Then to end my day I put our old Nintendo 64 and some of my perfume collection on E-bay! Someone else can buy my excess and fill their house with it!!!
