Letting go

Why oh why is it so hard to let go? Okay, I know some of you are fine with letting go. My husband is one of those people. I will admit that I am some one who finds it most difficult to let go and it turns out I have passed this on to some of my children. This last week Samantha who use to be as bad as me about letting go informed me she needed to deep clean and get rid of "stuff". Oh the joy that Jeff felt. So that is what we did. Everyday this week for at least two hours we were up stairs purging. We got rid of eight bags of good will and four big bags of garbage. We also moved winter stuff down stairs to totes. I feel I should explain the girls room for you who haven't seen it. The three girls share a room that use to be an attic. When you first go in two closets line a small hallway. It was out of one of these closets we got our first three bags of good will. Then there is the space where the toddlers beds are. This is the most open part of the room. It also houses Samantha's table and most of the toys. Then there is a small step up that is the dividing line in the room. Samantha's bed and special stuff is there. No little girl is allowed past unless she has permission. Okay now the pictures may mean more to you. As I looked at these pictures I loved the progress made, but still see room for improvement. I think we have a problem with stuffed animals! The last big mess in the room is mine. It is the stuff that needs to be moved from upstairs to down stairs. Guess what that means! I need to go through down stairs stuff. I guess there always next week.
