Clearing out

I have a love/hate relationship with moving. I love going to start over somewhere else. I love the adventure of it. I hate the logistics of it--shipping the car, when to ship all our household goods, what to keep in our smaller shipment, turning off utilities, cleaning the house to clear the landlord, etc. That's all just a ton of work really quickly--it can be quite stressful. But the thing I am loving the most right now is clearing the clutter. It feels so good to get rid of all the old clothes that don't fit anyone, getting rid of toys no one plays with, getting rid of all the "treasures" the kids collect and then forget about. So far I have done all the kids clothes, Katie's room, and half of Meghan's and I have gotten rid of 3 garbage bags of trash and 6 garbage bags of things have been donated to the thrift shop!!! It feels great! Yes, I still have a bunch to do, but what a good start. Speaking of which... I'm off to the abyss that is Meghan's room:)
