Cleaning out

A teen girl from church offered to babysit Destiny today because she wanted to earn some money to buy a birthday gift. She took Destiny swimming. I took advantage of the uninterrupted time to clean my bedroom closet and all my dresser drawers. I threw out a big garbage bag of stuff and have another garbage bag full to sell at a yard sale later this summer. Wow, that feels good!

Lancaster County is having severe thunder storms this evening. So far it's just dancing around us. The sky has been very dark for an hour and it keeps thundering and lightning, but you can tell it's not here. Besides there's been no rain so far. WE NEED RAIN!!

We did the very same thing recently and it is a very good feeling. We call it downsizing.

I rained here quite a bit this afternoon...of course, RIGHT when I left work...isn't that always the way? We needed it really bad though AND rain is my favorite weather, so have no complaints at all!

We finally got a little bit of rain here in Atlanta - but not enough. We need a couple days of steady, soft rain.

Jean - I saw your comment about my freezer. I love having meals ready all the time. I was just saying to Dom tonight that I'm going to keep doing this. I may not do a month's worth all at one time, but each week, I'll fill up what's been used already. I wish I had thought of this idea sooner.

I'm sure that was money well spent. A good thing for the babysitter, Destiny and you.

It rained last night and then it was real, real HOT today. It felt like someone had left open the oven door every time I stepped outside. It cooled off around 5PM and now it's raining. Yippee!

I want some! Uninterrupted time, that is.
