Overwhelming.....

So....I did like 5 hours of cleaning in this small office yesterday, and it isn't even done. I went through all my scrapbook supplies and threw out 2 full boxes and 2 large trash bags of stuff. Not to mention we have had this growing bag of "shred" stuff we have never actually shred  (some of it is from when we got married 6 years ago, I found it in the garage) so embarrassing some of the crap I am finding :/ BUT we actually have a shredder now so I was busting through this huge bag with Story last night. She kept saying "Oh my he is really hungry, this robot!", "Feed him more he was starving!!!" and then, I should have known this was gonna happen...it heated up and refused to "eat" one more old bill, receipt, or pre-approved credit card application. Story exclaimed "Oh, no more mommy....he is full!" She picked it up (it is a cheapo that sits on top of a garbage can) and cradled it "He's got a really bad tummy ache. There there it's okay robot. Does your tummy hurt?" I love that kid,. She makes me smile so much.

So I am still in my scrapbook room/ office, trying to not get overwhelmed. Mostly it isn't too bad. I have a long white shelf (that is empty ), a computer I am hucking (it was a hand-me-down hand-me-down...we have had it since before we got married, we never know the password just to boot it up, who knows what is on it...Story used it for a little while but I couldn't find any programs on it....I think the only thing I could open was notepad and paint...and AJ wants to try to sell it....I am vetoing his decision and trashing it!) there is a desk which is part of the bunk bed we are selling because Story hated it, and then a few boxes of small random crap I have to go through. So after I get the three big things out, it won't seem as bad. It has only been three days....three days a room...I SHOULD be done before the 5th of June.

We are gonna have a HUGE yard sale so if you need any of the following....come on by in about 2 weeks (well, 1 and 1/2 weeks now) we will have a three piece bunk bed set complete with dresser, bunks, desk and cubbies; a crib, infant car seat (really good condition), changing table, stroller that goes with the car seat, shelving, paper racks, clothes, a fish tank with supplies, and tons of other really cool stuff that I don't even know about yet.

  3. Sounds like you had an eventful day. :)It also sounds like you need to learn to digital scrapbook so you don't have a bunch of crap to throw out! If you want to learn how, let me know. I'll be teaching Steph and Amber soon. :)
