A little better

I had an awesome day yesterday when I went out to my second parent's house. We had a BBQ and everyone spent a little time together. We are supposed to go apple picking today but it is not until this afternoon. I'm trying to get the boys to clean their room right now. It is a bit hypocritical of me to make them clean when my room is a royal wreck but I have to shampoo their carpet so the dogs will stop going to the bathroom in there. They are doing it but not without a lot of whining and a headache for me. I really wish that I could take something but I don't have what I need and I can't stomach taking a dozen regular asprin.
I'm feeling a bit better about the situation with my sister. She woke up when he came over to see their daughter with his new girlfriend. She is finally starrting to move on but I can see that she is still holding a torch for him. I hope that she can move on and get back on her feet. One thing that she is yet to come to realize is that she needs to get a job. She wants to stay home with her daughter but there is no way she can do that without living in someone else's home.
I'm working on cleaning up my own life as well. I'm taking the first step by getting rid of a bunch of my stuff. The best way for me to get everything else in my life to organize is to start by organizing my material possessions. I still think that there is a ton that I need to get rid of in my room alone but it is a hard to decide what I should get rid of and what I should keep. The hoarder in me keeps looking at it all and thinking when I could use it and why I might need it eventually. surprisingly enough it is the clothes that I am having the most trouble getting rid of. I went through a few boxes of books getting rid of a bunch really easy. I still have a lot of books that I don't have room for but most of them are one's that have been passed down to me from my real father or that mean something to me for sentimental reasons. I kept a few books that were more for teaching then reading but I kept them because those things are always useful even with the internet. I really need to do laundry the pile of dirty laundry in my bedroom is as tall as my dresser but I haven't got to it yet and I probably won't unless me and the boys go to the laundymat.
The boys are almost ready to go down they have the room almost clean and are getting dressed. I'm getting hungry too. We will have to go down and eat then I'm going to have to get up and do some things. I have to take my laptop to my brother as well so that he can do some homework. All in all I think I am calming down some and feeling a little better. My next step after I get everything gone through and gone is to start on cleaning up my mind and body but I need to work some more before I am ready to tackle that mess.
