Home & Overwhelmed

I’m back home, and I found that my dad gave me one of his and Diana’s couches while I was gone. My couch (that I sleep on) was comfortable(my mattress is worthless), but the stuffing was coming out, and it looked ragged. He and Diana also cleaned, which was sweet. Unfortunately, they also dumped all my things in trash bags, along with the many things I have to review. They knotted those sacks up to where I have to rip the sides open. I cannot find anything, and I want to cry I’m so overwhelmed. You guys may be rolling your eyes, but I guess they thought rearranging things would be better for me? My dad also said don’t ask where anything is, just go find it. Guys, they emptied all my drawers and everything in the closets in a trash bag.
I’m really really grateful, and I’m also a little lost here.

Oh my goodness. Just WHY? I feel so sorry for you. Surely they meant well, but why???

@AmbiePam It was just such a weird thing to do. I don't understand it. And I know you're exhausted from your trip.

@1creekgirl I am, very exhausted. I guess I’ll start working on it after church tomorrow.

Oh, wow! I'm sorry that happened. They should have asked before they did anything in your home. I would be mad if somebody, even Pretty, did that to my bedroom, let alone the rest of the house. I have a particular place for everything and want everything in its place.
I'm glad you all made it home safely.

Oh wow..talk about killing with kindness!
I have to wonder about your family sometimes. At least you got a new couch out of the deal. What did they think you were going to wear?

Why did they do that? Did they feel you were too cluttered?

I guess they thought it looked neater in trash bags? It was all in one space, and that corner looked cluttered, but it was organized, and I had to have it there so I knew where everything was to review. They now mixed it with everything from the closets (which were absolutely not cluttered at all), and my drawers. Maybe they did think it was cluttered, but my apartment is small, and I had to take on some of my mom’s stuff when my dad got remarried, and Diana needed the room. It was all neatly done, but apparently they thought they knew better.

What an unpleasant surprise to come home to.
