throw out 50 things :: items 21 - 25

Last week, 7 was looking for a notebook. A very specific notebook. I told him that I would keep an eye out for it, but if we cleaned his room, we would probably find it.

In fact, I continued, if we started to *pack up* his room, we might really find it. Lo and behold, 7 was all over that. He immediately wanted to start boxing up his belongings (the things he doesn't use or need currently) and get them ready for the move.

I jumped at the chance, and 7's room is now full of boxes. Can you tell how badly our little family just wants to be in our new home already?!

Anyhow, I managed to 'throw out' a few things from 7's room; my gosh, that kid is a hoarder...


Item #21
Cleaned out extras from the costume box (never get worn)
-- goodwill



Item #22
Empty boxes (from 7's room)
-- recycled



Item #23
Miscellaneous stuff (not loved, used, or needed anymore)
-- goodwill



Item #24
Clothing from my closet (the tip of the iceberg)
--goodwill



Item #25
Random trash from 7's room
-- trash







I'm eager to really go through my own things. However, I need a day with uninterrupted time: no drop offs & pick ups, no baseball, no gymnastics, no meal-preparing or laundry, no refereeing arguments between 4 and 7...

I'm sure I'd get rid of a whole lotta stuff. Until then, it will continue to be a little at a time...

  1. Throwing things away, packing, and moving can be such a stressful time :( Fortunately, it is only temporary. Is it looking like you'll be in your new house by the end of May?
