Soooo, T- 1 month, until we are without a house to go back to should some kind of catastrophe occur. We are setting off on a great adventure, and right now all I see are piles of stuff we need to get rid of. My mind teeters between throw it all away, and you can't fill up landfills with all this useful stuff......but do people know how useless it really is? I mean we are going whitewater rafting, and to lion sanctuaries, and Harry Potter Land......This stuff is useless, it can't make you as happy as waking up and laughing with your kids, not hurried to get out the door to a job you don't even really love. So while I am not doing the environment a favor, maybe I am doing the world a favor if I trash it all......but alas my conscious won't let me. Those people don't want to wake up with no schedule and enjoy their kids laughing. Their zen comes from planting plants, and organizing pictures, and picking their outfits for tomorrow. So I must respect the zen of the rest of the world and pack like I mean it. I am hoping that I can get down to one corner of memorabilia, and let the rest go. Meanwhile my dresser is down to one drawer. It needs to go further, but it's progress. I don't think I have accomplished anything on my list this week, but I have attended my son's graduation, and taken my two older boys to dinner. I seem to be enjoying this family thing a little too much and not hunkering down and getting this STUFF out of my house.
