how about we just organize instead?
katie,annie and mickey are coming over today to help me de-crap. and i am totally afraid. mostly of katie. she is ruthless. i know she would throw it all away if she could. annie said she would mediate. but i am still unsure of how mediating she will be. she likes to throw things out too. and mickey? well i think she may just want to take all my stuff home with her--at least all of the good stuff. i am not sure if i can part with my crap. i just don't know. it is a big step. i hope i am not emotional about it. i better go out and get started before they get here. maybe i can hide stuff?

I get ridiculously attached to things I don't need either. I blame my dad. When they moved out of their home of 15 odd years I tried to send everything to DI but my dad kept getting mad and pulling things back out of the DI pile. Now they realize they don't miss anything that went. I would like to do a good purge but I unfortunately don't have a DI (or a car) to drop everything off at so it all remains shoved in closets. Take a deep breath and only take what you need. It will be a fresh start - less to organize on the other end! Good luck!!!
I understand your fear, but you really have asked the best crew to come and help you. My basement is chock full of things that I should have had Katie throwing out before we moved here. I think you should err on the side of throwing stuff out, but perhaps you should go and get drunk before you start. It might make it a little easier....
i'm very experienced in "organizing". We've done it for my mom many times. I love the comment above-- I think a few drinks would not only make it easier but FUN!!!
Someone forgot the drinks! But, we still have time. And, there have only been tears once! Yet again, we still have time! Liz, I love you, but, you have WAY TOO MUCH STUFF! You and mom are too much a like. (Which is not a bad thing, only in the keeping stuff department!) More updates to follow!
Personally I think today went very well. Mickey really did want to take everything home with her. I found it really ironic because of the stress that extra junk has been causing her. You did good today and I really did try to be sincere in my chucking. Most of the stuff I threw away is stuff you'll never miss. I promise. I'm sure I'll get blamed if something ends up missing. Grammie still blames me.
Dan pretty much changed the settings on my computer today. The above is compliments of me. Katie
I didn't think that sounded like me. And I really couldn't remember throwing anything out.
HA!! HA!! i REALLY did know in my heart of hearts, one of you three girls were like ME!!! i Am sorry Liz, but I do feel much better now, knowing my genes will carry forth. DON't break the cycle! Mother Clucker
you did great liz i am proud of you and me for not taking some of those items i really wanted. want to come help me dejunk now that i am here? my mom did yesterday[we couldn't find the sewing stuff and so we started unpacking boxes to find it and i just started a pile of i'm tired of this stuff and i got rid of stuff---what's next?] and it was ironic that i couldn't get rid of stuff in lake point and then yesterday i did!
