Because I can't figure out how to scratch my itch, I'm going through our storage again. Mind you, I'm happy to say that it's already been "gone through". We keep very little "stuff". The stuff we have are boxes of Christmas decorations, boxes of fall decorations- I love them and don't feel guilty for keeping them at all. I have a husband and 4 kids and friends and family that I love, and it's very fun making my house homey for them. My spring downfall is fake flowers. :) I don't feel bad keeping them either.
I have just gone through another 5 boxes. My yearbooks are in the garbage because I just don't care. Who cares? God, we're all so wasteful. I didn't throw Cullen's yet because I don't have his okay. The kid stuff is harder to go through. Old report cards...I threw em. Every year it's new and different, right? Mom gave me a pile of my old stuff- I can't decide if I should let it go or keep it for my kids, grandkids...they won't care either, right? They would get "me"...almost all of me, if they ever read this blog. Someday, before I die, I should take up bloggers offer to make this shit in print. Okay, that helped. I can get rid of all that stuff. So pictures, precious pictures they have drawn, in the garbage. I'm so sorry, kids. I'm sorry, Universe. There are thousands- literally- of pictures. I have 4 kids. Everything comes home with them from school, it's nuts. Anyway- this feels good. I have to keep real photos, of course, Cullen's baseball card collection...but I'm getting rid of some really good stuff. I just don't think a garage sale is worth it, so it'll just go to Savers. Go Team Keep Nothing! Think how nice it will be when we go live in our RV some day... ;)
