Crohn's Disease, a chronic disease of the digestive system traditional presented itself in a person's early 20's. Not anymore. This disease has made its way to children. I have an adult son who was diagnosed at the age of 14 and a daughter diagnosed at 9. This is our journey as we work through medical treatment plans, parenting a children with a chronic disease and the impact on the family dynamics.

Purging
Purging is my favorite thing! No, I'm not talking about food. The best thing I took from the flylady program was getting rid of stuff. Giving things away that I wasn't using and had not been using for more than 6 months did several things for me. First, it opened up space and relieved me from the responsibility of maintaining that item. Did you ever have to dig through boxes and boxes to find what you wanted? Then, you have to put everything back and maybe you found what you wanted or maybe you didn't, but all that time and clean up is the price you pay for maintaining that something. In most cases, it's easier to go buy a new one, borrow one or be more creative. During a weekly challenge, I was able to get rid of 1000 lbs. of stuff in my basement and make a room and buy a bed for my son with the proceeds from the garage sale. What didn't sell the first time gets given away!
