Declutter...Purge.... Organize

It seems like after you take down all the pomp and glitz
of the holidays

.. a person is ready to "clean" house - or maybe its just me.

It amazes me how many meaningful treasures,  I mean crap,
 I still have even after the kids have moved out
- I think they took what they wanted and left the rest for me to deal with.

In  recent conversation with one of my children,
I brought up what I was doing

and that I was going to get rid of skates, sleds,etc
that apparently they didn't want............ 

I was told ,well, maybe you'll want to keep a sled or two..

..so when your grandchildren come to visit....

..Oh my pulling the grandparent guilt card..

...ok miss smartypants....so now what do you say...hmmm

..if and when that happens we'll go buy a new one
...yup that was a gd one!

It is interesting how just getting rid of 6 bags of thrift store donations

and 2 bags of trash and a bag off to one of the children

......makes you feel more comfortable.

First floor done..next week upstairs and the week after that the dreaded basement
