Clutter BUGS me!

So I'll admit it, I Breanne use to be...a pack rat.  Not to the extent that they would put me on Hoarders or anything! But lets get serious, we all do it...well minus like the one person I know who may have possible undiagnosed OCD.   So how did I overcome it you say? Well...try moving over 12 times (that's when I stopped counting) in the last decade! That's a story for another time though.  

Today I started my spring cleaning early.  My giant black Glad bag and I have so far conquered under Sis's bed, a few garbage cans, papers with doodles the kids refuse to throw away, and that's about it.  I promise I am not done yet! I have just scratched the surface! I still have closets, the rest of Sis's room, Bubs room, storage areas, and MORE!! Hey, we've all got to start somewhere! 

I encourage you, my followers (hehe that sounds a little cult like) to start somewhere...cuz Spring will come and who wants to spend it inside cleaning?! Not this lady!

Homeward-UN-bound!

So as some of you may or may not know I am expecting our third child.  More likely not everyone knows how sick the little monkey made me during my first trimester (and yesss I am VERY glad it was only 1 and not 3!) I was so miserable I had to withdraw from school in the middle of last semester.  From that point on and for several weeks to follow my life was...very non-existent.  I slept a good 20 hours a day from pure exhaustion that I could not shake, and the other four were used to attempt to eat, and get my kids to school, O and the occasional shower.  I pretty much felt like I had the symptoms of the flu 24/7...it sucked.  
For those of you who even semi-know me, sitting still for long periods of time and I DON'T get along!!  So to top it all of I was going stir crazy and could do nothing about it! :(  Thankfully, although it felt like eons had passed, I began to feel like a real person once again!
And so I have resumed life...maybe not at my full capacity...but at least to some capacity! Tuesday I begin classes at part-time status, and I am thrilled!  Monday the kids start the second week back to school since winter break, K has resumed her dance schedule and I have been able to become part of a fabulous book club! But most of all I am happy that I can enjoy my family and become a responsible parent and wife once again. 
So that's whats on my brain this week! Promise more to come...but most likely not as organized! :)
