Life is grand; life is beautiful; life is stress-free in the strawberry patch. NOT!!! I am meeting myself coming and going. I have cleared, de-cluttered, and cleaned and it is still overwhelmingly a pig's sty and not a rosy beautiful strawberry patch.
This is a post to let you know you probably won't be hearing from me for a week or two. I have to concentrate on packing-- and oh yeah, that reading and paper I have to turn in this Friday for my seminary class. Is it wrong to pray for a tornado to sweep the stuff away so I don't have to deal with it???? I know; be careful what you pray for. I'm a sinner; I confess. I really don't want my treasures to be destroyed in a tornado but I'm upset that stuff means more to me than worshiping and giving thanks to a benevolent God who is there for me always and in all situations. I do not want my stuff to rule me but it is feeling that way right now. Do you know what I mean?
Yesterday was a productive day. Hubby was home from work and he boxed up video tapes and books and I boxed and cleaned and it doesn't even look like we made a dent in the packing. THAT is what upsets me, truth be told. We still have...too.....much......stuff!
On the brighter side, I bought a wonderful gadget and cleaner to "deep" clean the rugs before I roll them up and pack them. This little gizmo is wonderful and works like a charm. I wanted to share it with you.

I don't know if you'll be able to see the difference in these photos, but here goes....

Yesterday I moved the junk and got rid or packed it up and decided to clean the rug. Can you see how dull the flowers are?
Now look:

| Nice clean rug |
How about this photo?
Even if you can't see the difference, I can! Now it's time to get back to work.

Check back next week. I'll upload a picture gallery of the move!
