Roommates

I really didn't want to start a blog until I was certain I could post regularly but sometimes life moves faster than I have time to write about it. But much better than when my life WAS the internet.

At any rate, this will be short. I made very little progress with my decluttering as I had planned to spend all day today doing a huge purge of the items I have designated donate/get rid of. Tomorrow was supposed to be my first day back to school so today would have been my last free day. I am a school secretary and the kids come back September 1st but the principal and I start earlier. Teachers who don't have to be back were already showing up and the principal didn't know where their keys were.

So it turned out TODAY was supposed to be secretary's first day back. They couldn't find many of us to tell us that. Communication isn't the greatest in my public school district. Some of the secretaries think Thursday is their first day back. And as coincidences would have it the last two roommates I ever had are both in town. I'll post a picture of us tomorrow but right now I am only home briefly to feed our guinea pigs and hamsters and then go back to the motel. It's just down the street and I had already planned for M to stay here. I made the kids help me with moving some furniture around last night and purging more items. Set the timer for one hour and we worked non stop. After we were done the 9-year-old said, "Mommy, it looks a lot worse now."

Yes it does but that is not why we are all staying at the motel down the street.

Let me clarify that. That is not the ONLY reason we are staying at the motel down the street.

So more later. We haven't seen each other in a LONG time and decided to just do it with a power visit but she is the one who drove the two hours and she is the one with my kids now.
