So many things are happening right now, and since last time I posted on my blog.
I'll go backwards:
I am decluttering my life right now. Anything that doesn't need to be here, is on it's way to being gone. Some of it is already burned. Yes, I went through all my old schoolwork from 1991 and up! (oh my gawd) There is so much that I'm probably still going to be burning it till the end of winter. It's handy like that. lol.
I remembered how soul crushing school was for me. How my teacher would grade everything with this all purpose -- poor, ok, good, very good, and excellent -- He even graded our journals! and artwork with these labels. I really had issues with this teacher. I had him for two years (gr. 6 &7) and the first year was fine, but the second year, I rebelled. We were doing the same freaking activities that we had done in grade 6 (like the 'evolution of man' project) I won't go into the details of my vandetta against mr.nick el but let's just say that I don't think he will *ever* forget me. Man, I had issues. lol.
So yeah, I'm getting a lot of things done these days. I still have to get back to crafting, but I'm working on ultra-organizing the space right now too, so it seems like it's bringing a breath of fresh air into the room. I've joined a decluttering group on the forum to keep me going. It's so nice to hear of everyones stories of getting all their stuff purged and cleansed. It's a healing time. Time to begin anew. 2009.
Haeven's Birthday and Christmas/Solstice happened:
It didn't turn out great for my sweet girl :( It was really snowing on that day so only two kids showed up (I had invited 5-6 families) and other stuff happened that I don't really want to go into. I tried to make it a good birthday for her though, like I do every year.
Christmas/Solstice was OK, but we didn't have any family to spend it with. We ended up going to our friends Diana and Isabella's house for X-mas night. The girls got to watch The Little Mermaid and mommy got to have a drinking buddy. I needed it on this x-mas.
2009 will be a better year for us.
