Goodness! Everyone must have had a busy Monday!!!
I did some puttering around the house. Baskets are a wonderful thing! They keep and hold our stuff until we need it, and no one knows it's there! And sometimes, we hide stuff in those baskets for SO long, that WE don't know it's there! LOL I have done some purging today!
I have also started a project. I have a tote in each of the boy's closets that have school papers in them from over the years. Then in the office, I have a stack of school photos and report cards. Soooo, on Oprah a few weeks ago, there was a woman on there that made a memory box for each of her kids and in it, she put these papers, plus other memories...like a hunk of her daughter's carpet or wallpaper from her son's room. The memory box that she had looked like a large wooden treasure chest. I may get something like that eventually, but tonight I got just a plastic file box to start the organizing process. The boys were funny as I sorted through photos and papers! I'll also put in the standardized testing scores and flyers from things like band concerts and football games. I hope the boxes will be big enough! Unfortunelty, I bought letter size instead of legal sized haning files, so I'll have to go back to the store tomorrow to get the right ones. Then I'll date them by the school year and file away the memories!!
I have also decided that if Jennifer doesn't take me back...which the more people I talk to, the more I am starting to think I don't have a job.....I am starting to believe that maybe this is a sign that I need to be HERE, raising MY Family and not her's. Maybe we'll be strapped financially, maybe I can make some changes for us that will help to ease that. Maybe, in 6 months, I'll realize that I'll have to go back to work....maybe I won't. For now, it's time to focus on OUR family. And yes, I am toying with the idea of just telling her, I quit.
