Of course I'm not going to sit around and do nothing.. even though I feel like I want to sometimes. Saturday I went to a family BBQ. My grandparents are gone so it was just the aunts, my mom, and my great grandma, my cousin and her little daughter Miss Bellsa. It was nice to see them, I haven't seen them since fathers day! Which is really abnormal since I used to see my family like, everyday. Sad to say but since I got pregnant, its changed a lot of things. Not saying that my family has abandoned me, they haven't. I'm just lazier and more relaxed. I'm not on the go all the time so I'm only really in salt lake to work and I don't go in all the time to hang out. So therefore I don't see everybody as much! I would drive in more, I should drive in more but I hate the car, especially now that its 100 degrees and I'm fat. But anyways.. so we had a BBQ. I'm like everyone else and I LOVE BBQs. mmm cheeseburgers. Which I love! Its the only type of meat I know I can eat all of and hold down. That and steak.. plus we had lots of fruit! which I'm obsessed with! The funny thing was, anything I ate, Bella would run up, palm out and want half of whatever I was eating. lol She's so cute I actually let her have the half of what I was eating. That child is spoiled lol. Later on when we were just hangin out, I was trying to make Evelyn move in my belly (she wouldn't! stubborn child, only likes to move at night) Everyone was amazed at how big my belly has gotten and bells thought it was hilarious that I had my big belly out. She ran up and poked my belly button and thought it was the funniest thing ever. Little weirdo lol all in all it was a good day.
So since I have so many days off and no plans on days like today.. I made up my mind to do some spring cleaning.. well uh.. late spring cleaning but spring cleaning at that. If you know me well enough you would know that I HATE CLEANING. well I mostly hate picking things up. So my bedroom is always a disaster. I have about a million clothes! The reason its gets so messy is that when I get dressed, if I don't like what I put on, I take it off and throw it on the floor and find something else. I don't put it back on the hanger and back in the closet. Then I usually end up leaving it there. I also am quite the packrat. It was actually starting to verge on hoarder status. I love keeping things. I don't know why, but there's always a good memory attached to things. Its really stupid and I hate that I do it (I blame my grandmother, shes a packrat too!) but with the baby coming I needed to put an end to it. I need to make room for her. Plus I have to give up my basement room to move back upstairs to my old room which is smaller (its next to the nursery though and I need to be next to her) I would put in Ev downstairs with me, but its waaaay to cold. and plus we have a room that she can have all to herself. We have a 4 bedroom house with 3 people living in it (One on the way!) My mom and stepdad have separate rooms, it sounds weird, so to explain, he snores really bad! It kept my mom up since shes such a light sleeper( plus they've been married for 10+ years, so I'd say it works!). So since we had the extra space he got his own room when we moved in our house (which is now Evs nursery) when I moved downstairs after the basement was finished, he moved into my old room. It gives him his own space to have manly things, and allows my mother to have a girly room. buuut now we need to switch. I need to come back upstairs so I'm next to my Evee Pie. I think that if I stay downstairs it will make getting up with her harder on all of us. It will wake my stepdad and mom up and my mom would end up feeding her. which I don't want because this is MY baby and I told her when I first found out that Ev would be MY responsibility and my mom wouldn't even have to change a diaper. So long story short, I needed my old room back. So that means I have to clean ALL my junk out of my room. All the things stuffed under my bed, the years and years of useless crap I've collected, old clothes, old things I don't use. Which is A LOT of stuff. I really didn't understand the amount of useless shit a person could accumulate until today. Why I saved it all, I have no clue. So I pretty much threw EVERYTHING out. I'm getting rid of a ton of clothes, even clothes I'm not really ready to give up. (I figure I'm going to buy new clothes anyways) I just got rid of a whole bunch of stuff. Even if it did have memories attached to them. (I didn't get rid of pictures or anything like that.) Its crazy how much stuff I threw away. Its bittersweet really. I know its junk, but its like a collection of the past 10 years of my life. the thing that made it easy was the realization that I have a whole new life that's about to start. I need things to be fresh and new and I need to stop holding onto things that are in the past. Plus its just stuff. I don't need it anymore, I'm a whole new person and I have a whole new life ahead of me. Its good to start over once in a while. It makes me even more excited for the future.
And to be a little honest my motivation for all this spring cleaning and change (I've been putting it off MUCH to long) was because I want to
re-decorate :)
I love buying new bedding and new decor. It's so much fun! Plus I found beautiful shabby chic bedding that I LOVE. And the best part, is I can afford it! Yay! :)
So
A new life, a new outlook and a beautiful baby girl to share it with
and here's to the next 10 years! (hopefully I'll only collect an abundance of memories this time rather then stuff!)
