There is a major cleaning of sorts going on in our little Pants household. The house has been trashed due to my unmedicated, remedicated, hormonal, ovary cysty state. So this morning we started right in, and hit the toys first.
This has been a big source of frusteration, as each time someone comes to see Grant, he gets handed a new something. Now, don’t get me wrong, we LOVE the gifts and attention. We just realized that we were starting to get overloaded, and needed to wean out the things that Grant doesn’t play with, is broken, or things that aren’t feasible to keep. We pick up things at garage sales that he loves, and my parents break the bank with all the toys he gets. We were suprised to find this morning, that he plays with most of his toys. Amazingly enough we weaned him down on garbage bag less, and the space and organization of the rest was enough to leave us almost a toybox empty! Just goes to show that you neadn’t just get rid of stuff, sometimes you just need to organize. So the toys are now good.
Now we have to go through our storage closet, and the stuff at the boy’s moms. And the stuff my parents picked up for us at my grandma’s. The stuff we don’t need anymore is going to be sold in a garage/yard sale that we’ll be having after we get settled into our new house.
We’re so excited for our new house. Have I mentioned that? :) We just can’t believe it somedays. While the tax problem remains icky, we’re giving it God, and letting it go. Worst case scenario, we have to pay it. Right now they’re appealing to the county to try and get them to change it, so we’ll see.
Yesterday, we hit the free zoo in town. The wee one has so much fun. He knows all the sounds the animals make, and gets SO excited. He wasn’t all that excited about Sparky’s show, but that’s to be expected. I’m excited to take him back to Sea World next year….he REALLY loves aquatic stuff.
We went to church last night instead of this morning. I love this church. If it were at all close, we would totally be going there. The pastors, the congregation, the music all just reeks the energy of God. The wee one started cheering when we pulled in the parking lot. That sells me right away! :) We also saw a family we went to church with in town, and that was AWESOME!
Right now I’m just feeling very contented. I’m wishing that this fertility stuff could get started, but I also know it’s so out of my hands. I was hoping to be finished, if not half way through our first clomid go round by now, but I’m learning that God’s timing is ALWAYS better than mine.
Wednesday we’re heading to Iowa to spend FIVE WHOLE DAYS WITH FAMILY. The boy’s sister and her wonderful husband are making the trip…I know it’s a big sacrifice for them and we’re just so grateful. We’ll be staying with the boys mom, so Grant is just going to have a blast. The boy’s Dad and Step-mom from Florida are going to be in town too, and we’re going to have a blow out 4th of July Birthday party at there house, followed by parades and fireworks. While the fourth of july is going to be kind of bittersweet this year, it’s going to be the BEST thing ever too! I’m hopeful that since I haven’t started the clomid, and the provera is out of my system I can be me. Just me. And enjoy my blessings.
That doesn’t mean I can’t be sad. I will be. And it’s okay.
I just am so aware of the passage of time. Probably since wee one is turning two, and the house move is coming. So many changes and adjustments… They aren’t bad ones. They just are there.
Anyway - today it’s gorgeous out. The sun is shining. The windows are open. The wind is blowing. I love summer. Especially in Minnesota.
