time to "declutterfy"

oh my. oh. my. OH MY.  I am too organized a person for our house to be this messy aka "clutterfied."  It's so bad that I had to come up with a word to describe it, and it describes it well!  As you all know by now, I have started selling old clothes and household goods on eBay and am doing pretty good at it - at least one item sold per week, but this new "business" is quickly adding to the clutter! I am slowly but surely collecting older goods from anywhere and everywhere I can get my hands on things: Goodwill and other thrift stores, friends, family, and even dumpsters.  How does the age-old saying go again? "One man's trash is another man's treasure?"  Well it certainly is for us - except the treasure is money in our pockets!  All well and good (how could it not be), but "stuff" is taking over this house!

They don't call it spring cleaning for nothin', and I am getting ready to get rid of it all.  Baby toys, clothing of all sizes, books, blankets, pillows, decorations, knickknacks of all shapes and sizes - they all seem to find permanent homes at our house (like the coffee table or computer room).  Spring cleaning has officially hit the Lee household. FUN FUN.  Now I know why my mama always said she needed eight arms to get everything done! I need eight arms and two more dedicated, hard-working people to accomplish this monstrous task! ;)
seriously, martha? an ENTIRE box of snacks? FIVE pacies? THREE books? TWO bugsprays? TWO hand sanitizers? ok, yeah. two hand sanitizers. you can never have too much of that stuff!! ridiculous. the best part: there's not a single diaper in my diaper bag!!

Take a look at all of the "necessities" carried around in my diaper bag. No wonder my back's been hurtin!  I'm pretty embarrassed to even be telling this on myself, so I will skip the condition of the guest room and garage (don't even mention the backyard). Seriously yall, I am about to PURGE EVERYTHING!! Get. me. outta. here!!
