Well the holidays are over and the venting did help some but it still did not make all of the clutter go away.  I have accumulated 7 years of stuff in this trailer and I am just a pack rat by nature I guess, because even though I threw away 4 bags of trash and 3 boxes of things went to good will and a garbage bag of clothes, I still do not have any room!!!! My GOD where did all this stuff come from?  I pick things up look at and think will you use it? Do you need it? How long has it been since you used it last? Then all it takes is that little voice in my head that SAYS..... You know if you throw that away you will need it tomorrow! and of course it goes back in the drawer it came from....You know what is really bad though is that Bill is exactly the same way, so there  it goes to show we have clutter 2 fold. I need a volunteer to come in and declutter for me, someone who will ask questions after they have gotten rid of the stuff.

MMM, maybe I should start up my own business do that, if it ain't mine I have no probelm throwing it out. Something to think about.

Oh and on another subject all together.... I am seriously thinking about starting up a Salt water aquarium 30 gallon. I have  a regular freshwater tank, but I just put on layaway a 30 gallon tank setup with all the filtration and such self contained. I have always wanted a salt water tank and was always told by others it was too hard to keep up and maintain ect ect. But with these new self contained filtration tanks it seems like it will be alot easier to do. I am really excited about it and I can't wait to finish paying off the layaway so I can get strarted.  

Well I have done abxolutley nothing today. I have ;aid around the house, played on the pc, watched tv. I have not evn cooked dinner yet. It really does not feel like it is xmas. I really have not gotten into the holiday spirit so to speak at all this year. yeah I have bought gifts and [put up some decorations but not many.  This place is just so crowed, there is no room for nothin around here. I just feel like I need one of those big ass roll off dumpsters and just chuck everything in it and start out fresh. I would too if I could afford to. I am just so frustrated. Everywhere I look there is something stuck somewhere. and what is not shoved somewhere out of the way there is stuff sitting out and no where to put it. GOD I need a house make over. Some to just come in and get rid of the clutter I am unable to part with.

Ok I vented maybe I will feel better now... I will let ya all know tomorrow if it worked

Well I took a surprise trip to my mothers on Thanksgiving day. I planned it out about 3 weeks before Thanksgiving. I asked Bill to see if he could get off work and so to make a story short we went. I never called my mom to let her know we were coming. I was afraid to tell her because if the weather changed for the worse we would not go and that would only depress her more than she already seemed to be. Well the morning we left it was almost 60 degrees and was to make it to 70 by the time we arrived at my mothers in Scranton Pa.  I guess it was about 2pm when we arrived and I went to the front door and opened it. She never heard me come in. She had her nebulizer going for her breathing treatment,(which is on the loud side) when she did not look my way, I knocked on her bedroom door frame and the look on her face was priceless. YEAH just like on one of them Mastercard commercials...lol  I cooked Thanksgiving dinner on Wed night before we left and packed it all up took it with us. So we did our hugs and "what you trying to do give me a heart attack sermon. I heated up Thanksgiving dinner and we had a very nice Thanksgiving meal together. I hope this helps make her feel less depressed and lets her know she is still a very important person in my life even though we do not get to see or speak to each other on a daily basis. Last year we did not go for Thanksgiving due to money and weather issues. I felt really awful when I heard that no one had showed up to wish her a Happy Thanksgiving and sent her a meal. She is a shut in with no way of getting out of the house without someone willing to give her assistance and taking all her oxygen tanks and such. All her friends are as old or older than she is and afraid to take on such a task. She only gets out when Bill and I take her or the Local Abulance corp takes her for Dr. Appointments which she has to pay for. So I can understand how she feels and gets so depressed. So an ending to my little story hope everyones Thanksgiving was as good if not better thn mine.

OK I was looking around on multiply and saw some really strange things and some interesting things. Not so sure I can manage to be either one.
