Take Ali to co op, turn the music up loud and go on a rampage through the house and count it as your exercise/break from your child. It's such a mood booster to me. And I have a clean house when it's all done.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17321572932421628197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6962475627394794269.post-7195102834554564512010-10-11T21:29:42.021-07:002010-10-11T21:29:42.021-07:00Just put it all in boxes and it will be like Chris...Just put it all in boxes and it will be like Christmas all over again when you move and try to unpack!

Don't listen to Cathy. She doesn't...Bina,<br /><br />Don't listen to Cathy. She doesn't have minimum 2-3 moves looming above her head (assuming you move for more training, and move 1-2 times until Scott finds the perfect job.)<br /><br />Think about the cost of ownership - every item you'll eventually have to move has both an emotional, physical and financial cost. The less you have, the less stressed you will feel when it's time to move.<br /><br />Who wants to move breakables? random collectables? I'm not saying get rid of the calico critters, but i'm sure there is so much other stuff you can live without. <br /><br />There are so many THINGS in the world. Clear your head by cleaning out your closets. You can always rebuy someday when you have your mansion.<br /><br />Don't don't don't don't keep it. For me, I struggle with focusing on a certain task, and it's even more difficult to focus when i'm surrounded by too much stuff, messes, etc. <br /><br />We are reflooring, repainting our whole house and again i'm asking myself, why on earth we have all this junk??!!! okay, i'm getting off the computer now and going to sort. <br /><br />watch hoarders or other organizing shows for motivation.Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02013007707760185191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6962475627394794269.post-4051597011615749862010-09-08T16:06:45.573-07:002010-09-08T16:06:45.573-07:00Ha!! Here is my Rebuttal ... Store it!! (within ...Ha!! Here is my Rebuttal ... Store it!! (within reason)<br /><br />Obviously, if you can't see a purpose for an item, or ever using it, get rid of it or have a yard sale. I agree with Suz, you have to LOVE it. You will eventually be in a bigger house, so it only makes sense to store the items that you would miss later.<br /><br />BUT, I guess I can be termed an organized 'hoarder.' I have a LOT of decorations and collections. My rule of thumb is, if you have a collection, you need to honor it, or sell it. Thus, our cookie jar shelf, our bobble heads lining the window sill, and our crown molding of star wars characters. It is all just junk, but I love it, and they are honored. ;-)<br /><br />We have a lot more storage in this house than in previous houses. I think we were more careful with our purchases with less storage space. We also had access to a lot of basements in Utah. <br /><br />The key is you have to LOVE it. I stored 'skinny' clothes for 5 years. I finally fit into them, but I didn't want to wear them because the styles change, and I just like to be comfy. I finally got rid of them ;-)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820918788363015171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6962475627394794269.post-17404155378862651192010-09-08T11:26:03.821-07:002010-09-08T11:26:03.821-07:00Sell or get rid of it all!!!

Get rid of crafts your not using, toys Ally doesn't play with and your house will be easier to clean. I need to tackle my garage and Timmy's closet. It does NOT get easier w/ more space, it actually gets HARDER because there are more secret cracks and crevices for the clutter to hide.<br /><br />Have a yard sale. I love sitting out w/ all my junk and at the end of the day having a huge wad of cash to go blow! If you do it w/ a friend it's even more fun, because you can make fun of the people who want to pay 10 cents instead of 25 cents for perfectly good items. <br /><br />YOU can do it.
