When I returned home, I was so motivated to take care of some house stuff. I am, clinically, OCD but I have to fight this disease during the week. There are not enough hours in the day to keep my house imaculate, organized, and smelling fresh and clean (Remember I live with TWO boys!!!). So, this weekend was the weekend. I had some grumbles from the pit crew but I didn't care. I couldn't take it anymore. *Side Note*- My house is probably immaculate to most people on a daily basis. But I have MUCH higher standards!!
So, I started the laundry. The funny thing about OCD is that you get sidetracked very easily. So, while I am starting one project, I am thinking about the two others I want to do. I scrubbed a few toilets (anyone want a picture of that???) and decided to tackle one of the projects I had thought about an hour ago. I needed to pack away all the winter gear.
I obviously hadn't done this in a long while. I came across sweatshirts I hadn't forogtten about. I decided, because if youre OCD you are NOT a hoarder, to get rid of the ones that we don't wear often enough to care about.
But these three I couldn't part with even though we don't wear them much anymore.
This is Josh's from his first boat. He wore this on our second date. It has all his patches from his first year in the Coast Guard. I actually hadn't even seen it in years! Maybe I can find something to do with it to display it. I'll have to search Pintrest.
This was given to me when we lived in New Jersey by another Coastie Wife. New Jersey was my first place away from home and the comforts. I was actually excited to learn this was pretty large on me which means I am smaller than I was in 2005!! But I couldn't get rid of it. I think it might be the ONLY thing I own that says "Coastie Wife". I supported my husband but I wasn't the type to wear CG gear all the time. I think I might have two T-shirts left and that's about it.
This is probably one of the oldest pieces of clothing I own. One of my great friends in high school went to Yale. He brought this home for me for Christmas. I wore it almost EVERY SINGLE DAY my Senior year of high school. I was pretty proud to have a friend who went to such a prestigious university. We are still friends. Well, I see his updates on FB. And his grandfather died when we lived in Houston and he visited. But it's still pretty cool I have a piece of clothing from Hartford, CT.
After this little project, the boys were starving. Off we went to lunch. Right next door to the place we ate was a backery. I thought I'd go in and buy Troy a cupcake. Oh good gravy, they wanted $5.00 for a small cupcake. I told Troy I could make him 24 cupcakes for the price of two of these cupcakes. Off to the store I went...
And that is what I made. I only made a dozen of them because it was close to dinner time. Josh and Troy said they were great.
Moving on to dinner. Troy requested spaghetti. The bad thing about my new eating lifestyle is pasta is a no go for me right now. But I wanted to make him whatever he wanted. So, I made spaghetti for the boys and a huge salad for me. I love cooking for them on the weekends. I miss cooking for them all week long.
