The kids all whine and blow off steam in their blogs, about their trials and each other. I'll only blow about myself here. But what I want to know is "Where is Alice?'. I doubt if Carol Brady could have wrangled all the closets and changing of the seasons without Alice. How could I be a stay at home mom for so many years and still be inept at the girls closets??? We are trying to get "the room formerly known as Jess's" ready for its new resident. So we had to go thru H's closet and then go Abby's old junk out while we were there, then clean up the floor, b/c who knows what treasures have been "lost" there. Yikes!! As of right now, I have huge lawn trash bag full of rejects to take to Goodwill and I haven't finished in Kat/Em's room.
So for the record, I want to state here and now that my dear husband has been right, yes, RIGHT for all these years. "The girls have too much stuff." If it doesn't bother them to "let go" of years and years of stuffed animals, then why should I be sad. We are binging and purging. It may just go with my current hormonal swing, but we are going to use it!! It's always good to clean before the Xmas shopping. I can't think of one thing that I want to add to these rooms. I don't want to think about the "American Girl" catalog that we got last week, tho. lol
So if any of you blog readers have young children and can listen to a wise old sage (like Mark) :), then don't save your kids clothes for more than 2 years, don't save every toy they ever got, and 3 toys that they love are way better than a room full of unused junk. Now that I've blogged this, then I can look back and remind myself of these truths.
BTW, I'm pretty safe admitting that JMS is RIGHT--I doubt if he reads this. Hope it hasn't been too whiny. Will go look for some cheese to go along with this whine. Stay tuned and if you see Alice, send her over to KC!! :)

At first I thought you were in "Wonderland!" ha! I was never good at cleaning and organizing, purging, etc. So, I now have 3 almost grown daughters who don't clean or organize or purge, either. Guess it's a genetic defect. ha! We had company over for "Sunday lunch" today and i didn't even get the floors swept or vacuumed! Pretty bad. But, I will say the food was good. :-) I'm getting snuggled on the couch with some ice cream and am about to watch the Astros try to defeat the Cardinals for the 3rd time in this series. Gotta go cheer on the 'Stros! :-) Take care and by the time you find Alice you could be finished with your purging! I've got confidence in you! :-)
