to my life?? We have so much to do to get ready to move into the RV. I don't even want to think about it let alone do any of it.

Everything we own really (except what will fit in the RV, which is pretty much necessities only) needs to be gone through and either sold, trashed or set on fire lol. This is going to suck because for one I am a pack rat. I still have a few boxes of things that used to hang on my bulletin board when I was in Jr high. I never look at any of it but just the fact that those things are like 25-30 years old keeps me clinging to them.

We have things we haven't seen in years. When I do go through boxes it is like Christmas all over again. I am like "Wow, how cool, I remember that!!" In which case I again just can't throw it away *sigh*.

Also I am very bad with clutter in that I get overwhelmed with it and have no idea where to start. I just take one look at it and make up some excuse why I should be on the computer or cleaning the toilet. Anything to not have to deal with all the things I need to do between now and the 23rd of May. My dream would be to grab what we needed and then set the house on fire. Out of sight, out of mind. If I don't see it I am not going to miss it.

Just imagine taking a 4 bedroom house with a family of 5 living in it and scaling it down to the size of a studio apartment. It reminds me of the George Carling routine he used to do about "stuff". If you have never heard it before it is really funny and you can find it on Youtube.

If anyone wants to volunteer to help I'll provide the beer and pizza!!

I got the opportunity to try the Aloe and Green Tea all purpose cleaner from the J.R. Watkins Natural Home Care line of products. I was very impressed with this product.



I live with 3 boys and my husband so to say the counters anywhere in my house are usually dirty is an understatement. J.R Watkins all purpose cleaner was simply wonderful. It has a nice smell and got my counter tops very clean. I swear it got off grease, grime and stuck on food and stuff better then my usual cleaner ever did. And because it is a all natural product I know it is safe for me and my family.

Not just to my kids but to everyone around here. I live with my younger sister and I know she has a full time job and my kids do make 99% of the mess and I do stay at home all day. But it would be nice to get a thank you, or a "cool, you cleaned!"

eh, what the hell. I had to do it when this was my house so why not continue with it. However when I cook and everyone eats, it is still me that has to clean up the mess.

And ya know what?? I HATE CLEANING!! With a passion no less. Not that anyone adores it but I really despise it with all my being.

Isn't it funny that kids are never too tired to make a mess, but when you ask them to pick it up, that is the response you get.

So, if they are that tired maybe they should take a nap. Right, they are never THAT tired.

I have been sick for two days now. I feel like I am going to die (you know what I mean) and you would think the kids would be kind and help me out a bit.... not! I swear they use it to their advantage to get away with more.

Did I mention I hate being sick? I haven't even been on the computer hardly at all today. (imagine that!) My head is so fuzzy, I can barely think. I need 24hrs of completely uninterrupted sleep. Wishful thinking there too.

I better get my butt in gear if I plan to participate in Scrapbook Saturday tomorrow.
