J and I watched the 4th of July fireworks from our little lanai. He was so happy to see them, hear them, and I was SO proud that he finally understood what the 4th was all about.
We got to sleep in until about 7:20 AM this morning....G is usually up around 5-6 am-ish. Justin would probably sleep until 9am if we let him. :) Tim came right home from work, we got dressed and went to play racquetball. I think I hurt my back, I have a little twinge in my lower back and my whole left leg (mostly my hip and knee) have been bothering me a lot, and playing racquetball tends to aggravate it. But we had fun. J walked laps around the court while T and I played...G sat in her stroller eating Cheerios and drinking from her sippy cup.
I'm still hemming and hawing about finishing the lap quilt as well as reading my book. Although I did get a LOT of work done in the house the past two days...cleaned the kitchen top to bottom, thinned out our stuff, scrubbed, etc. You ever feel claustrophobic because there seems to be too much stuff in your home? That's how I'm feeling at the moment. I hate having a small storage building that's packed to the ceiling with stuff....I hate STUFF. I'd rather start out with a few pieces of furniture and when and if we needed something finding it then. We have this MONSTER 10' long desk for J and I to share at the moment, but I wish it was smaller, but the smaller table we have is too small.
So, right now we're just thinning out our belongings, yet again. We've all lost weight and are going through our clothing for items to donate to Good Will or to Freecycle http://www.freecycle.org
990 sq feet, 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a big livingroom, a galley kitchen...and we still don't have a kitchen table and chairs (nor do we have anywhere to put one!) LOL....feel free to post a comment or two with some suggestions and links on home organization, living more simply and with less. We need all the help we can get. :)
