I think this weekend its time to declutter.

I'm the declutter and my husband is the pack rat! Drives me nuts at times. I also had my daughter move out with my grandbaby and she took some but left lots here in her pigsty. I'm going thru it and trashing the junk, giving some away, saving for my moms yard sale and giving to the Salvation Army. I ran out of boxes thou. I'm gonna ask hubby tonight to see if he can get any while doing errands, its cold here so I decided I wasn't going! lol I have to say thou he puts up with all the books I have stacked waiting to read so I don't complain to much!

I'm doing some declutting this weekend, too! We just moved in another teen last week, and she's going to be sharing a room with my step-daughter. As a result, we've had to reduce a lot of the things in her room quite a bit - stuff that she's out-grown, broke, or isn't interested in anymore. I didn't realize how much had piled up until I started re-arranging things. LOL So, this has prompted me to finish decluttering the rest of the bedrooms while I'm at it.

i have been trying to take saturdays and do some serious cleaning in my house. each saturday we pick a room and go from there. i dont mind staying in during the winter, so i want to get the house all clean so when the warmer weather comes, we can spend our days outside!

Hey saundyl! Yes I most definitely was a pack rat! When my boyfriend moved in last year he needed some room in the closets and he finally got me to clean out everything and throw alot of things out finally. I have lived in my apartment for over 28 years and have collected way too much stuff! So I just started throwing things out and now I don't even know what I had anymore! It kind of felt good, but every now and then I am looking for something that I know I threw out that I am sorry that I did.

I am a big time pack rat. I hold on to the weirdest stuff for years and years because I think someone might need it again at some point. It was actually one of my New Years resolutions to stop being such a pack rat. I started cleaning out our spare bedroom with no mercy, throwing away or donating pretty much anything that hasn't been used in the last year. Next is the kitchen. My sister in law is moving out of her parent's house so we can give her everything we don't use.

I was thinking the sam thing. Great minds think alike =) But to answer your question, I am a terrible pack rat. I keep every little thing. I graduated college in 2005 and until this summer had every homework assignment, book, paper, blah blah...It was rediculous! I moved into a new apartment almost 2 years ago and we still have boxes sitting around to unpack. The main problem was that we went from a 3 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom apartment. I can't decide...because of another post I was kinda wanting to see if I could possibly get 100 posts done in a single day, but now I'm thinking that organizing would be a better use of my time. After all, I have a ton of baby clothes I could sell...just gotta dig them out! That alone would make me more money than mylotting 24 hours straight. ha ha. Happy cleaning! And pray I keep the motivation to do it, cause Lord knows it needs it BAD!!
