I've really had a hard time physically the last few weeks.  I've been fighting off some sickness for the last month and I think I should go to the doctor.  It's probably bacterial since it's lasted so long, but nevertheless, I have still been trying to organize all the boxes of stuff in my room so I can either have a place for or get rid of everything.  I am nearly done going through most of my house; I want to be done with it so bad, my head won't let me slow down, but my body is taking a toll.  I wonder if part of the reason I'm not getting better is because my body isn't getting any rest.  Every time I lay down and try to rest I get some major anxiety going on and I need to keep doing sorting or cleaning, but not wasting time. Sigh... Oh and then after I got my braces on, on Friday, I have had a horrible migraine ever since.  Apparently headaches while spacing teeth is very common. In addition to all that, I have been selling and buying furniture from the classifieds, trying to remodel a bit.  Along with that comes several painting projects that I'll want to do and until then, there's just a lot of extra furniture in the house, just staring at me, nagging me to get them painted and done.  I am overwhelmed and the only reason I have time to blog now is because I'm babysitting for my sister in law.  At least this service gives me a couple of hours to lay down and do nothing without thinking of everything I should be doing.  I'm tired :(

Since Joshua is starting preschool this week, I figured I should cut off his baby hair so he can fit in a little better.  I was a little sad.  I love baby whispies. 😢 So both boys got haircuts tonight.

Well, I finally have a minute to reflect on what's been happening lately.  I've been so busy I haven't been able to visit Grandma or Cheryl in ages.  After I finished renovating the main floor bathroom, my next project was the pantry.  I finished tiling the last of the pantry and grouted today.  I was just going to tile, but then I decided I hated the wire shelving and took that all down and I will build custom shelving that will work great for a lot of our food storage as well as a rolling can rack and a column of shelves for normal pantry food.  I'm excited to get all of the food out of our kitchen and garage.  I have Joshua starting preschool next week across the street and luckily he's not the only young one.  Then I have a girl come play with Joshua twice a week for two hours while I do organizing projects.  The kid just does not like to play alone, he doesn't even watch TV alone.  We took the RV out a couple of weeks ago as a family, though Dave and the kids have used it two other times for ward campouts.  It was great and I'm excited to use it more frequently to bond with each other.  We would have taken it out this weekend for memorial day, but we have a baptism to go to tomorrow.  The kids are enjoying school and I'm enjoying less fighting.  The house also stays cleaner. I am fairly confident that tomorrow morning I will be down to minus 25lbs... again since I gained about 12 back over a couple of months.  Just in time to pig out at chuckarama 😁.  I have been super good this week preparing for the meal. Lol
