daily shit in the can

[heygrey]

what did you sell/donate/toss today?

Today was a great day- we're staging stuff for our garage sale. We took out a treadmill, two couches, 3 chairs, and 3 boxes of clothing!

Nothing exciting today. I washed several empty storage bins that H once used for gardening and that now are empty. I love me some new storage bins so that's all well and good, but I had to toss one that was cracked on the bottom. Fortunately it can go in the recycling bin.

Late last night I went through our tub of wrapping supplies and toss a lot of old gift bags. Today I tossed some yard decor and seat covers from one of our cars. To the cleaning side of things I took off our front steps, sanded and painted them.

i didn't get rid of anything, but i put up our clothesline so that rope is out of the house. and now my clothes can smell like sunshine :-)

I'm feeling totally buried in crap in my house, and came here hoping for help digging out, but you all with your efficiency and your getting rid of stuff gave me a complex. So I scooped up the pile of newspapers, magazine and junk mail that's been collecting in the corner of my dining room and got it into the recycling bin.

Baby steps, right?

btw, I posted mostly on SO and MM and PCE. Widowed, 2 teenage boys whom I complain about a lot. Because they're totally ... teenagers.

MBJ - I don't remember you from PCE (did you have a different SN?) but thanks for sharing your boards, that was a good idea. I'll start a new thread so we can all ID ourselves.

No - I've been me since I've been on TN, but I sort of misspoke. I lurked on PCE, but only posted there a couple of times. I posted mostly on MM. But I wasn't a bigtime poster in the first place. If people know me, it's probably because there's only a couple of widows so we're easy to keep track of.

So, in the spirit of getting-to-know-you-getting-to-know-all-about-you, I'm 55, have 2 teenage sons, 3 cats and a dog. My biggest character flaw is that I drink way too much diet coke. And I'm a slob.

But at least today the newspapers are out of the house! Just in time for the Sunday paper.

Nothing...I feel like a C&O failure lately. We poured a patio today and I had 5 kids in my house while all the guys worked. I didn't have the energy to clean knowing they would destroy it again and after habing 5 kids in my house all day I just don't have the energy to do anything but sit on the couch.

Two bags of books and a ziplock with several pairs of earrings and necklaces went to a pile in the garage that I'm making to donate to the County Animal Shelter "flea market" over the weekend.

We are preparing for a family garage sale next weekend. I have a bunch of stuff in the basement that I have to go through (kids clothes, adult clothes, toys, etc) so that's on the books. However, today I have just cleaned up the shit that accumulates day to day. Mail, flyers, garbage, etc. Since we have moved (April) I don't like anything cluttering tables, countertops, chairs, etc. Everything has a place. So, basically from the time I walk in the door until the time I go to bed, I am following my family around cleaning up after them!
