I know, I know, I am a proud grandma! Lucy is two weeks old and she has outgrown one of her tiny sleepers. She is already changing. Kelsa still adores her. Well, we all do.
Jethelyn and the boys were here all weekend. We had a BBQ and passed the baby around. Lots of laughs and making fun of grandma. I make it so easy. Danny mowed my lawn and then helped the neighbor with some chores. Now what 15 year old boy do you know that will help a stranger for two hours? They are doing something right.
William and Oliver and James played hard all weekend. Grandma bought junk food which my girls were quick to point out I never bought for them.
Sissie is here today and the piles are enormous. I warned her taking so much time off.
I am going to attack the last September wedding dress which is actually not a wedding dress so it will be easy. Then onto the October dresses. I have 5 mothers of the bride dresses that snuck in last week. Plus, little person alterations.
Sewing is never ending, which might be a good thing, but I really could use a break, and I am afraid I will never get one. Not that I can't take a break, but I think more and more about closing the shop eventually.
It is getting a little cooler here in the mornings and that is nice. But we still have very hot afternoons.
I put away all the 4th of July and put out all the fall things when Jess was here. Jess did a lot of dusting, bless her heart, and she gave me crap about it. I really need to do a huge declutter again. I mean one of the whole house and let us not even talk about the garage. Where does the stuff come from, I ask you?
Is everyone's house like this? Or is it just me. Or maybe the change of the seasons brings these feeling out in me.
I am going to get busy, I promise.
God is good

Such a sweet picture.
ReplyDeleteRetiring has to happen at some time - thinking about it, and making a plan is what to do now.
Yes, it that way at my house too. I declutter all the time and there is no end.
It is just surprising how often I think of it!
DeleteBaby and sis are soooo cute! Is Sluggy doing any better? Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteNo slugs is not doing better. She needs prayers.
DeleteThe girls are so bloomin cute!
ReplyDeleteIt is not just your house. I keep getting rid of stuff, clean a closet and there is more stuff to get rid of.
I know, where oh where does it come from?
DeleteSuch a sweet picture of your girls!
ReplyDeleteThey stay little such a short time.
DeleteI'm with Cheryl - set a plan & goals for your retirement, and then put the plan into place! We will be cheering you on! - Hawaii Planner
ReplyDeleteScary but I think of it often.
DeleteSometimes I think my stuff had a party and the other stuff that came just never went home. Soooo much stuff. heatherruark
ReplyDeleteI am convinced it has sex when we are not looking....
ReplyDeleteLook at those two precious ones! Isn't it something how fast they grow? Those first few weeks with a newborn are so blissful; you think they will be that tiny and little forever. I remember when they kicked out of the swaddle for the first time. I was so sad! My Gram used to say it was unfair because you wait nine months for that baby; we should get at least that with them as newborns! And clutter, stuff, memories...tell me about it! We have tubs of things we brought from Pennsylvania... things we couldn't part with... sitting in our garage. Exactly where we put them when we moved here permanently in APRIL! I keep telling myself that clearly I don't need that stuff! Yet. There they sit. Anyway, rant over. Have a lovely day, my dear friend!
