Release

Release! Release! Release! I am trying to get rid of stuff but I am tired. I have gone through everything that I brought down from the attic yesterday. I worked up there about 20 minutes this morning and brought a couple of bags, 1 box, and 1 bin. I think that I am finished with the things that I bagged and boxed up from the girls' rooms during many dash and stash sessions. I have bags from my hot spots, bedroom and living room during dash and stashes still left in the attic that I need to go through. I feel good about the attic but no one else would even know that I have worked hard because they would have no idea how really terrible it was before! It still looks junky but at least I can start to walk around up there without stepping on stuff, and climbing over boxes and bags. :) It can be discouraging but I am just going to keep encouraging myself and tell myself that every little bit I get out of there helps!

Then next week I need to start switching clothes for spring and summer from fall and winter for all 3 girls and myself. I am going to donate stuff and get things ready for the Fall Consignment Sale. (We are going to stay home next week. DH says that the President and Owner of his company wants to ride with him. That works out great for me because I am on a roll! I can't work in the attic during the summer because it is way too hot and it makes me feel faint and nauseous!

Then I look toward the back of the attic (deep dark cave) and see all of my school stuff! Ugh! I have a sense of dread and feel panicky just thinking about that stuff! It will be difficult but I can do it! (In 2 weeks!) :) I am going to work on that area while DH is in England.

You are right Nicole! It has not helped me that we have not moved in 13 years! I am starting to think that if I get rid of stuff then it will free up time and space and show DH that I am serious about wanting to add on to our house. We just can't think about it because of all of the junk and financial reasons. If the house is ready for remodeling then we can get ready for saving money. At least that is my hope!

Release! Release! Release! :)
