I need to make a plan of attack. What am going to attack? This house. I have many failed attempts, half finished lists. Long story short is, we just have way too much stuff.
We got rid of a lot of movies earlier this spring at a community garage sale. I’ve been meaning to have one in the summer, and well here it is the first of September. The next few weekends are already booked with my mother coming to visit and doing some more maternity photography. I think maybe the 16th would be a good day however somewhere in there I have to collect a bunch of crap to get rid of to mix with what didn’t sell in the Spring. Maybe having mom here will be good because she can entertain the baby while I do some work in each room. There are some books, some more cds, lots of bits and pieces, probably some computer stuff that Kev is no longer wanting. We have a juicer from his grandparents that is brand new never used (we already have one of our own) I’ll have to figure out what day and then go for it.
The new plan will be one room at a time starting at the top and working my way down. My bedroom and the nursery are pretty low clutter but there is some stuff that can go either the way of the garbage, donation box or sale. The guest room has a lot in it. I just went through and sorted everything, cleared off the bed. There is at least 3 small bags in there of things to go to the garage sale.
But that’s the plan. If I can weasel the time we’ll see if I can stick to it. I really hate the clutter and it’s making me a bit twitchy.
