Crazy

I am going crazy with getting rid of stuff.. I have been going through everything under my bathroom sinks since there is no room to put anything else!!  I found things that have not been used since we moved here 2 1/2 years ago.. I'm tossing it all.. Some have expiration dates and some don't.. but I know all of it is old and I don't want to put that on my skin or hair..

So I'm doing under the sinks, my pantry, garage and the second garage that is full of boxes still.. It needs to be done and if I follow my plan of doing a little every day I will get through it..

When I sold my house years ago.. I had so much stuff. My ex left a ton of stuff.. asked me to keep it for him and then refused to take it when I was ready to move.. I think we were all packrats.. plus I had all kinds of things stored for my preschool.. I spent a year going through things an hour or two at a time every week.  I would put everything out in the carport and then Peter would come over and haul it all away on the weekend.. That was very cleansing for me.. I've moved twice since then and still have things to get rid of even though with each move I've tried to go through things.. On our last move we had very little time to do anything except for big items and clothes we gave to charity so it all got moved here.. and that's why I have a single car garage full of stuff.. some I will want to keep.. but there is so much I can do without.  Maybe I've been watching too many shows of Hoarders.. I just never want to be like that.. Peter is good.. he likes to do what he calls editing.. I'm getting that way too..
