It’s currently 1am, and I’m finally at the point where I can stop and know that I’ll actually finish up. It’s been about 13 hours, 1 broken bed, several spider sightings and killings, umpteen garbage bags of 5 years of crap, lots of laughter and “OMG LOOK AT THAT” and pleasant memories as we dug through a whole buncha shit. Some things were collected, oh so much more was tossed out without a second thought, and I can see the floor in my room for the first time in at least five years. And, for the first time in five years, I am sleeping with new pillows, instead of Kevin’s. <\/p>\n

It’s a good thing, but I am EXHAUSTED. <\/p>\n

It wasn’t as difficult emotionally as I expected, partially because a good portion of that was spent with Peppermist helping, laughing, and generally making a tough job much more enjoyable. The Pup joined in for a while too – but was more intent on finding treasures buried in the pile. Like these:<\/p>\n

Those pants shes wearing, that are only a couple inches too big? Those were pants that Kevin wore when we met. He had a size 29 waist then, until I got a hold of him and fattened him up a bit. *L* Needless to say, the pup and Peppermist were thrilled with this discovery, and the pup has decided to keep the pants and ‘grow into them’. *L*<\/p>\n

My kids are AWESOME.<\/p>\n

I finally located some hats and sunglasses that I had promised the boy too, so he’s happy – even though he has to make a dump run in the next couple days because of the vast amounts of crap we bagged up to toss. <\/p>\n

So now, as soon as my comforter is done drying, I’m gonna crawl between fresh brand new sheets and a still warm comforter, curl up around my brand new pillows, and sleep.<\/p>\n

It was a long day, but I’m feeling more content than sad, and that, my friends, is something to be glad about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
