the other side of the table



that is the china





that is the garage in june 06
well for some reason i lost my first picture on the last post and it wont let me upload anymore so i will try again later
So this was my garage on 17 June 2006 after amanda had left all her stuff in the front half of it. After a couple months of putting it off and then a couple of months going through it I had only a few boxes left. Most of them were china, some were vases and candle holders. That is some of what I had left. There was a set of really pretty china also. After 3 weeks on craigslist I didnt sell the china so I finally just got rid of everything. Chuy took some of the blue stuff (he likes the cobalt blue stuff) for his new place (he is moving out this week after 2 and 1/2 years of living with us). He also took the china, I'm assuming he is going to give them to his mom or his sister-in-law. It is a 6 person place setting with some extras incase they break. I will try to up load a picture when I am done writing this as it wouldn't let me do it earlier. The rest of the stuff I just packed into boxes and took to Goodwill with all the old stuff I had laying around in the garage. The reason I did it all today is because I needed to get all the stuff out of the garage so Chuy could get his stuff out and I got tired of it being in my way.


So that is what I did today.

a piece or peace?

here is a piece of an email i wrote my husband today. i think i discovered what i have been doing wrong. its time to find some peace in my life and im gonna try harder to do that.

izzy is over here having breakfast. i made them pancakes, im such a nice mom arent i. i have been getting better with the kids. i still get irritated but i try to control it. i think i had feelings of resentment towards them. im not sure why but i think it has something to do with me not getting to sleep in everyday. stupid huh? i know im crazy. did i tell you that the other day i actually thought about not having anymore kids. HAHA that was until i held laura a few hours later. i miss feeling a baby in my arms and i miss being needed. i know the kids need me but i think it is a different feeling. i had no problem getting up in hte middle of the night to feed liz and i actually got up the next morning with energy. i dont understand why. maybe you could think about and explain it to me. i just thought of something. i think i am controlling. when they are little i am able to control them in a certain way and i can handle them better. i just dont think i know how to handle older kids. maybe its because when i was around my neices and nephews they were all younger. i was around them much as they were growing up. i just need to learn how to deal with older ones. i need to be more involved with them, have fun with them. hmmm maybe i just solved my own problem.
