May Declutter Club

[AnnieClaus]

SparkleNana- I will post because I am excited to get things going.

I may take it easy next week as the week after Relay I'm usually pretty worn out.

By next weekend, though, I'll be back to normal.

Wednesday, May 16th!

You know what???? Baby Steps are SLOW!!!!!!

Well.... it IS Baby Steps. In the kitchen.... clearing things out.... to get ready for "Summer Eating". Salads. Fruit smoothies. Lots of ice water and other cold drinks.

Decluttering the bathroom. Getting things ready for LOTS of quick showers. Bug spray. Sunscreen.

Clearing off the back porch. The back porch has been my "baby plant nursery". Handy to bring things inside if there was a "freeze warning". Place to grow plants from seed... with daily watering. And.... it stopped functioning as a "place to sit and eat"... and became a "working space". That is done now. Now I have to change it back into a pleasant-looking place... for relaxing!

Well, I got everything ready for the garage sale. Washed, spruced up, matched up, tagged and sorted into neat stacks in totes for transport to my friends house.

Now the sale is off

She has been home sick with a bad case of bronchitis all week and is just not going to be up to having a sale this weekend. Sooooo....I have to decide what to do now.

We are on the Dave Ramsey plan right now and I just can't bear the thought of skipping the sale all together. Our house is in a rural area and is just not a good place for a sale.

So I'm going to talk to MIL who lives in town and see if we could do a joint sale sometime in the next month. (sigh)

I was looking forward to getting it over with this weekend. But, alas, it was not to be!

Baby Steps are moving as slowly.... as a glacier!!!!!

However..... I seem to have been given a gift of..... grace to have patience! WOW!!! What a wonderful gift!!! I don't know how long it will last....... but it certainly makes everything.... so much better and more fun!!!!!!!

Slowly changing over the kitchen.... for "summer eating". Dh developed a tummy ache yesterday afternoon.... just "not feeling good". On the way home from dd's...... we stopped and I ran into the grocery store..... for ramen noodles and Seagrams ginger ale. (Dh can "tell the difference" in ginger ales. And he wants Seagrams.) I cooked him two packages of noodles at once.... with lots of the yummy veggi butter. And he sprinkled on "just part" of one of the flavor packs. This morning... he felt all better! Sometimes.... having.... just what you want.... makes all the difference!!!!!

So now,,, I have ramen noodles and ginger ale..... in the summer kitchen.... along with all the "healthy stuff". Still reorganizing and "spring cleaning" the kitchen. Lots to do. "Patience" makes it much better!

My Decluttering is starting with my car trunk!

I got a flat tire yesterday and had a lot of miscellaneous things in my trunk!

Yikes! Had to get it out of there to get to the spare.

So, hauled it all into the house last night. Now to go through. Most of it can be tossed.

Got my garden shed cleaned and decluttered this last week so I am ready for garden season to take off, hope to have lots of veggies to pack up to go to the Farmers Market this summer. Thinking I might work on my basement today since it reallly needs some decluttering...and it is raining!

I am doing MAJOR decluttering this month now that I know we are moving. I must have sent 5-7 bags of trash out yesterday alone. Last night DH asked me if I was throwing away anything he might miss and I told him to let me know what he was missing and I'll let him know if I threw it away. :0) Mean I know, but isn't that what black trash bags were made for?

Wow, you ladies are doing the darn thing. Keep it up! I'm in the back cheering you on.
