Guilty Giving Away

Today was "Clean the room" day.  It is pretty impossible to keep my room clean because Jason and I share our room with Violet, a fifty five gallon fish tank, and a HUGE iguana, whose cage takes up a quarter of the room. Thanks to good warm weather our two dogs are able to sleep outside once again.  Yeah, space is limited in our little cornor of the house.  Thanks be to the architect who decided that the rooms in this house should be big.  Still, as big as our room is,  It is hardly enough space for a family of three and all their belongings.  Some times I feel like if one thing is out of place the whole room is in shambles.  And in that case the whole room is often in "shambles"  (note:  what the hell is a "shamble")
With any luck our credit will be excellent in a few more months, and all debt will be paid off.  Crossing our fingers that time flies by fast so we can start house shopping, and we can build our castle on five acres of my families land.

I started to just "pick up" the room.  Next thing you know, drawers are splayed out and every trinket in my room is placed in a proper pile with things of it's similarity.  Oh my gosh it was like a hoarders junk fest after I looked at every thing.  Must make room, must make room, kept going through my head.  But how do you throw all that neat stuff into the donate bucket?  HOW I ASK!?!?  I literally have to close my eyes and clench my teeth as I think about the neglected little things going into what seems like the largest lost and found bin called GoodWill.

Getting rid of Violet's stuff is the worst.  I some times wonder if I am the only mommy in the world that goes through a depression every time I go through the clothes she no longer fits in.  Such tiny little things.  I think I can remember almost every time she wore those cute little skull shoes, and all the complements we got on them.  How she looked like a doll in that dress.  It drives me even more crazy when I realize that most of the stuff she has grown out of she has only worn a few times and they are practically new.  She just grows so fast! 

But now some updates:
Took sixth place in flags on sunday's rodeo.  YEEE HAAA
Violet popped two more molars on the bottom of her ever vanishing gummies.
Garden is going great,  Strawberries have not died, and I planted some stringy beanies today.  Now if the wind would stop blowing so I can plant some more stuff.
Shaved down toby,  He looks terrible but I'm sure he feels so much better.
And now I have to get the easter decorations out.
 Peace out and much love.

Soon to be the spot for our futur home.

Mexican Elder in the front yard.  Hoping the freeze didn't kill the top branches.

There is no way I'm getting rid of these little shoes!  NEVER!!!!

Some of my seedlings.  Just waiting for the wind to stop so they can be planted in the garden.
