I love family! I always wanted to be apart of a big family and hoped one day I would marry into one...well guess what? I did and now I love my small little family even more! I'm so glad that I had such a close relationship with all of my small number of family members. I do love most of my newish extended family but have to tell you that when you get a bunch of family together drama is not far behind. There has been some issues of this drama going on and I've been praying and talking and trying to figure out what to do and God has finally given me the answer. Boundaries! They are great and although I struggle with them and don't always feel like it is right that is what I need to do. So to all my wonderful family out there I'm going to be making some changes and putting up some boundaries that will be better for my immediate family and I apologize now if it offends anyone but Miah, Rex and myself come first and this is what I have to do.
So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...
Boundaries are good in every situation, especially family! ;)
