So, I know that you are all wondering if I have even started de-cluttering my house. Well, I am happy to report that I have. Yes, I Holly, have finally started! Yesterday I attacked my childrens bedroom (this was a task in itself). We went through 10 garbage bags, but we did it.

We threw away all broken toys, toys that had missing parts, and clothes that didn't fit anymore. You can not image how much crap boys can store in their rooms, lol. Of course, my boys didn't enjoy the process as much as I did, but in the end... I think they were okay with it.

Now, for a little update on the lives of the Ewells...

For those of you that haven't heard, Gareth got a promotion at work. He is now Sales Manager for the Mesquite plant. This with the promotion he got not long ago, of being over the St. George Plant, has kept him pretty busy, but he is really enjoying it.

The boys are adjusting well to school. We have finished the 1st quarter and are on a pretty good schedule. Yes, we fight regarding homework, but they know that if they don't get it done, they get the wrath of dad, lol.

As for me, nothing really new, just loving life.

Life

How do you define life? Is it the amount of money you have, how big your house is, the position at work? What is your definition of life?

I'd rather be a failure at something I love, than a success at something I hate! ~George Burns

I would have to agree with George Burns! Life isn't about materialistic things, or how much money you have. You could be the poorest person, but as long as you have family and friends, to you it feels like you're the richest.

Thinking about where we are heading in this world, with the economic crisis and the inability of change, we all need to change our priorities. We may not have a job in the next few months, or years. We may not have our savings or our 401K's. If that happens, are you still going to be happy? Are you going to feel like you are the luckiest person in the world? I think not!!

We can be sure that the greatest hope for maintaining equilibrium in the face of any situation rests within ourselves ~ Francis J. Braceland

It's our time to rise, and have our voices heard! Let's put our future in our own hands, and not leave it up to fate! We are smart people, and I know that if we put our minds to it, we can accomplish anything. (Or at least that is what I keep telling myself, lol)

Snow White

I stole this from Krystal's blog, just out of curiosity on my part. What are the questions? What are the correct answers? Do you have to have seen all the princess movies over and over to understand?

Well, I took the quiz and it shows that I would be Snow White! What do you all think, does it fit me?

Pure and trusting. You are a gentle soul who can get along with just about anyone. Everyone you meet instantly falls in love with you. How can they resist? You have a pure, lovable nature that's irresistible. Just don't trust everyone who comes across your path.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Ugh!!!!

Ok, so I realize my last post was a little PG-13ish, and I apologize for that, but haven't you ever just felt like that? Where you don't care what people think or do? I am having one of those days where I am just irritated. Don't know why I am irritated, I just am. Work is fine, my boys are fine, I am just in one of those moods. I have been under a little bit of stress lately, but all and all I just can't figure out why the irritation!!!

I guess I will just have to chalk it up to the change in the weather (which I LOVE by the way)...

Women, geesh! LOL

'Nuff Said

Handle every stressful situation like a dog....
If you can't eat it or hump it...
Piss on it and walk away!!!!!
