How the decluttering / Cleanse going ? & a whole lot more...

First of all i am going to change the name to cleanse.. declutter feel well to cluttered : )

The answer is honestly not great. Apart from bagging and giving 5 bags of second hand clothes to charity and clearing my "posh living room " ( the only things posh in it is the marble fireplace.. the Ikea curtains,old recovered couches and borrowed pillows not so much..) Still it is my favourite room in the house and as with most of my favourite things will barely be used. 

This means that i still have the home office, and spare bedroom to tackle... 

(oh i just remembered i also clearned the cupboard under the stairs yay ! i can reach my tumble drier now ) 

Actually a hoarder could come to my home and find me quite mad as i dont actually have that much stuff what i do have though, is an obsession with storage and orderliness... no one tells you that orderliness and toddlers dont mix..please i am not making excuses just merely pointing out that on a normal day when i am cleaning bedrooms putting clothes away etc Ceyda is normally in her room trying on all her clothes... I call it the tidy up sprint ,as if i am fast enough i can minimise the mess she makes. Ok back to the cleanse. 

I think this will be a longer process  than i would have liked for one i am still waiting for DH to find a ladder so that we can put said storage away to be stored..

Ok back to Ceyda. We had such a lovely day today. It was one of those easy days where activites and duties flowed perfectly. So here is what we did. 

*3 loads of washing (one of which still in machine take note Isla) cleaned kitchen twice..hoovered twice ( dropped bag of sugar on the floor...) tidied bedrooms. Prepared spare room and bathroom for new guest arriving tonight.

* Read all of her favourite books..including her new leapfrog tag books which she loves

* Counted..manadarins and apples alot... counting is kind of her thing right now

* Sang songs to a daft Pegga Pig CD

* Went for a lovely walk to the supermarket where i pretty much forgot to get everything i actually needed.

* Puzzle time..Ceyda is freakishly good at puzzles

* Watched Little Einsteins

* Played in the garden with Lucky

and last but not least painted before Dinner "project shapes".. the idea was for Ceyda to paint the shapes i had prepared..and once the meal was on the cooker i joined her and well we had far to much fun cos i burnt the dinner : ( : ( 

* Pasta with ready sauce for tea then. 

The one thought that i had all day was "GRATEFUL" regardless of feeling as though i am tumbling around at times, regardless of feeling the depth of loneliness at times, i am grateful for everthing and everyone i have in my life. I am grateful for everything i think and feel and grateful for my journey.

Last night i blog surfed something i have never done. I found many beautiful blogs but there was one that caught me..it was the blog of a mother who had lost a child. She had brought only one of of twins home from the hospital. My heart hurts for this person still... as she is lost between the living and the dead. I know you dont know me but i hope you find your way. 

Although there is no comparison it made me think of my first baby bee. I miscarried at 15 weeks. I love you. I think of you often my dear little boy. We are waiting for you.
