I'm so proud--can I share?

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
last week and this week, I have semester break. Well, I decided my house needed to get under control. It's been amazing. I have gotten rid of so much stuff that we didn't need. I can now sit and relax in the family room. My children had several friends over on Friday night to watch a movie--something that has not been allowed due to the state of our house.

Anyway, today I did the toy closet. I just filled my mom's car with at least 20 bags for goodwill (white kitchen trash bags) and I filled at least 6-8 large black trash bags for trash. : And, I still have some boxes to go through. It is amazing. I feel so free! I feel like I've lost 20 pounds at least!!

I think in the past 1 1/2 weeks, I have gotten rid of at least 40 bags of stuff to goodwill, and at least 16 trashbags. I feel so good. I wish I had even more time to finish all the work, but I am really proud of what I have gotten done. My house is looking so much better, I can enjoy my house, my kids can have friends over, I can have friends over, and I know that other people can use what I no longer need.

thank you everyone. The den and toy closet had become the junk room and since the kids really hadn't played with the stuff for at least a year (since they couldn't get to it!), it was a lot easier to go through it.

I might just have to go down and look at it a few times today.
