Life happens and time passes by quickly

I have not posted in a long time. I can't really give a definitive answer as to why, but I suppose I can safely say Life happens and I lose track of time. Since my last post my granddaughter Morgyn and great granddaughter Randi moved back with her boyfriend, was there about a month and half and has moved back in with me again. Also my grandson Kharson has moved in. He is 18 and a senior in high school. My house is full, very full. Even though I am stressed a lot of the times mostly because of all the stuff around me and the constant movement within this home, I am happy that they are safe here and after all these years of not being able to see Kharson because of his father's hatred for my daughter, Kharson's mother and other things to numerous to mention, Kharson is living here with me. He has always maintained since he was forced by the courts at age 4 to go live with his father that when he got older he was going to come live with me. And pretty much about a week or so after he turned 18 he moved out of his fathers house and now is here. This grandma is happy in that respect that I finally get to have a relationship with my grandson.
I have been busy trying to go through this house and get rid of things and take to goodwill and or just get rid of. I try and devote at least 3 days a week to do this. I just pick an area, drawer, closet etc and go through it. I am making some headway it seems as I have made many trips to drop off stuff at goodwill, but then at times I look around and think I haven't even made a dent. I have been out on my own since I was 18 and I am now 56 so that's a lot of years to accumulate stuff. And boy it seems I have accumulated lots. But it will get done. I am trying to take the motto...Less is More...
My youngest grandson Noah turned 1 the end of March and he is trying to walk. He falls a lot and then decides enough of this stuff and just crawls to where he wants to go. My son Bryce, Noah's father, has decided since he can't seem to find a job around here that doesn't lay him off after a month or so, he is going to join the National Guard. I have mixed emotions about this. But I will support him in the decision he makes.

I am actually going to have a whole evening to myself tonight with absolutely no one here. I can't remember the last time that has happened. I am so looking forward to having some quiet time to myself and I have some craft project in mind to do that I haven't had a chance to get done. I may not do anything also, but enjoy the quiet. I may just decide to sit back and relax and read. Hmm decisions decisions...I guess will have to see how I feel at the time.

I am hoping to keep up with this blog a little better then I have in the past. Will hopefully be able to add some interesting tidbits along the way, time will tell. As I have said, Life happens and it happens fast, it can get away from you quick. Take care and enjoy your day in whatever it is you want or need to do.
