EXTRA BAGGAGE

I think We the People carry around too much stuff.

Lightening the load is always a good thing. Even the airlines are catching on & charging you for extra baggage. Lighter loads. It's a chance to make room for new things. Healthy things. Creating new, positive environments.

You know who you are.

My heart and my support go out to you. Your first big ol' healthy first step in a new direction with a lighter load in an uphill battle. Old friends aren't hard to find these days. good ones are always a step away. I don't care how many years have passed.

that said---lemme lighten the mood!! teehee
We seem to learn early about carrying around STUFF? For example, Ellie.
She is no stranger to carrying around a bunch of things that she has deemed in her 3 1/2 year old little head as VERY important and necessary. Most of it ends up on the floor of my car. This morning i couldn't find her shoes. ANY of them. Turns out they were on the floor of my car--2 pairs mind you!
Can you spot them??

I've totally given up trying to help her out of the car too--because I too am bogged down with stuff!!! I am generally holding Jay, his bottle bag, food, blankies---all the stuff.

So here she is...trying to make it out of the car with all her crap that I will now have to make sure she leaves with this afternoon. Otherwise, she will notice 1/2 way home that she doesn't have her purse and cry for it until tomorrow. Do boys do this?????

So, let's review what we went in with......
1. purse
2. milk
3. book
4. there is a banana waffle in there from trader joes somewhere?
5. i made her put ON the sunglasses...for efficiency. HAHAH.

Just so you don't think i dress her crazy---it is TACKY TUESDAY. I tried. But her shirt is also stuck & not pulled down all the way--so it looks even goofier. that was a freebie.

JAY.

To young to hang onto anything but his little thumb. We moved him to the bigger car seat because he was literally getting stuck in the infant seat--between that & that it's getting hot here in Georgia---he was all sweaty when i finally unstuck him. he's much happier.

More space!! We are days away from a fun 3 day weekend!!! Wahoooooo!!!
