Yeah, I have tossed things that I shouldn't. I've tossed mail that I shouldn't, not very often though. Mostly I just get things like magazine subscription renewels and I think "I'll send this in later" and then I get another one and another one and pretty soon I have this stack of things that I'm GOING to get to but haven't yet ... lots of duplicates, my receipts from bills and payment, pay stubs, it all piles up, stuff that needs filed. I try to get to them weekly. I TRY! :)

Same with magazines ... my magazine rack runeth over! I don't want to get rid of them so now I have too many. Sometimes I go through them and pull out the articles that I want to save ... I do re-read them but I need to weed them out!

Mostly though I have things I want to get rid of and I stack them up to give away and it takes me a while to either list them on eBay or find someone that wants it. People were putting their garbage in the charity collection boxes (can you believe that?!) so they did away with them so now it's a big hassle to drop things off for good will.

I just have too much stuff to get rid of!!

Hi Jodi,
Doubt you're the only one that needs to de clutter ::blush::
However when it gets to tossing important stuff ::gasp::
We'll get there some day right?
Together as well :)

::blush:: No comment

Washing windows is just plain hard if you ask me Ann,
All that reaching, stretching not to metnion climbing ..
How often do you try to do yours?
Vacuuming & mopping are boring & tough to keep up with.
Moreso with animals I think .. what a PITA, LOL
How sad we must do these so often :)

I try to do my windows every three months, and it takes me about a month to do them all, lol! I plan to work them in with the cleaning I do when I'm in that room. But usually, by the time I'm done with the last of them, the ones I did first need cleaning! They just don't stay clean.

It's getting to be that time again, too ~sigh~

Oh Ann,
I feel your pain too well, LOL
It's true by time you finsih they are ready to be done again.
Every three months is not too bad ..
In fact I commend you on doing them so often.
Be very proud of you for being so conscientious :)

Yes I am a for real insomniac. Even when I was younger. I'm a big worrier & my mind is constantly in overdrive. I should probably be on meds but don't like taking them. I do get a little sleep but not enough.

It's not that I really enjoy cleaning all the time, it's just that I'm really anal & have to have everything just so. Not a fun way to be, but I have relaxed a little the past few years. I think I have, but hubby would not agree. God bless him for putting up with me & not putting his dirty clothes beside the hamper instead of in it. Although it took years to get him to close his dresser drawers all the way.

Do you have trouble sleeping too?
