I see clearly now the rain is gone (at least at moment)...

So, I'm still decluttering and getting rid of the baggage - in my life and on my body.  Whew! It's a lot of work but I like challenges for hte most part.  I'm down 5 lbs so far and feeling great.  Only 50 more to go.  Each day I am carving out at least 15 - 30 minutes for me and me only.  I have dreams of actually reaching 60 whole minutes. 

On Sunday I spent 2 hours cleaning out my closet.  I must have had clothes in six different sizes.  It felt could to deliver a huge box to Goodwill on Monday.  Spring cleaning is actually enjoyable this year.  I still have lots to get done but I've started and I see progress.

My daughter was selected as one of 6 girls from our Girl Scout council to attend the National Convention in Houston, TX next fall. I am so proud of her!  Then today, she finds out that she was accepted into both of her top two shops at school.  Yes, I see growth and progress (if only we could tape her mouth shut from timeto time).  She has her own opinions and freely shares all the time.  Wow.  Oh to be a teenager again - Not.  It's hard to believe that she's turning 15 and will be heading off to college in 3 years.  Oh how time flies.

My littlest trooper is such a joy. His vocabulary is quite extensive, he forgets nothing, well almost nothing, except where his shoes are most times...lolol  He loves, bubbles, bananas, chicken and his umbrellas.  He is learing the ABC song and sings it proudly.  You can recognize A B C D E then it's gobbledygoop until you get to L & M then off to mumble land and we hit S something something W U X UUD (yes UUD instead of Y and Z.  We repeat UUD about nine times in a row before starting from the beginning of the song.  I must record this as it is definitely a keeper.  Potty training has picked up once again.  He had a good 2 weeks of the stomach bug off and on so there was no need for PT.

Spring has arrived and so did the snow flurries this morning.  I'm still in shock.
