[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 479119, member: 4264"] Sent 4 huge boxes of craft supplies to my neighbor. Kept none. It makes me sad to keep hoping to use it again now that I can use my hands anymore for painting and whatnot. My 6 drawer dresser is empty. Empty! My bedroom closet. Empty! Only about 30 books I can't bear to part with on the top shelf. Tomorrow I'll fold and hang and put away the clothes we are keeping. Matt's room is being gutted tomorrow. It will end up having nothing but our freezer. S/o is painting it next week and we will but a small bedroom set for guests. easy child took tons of old clOthes to a neighbor. Her room was always pretty well kept but those toys had to go. I emptied kitchen drawers and tossed more than half the stuff. S/o washes the drawers and I organized them. Whew! We have tons to do yet but we feel hope tonight. I am hocked how ruthless I became. I tossed like a mad woman. Didn't dawdle over a single decision. Now I hate that I have to stop because I'm in agony. Our goal is to have it ALL done in 2 weeks so that S/o can paint before Christmas. He is going to have his brother come and do the whole house in a weekend befor my birthday which is December first. Best part? I had my now deceased ex mother in law's family ring I gave her. Ex gave it to me when she passed. She was still wearing it when she died an had my kids pics in hr wallet. Hadn't seen it for years and cried and cried about it. She was much beloved. Found it in my chest and had a happy cry. It made the work today worth it. It never feels fun to start but boy it feels good when you see the progress. [/QUOTE]
