a little travel....
So, I travel for work. Not a lot, but enough to be really annoying. And not even to glamorous locations, where you are happy to get away for a night or 2, have some fun, recharge, enjoy life. No, I travel to tim-buk-tu. and all the flights are late at night or 800 hours long with multiple stops in a small noisy plane with no bathroom, in-flight service, or entertainment. and the shopping is bad. NOT my idea of a good time.
What these flights are good for, however, is thinking (which is good because you couldn't talk to anyone, even if you wanted to, its too loud). I was on just such a trip the last 2 days. and I thought. Nothing constructive, unfortunately. I did decide that the flight would be much improved if I had an in-flight Cosmo.
Of course, there aren't many uncomfortable situations that aren't improved when you have a drink in hand!

Starting all over again....
Here I go again.... starting a blog. Why, I ask myself, why do I do this. Start something that I will keep up for 2 weeks, only to leave it because I don't really have the time to keep going??!! Well, its pretty cheap as far as therapy goes... and I definitely need therapy!!
This year, on New Years day (typical, I know), I set a goal for myself for the next year. To organize my house. The plan is to go from room to room, de-clutter and organize. We have started, slowly. First the kids rooms, then the closets, living room, kitchen, basement, garage, laundry room, our room. everything. I want to live with less, enjoy the things we have, not let our 'stuff' stress us out. But... lately I have been realizing that the clutter and disorganization are symptomatic of whats going on inside me....
The last couple of months have been pretty rough on me. I started something new, something I thought would be wonderful for me and my family, only to discover that I want different things than I thought I did. Success, money, and perceived importance are not what they seem. I have 2 beautiful kids, a fabulous husband, loads of family and lots of friends. Those are more important to me than anything else.
So in addition to organizing my house, I am going to attempt to organize my life. I think that it will be interesting to see how they relate to each other. I think an entire life change is in order. There are somethings that are really important to me... my husband, my kids, etc., things I don't want to effect negatively. And there are other things that I want completely different than they are right now. I would like to use this blog to document my journey. Hopefully I will be able to look back in 6 months, a year, 2 years and see how far I've come.
hopefully....
