Nesting

I go through periods of having this major need to de-junk my house. I get all claustrophobic just knowing that I have majorly messy, junk-filled drawers and cabinets. I am not what you would call a pack rat or anything, but to me it feels like just that. So this week I have been going crazy with the thought that my house has accumulated way too much junk. I am always thinking...man we sure do bring a lot of "stuff" into the house, but not much ever leaves...hence, my claustrophobia. I just told Jason that I am going to need a big house to live in so that I don't feel crowded all the time...especially with a big family! He laughed, of course, and told me that this was something I was going to have to work out on my own. So my manipulation didn't work, darn it! Moving a million times like we have has also helped with getting rid of a bunch of stuff that we don't need. Yesterday I went on a mad rampage through the house and threw a ton of stuff out. Today I am planning on working on my clothes...this is a major, major task. I'm sure every girl feels the same way, but for me it is really hard to give away clothes. I mean what if I would want to wear it sometime in the future?? Even though I haven't even thought about that particular item in over a year..or even two years for that matter?? And in all actuality if I haven't worn it in that long it's probably out of style anyways so I just need to get over it! So really, Sandy, just get over you strange obsession with holding onto all your old clothes!! I do need more room in my drawers anyways...then I can buy new stuff :-) As a disclaimer I have to add that I do go through my clothes pretty regularly and get rid of a lot of stuff, but there are still those articles that I am still holding onto just in case...those are the ones I need to just get over and finally give away!! I'm sure Jason will be ecstatic to be reading this right now, right??
