My husband arrived last weekend in a 24ft. moving truck. The amount of crap is so overwhelming. I'm sure at some point I felt like I needed all these things. Now I want it all to go away. I was doing just fine with out it, probably would have only noticed a few missing things as my life progressed. That being said, I know my husband had an overwhelming job getting it all here. It wasn't easy. It's probably best he just brought it all, protecting himself from forgetting the one thing I may have needed or perhaps a meaningful keepsake. Now, we are faced with the task of finding a place for it all or getting rid of it. I was feeling somewhat peaceful and organized. The arrival of my husband and way too much stuff has thrown a bit of chaos into the mix. In between caring for the kids, taking them to activities, and homeschool, we are slowly making progress. All in good time I suppose. My best friend is visiting in two weeks. I could not be more excited. I just hope we have made some progress on the current disaster. There are boxes everywhere!!!
It's hard to fit it all in. My oldest is doing archery in 4-H, and archery lessons. The middles are still in swimming. We now have 8 chickens, a pig, and a goat. Two more goats will be arriving in 2 weeks. It has been raining a bit but we need to secure the chicken coop, top and bottom. Then we need to finalize the goat/pig area. They also need a shelter. We are busy but it's a good busy. It's more fulfilling, not as stressful. Next week, we are going to Portland to visit family, celebrate Halloween and my hubbys' bday. We all deserve a little down time. Family fun time. It's good to all be together. It feels right! Now, if we can just get rid of some of this stuff!
