simplify

We're trying to get things together over here... trying to organize our world.

I've been packing up our totes full of Christmas decorations today. Taking things off the tree that's brittle, though not dropping needles as much as you'd think... filing away the cards, finding all the little nick-knacks that have been scattered about the house. Cleaning and dusting and generally getting the house ready to get back into the swing of real life.

The girls are busy little bees with their homework. They listen to classical music as they work and call me in to listen to songs they thing sound sad.

We have so much stuff - and it's about 1/2 what we had before we moved and cleared out. We're trying to pare it down again... I've found that stuff really gets in the way of life.

We are learning to live on less - Jme's new job (assistant Kindergarten teacher at The Montessori School)kind of forces it. We're living on about 1/3 the money we had this time last year and it's working somehow. And just when I start freaking about our cash flow, I am reminded...
