So very excited...its actually supppose to be around 70 today and sunny.

Spent the entire day yesterday moving DD#1. She actually has all of Remy's school bags...wait they aren't called that anymore..they're backpacks..starting with the Spiderman one I bought him when he started kindergarden and they are all full of his books from that particular year. So there were four full backpacks.

All his little craft projects and pictures etc were in large manila envelopes, I guess its a good thing she only has one child. When I'd ask her why she was keeping something she'd just tell me pack it...I'll go through all this later. I think the girl has a serious problem and I'm thinking of having a "fly lady intervention". This move has been an eye opener and will give very serious thought to anything I buy for either one of them in the future.

I'm also affraid that DGS is on the same path and we all know how serious that can be in a male. At one point I said to her...I can imagine somewhere down the road, moving Remy into his first home and him having one room devoted entirely to his childhood collections of toys.

I have maybe two drawers in a dresser with items from the kids childhood days and I know I have one box of "stuff" belonging to DS that I keep trying to get him to take..The one area I need to get back too is the "picture collection". Will no longer have double prints made...we need a new camera and I like the idea of the digital kind where you only print out what you want.

Well I need to go exercise....wishing you all a good day.

Val

Hello Val! I am married to one of those males,(as in packrat!lol) He has a shed/workshop full of who knows what or why he's keeping it. At least, its not in the house.

Hugs, Jackie

Val, you are describing my DH!! You should see this office where I am sitting! All of his *stuff* and I am not allowed to get rid of anything! I am sure he is personally responsible for the destruction of at least one old growth forest with all the paper he has in here! Don't get me started! KaCee

Poof!!! I'm gone!!
