Spring Cleaning

Here I am in the middle of "spring cleaning" and I need to blog, I have to, I'm craving it and I need to complain. I've wanted to clean out the closets and every inch of my house for a long time now. I'm think the nesting instinct didn't go away when Kadie was born, which isn't a bad thing. You see I'm a pack rat, a terrible, terrible pack rat. I still have small collections from when I was a child. I have a hard time letting go. Maybe its because my family couldn't afford much when I was young and I savoured everything I received. I don't know. Spring cleaning is a huge ordeal for me. I start out really good, slowly but surely I go back to my old habits of what if I need this or what about the memories this item holds or I could use this in some sort of craft (which I never do get too, I have old jeans to prove it). Clothes is a hard one as well, I keep all my old clothes just in case I want to wear them again. Yeah right I will, some of them I don't fit anymore (yes its true, Celine is to big for some things now, hard to believe but true :) ), some are so not me anymore and some are definitely not in style right now. The hardest of all the clothes are the evening/formal dresses, you know grad and bridesmaid dresses. You've paid a lot more money for them and for that reason its hard to let go. Sigh, life is hard and complicated. What to do, yes I do know the answer, just grab them up and get them out. I won't miss them, I know, I will go into more classical pieces if I ever do need that item again. Now I feel like I'm just blabbering on. Anyways that's what I'm feeling and doing at this moment. Now I can get back to work. Complaining and having a pity party can sometimes do oneself good. Thanks for listening.
