I actually did open that closest yesterday and I was trying to hurry and go through the stuff quickly, but that didn't happen esp. with dd who wants desperately to be a packrat-(I am trying hard to get her to throw things out...not to be like my mom who has 129 boxes she finally put into storage of useless things like my nieces first dollar store plastic baby tub-LOL!!!). So, first we had to finally put up the videos. Then we went through dd's winter clothes to see what she could fit. Fortunately she can fit everything, including the coat. I always by big but at the rate dd is growing I wasn't sure!

Then I finally tackled THE PICTURE TUB-(sound of horror music playing)!!! That took several hours because dd was attached to every little piece of art work she had ever done and I just wanted to pick out a few pieces and throw the rest away. I had saved all this stuff and didn't have any more room for anything! I also finally took all the loose pictures and put them in a box and grouped the giant picture envelopes together and then put it back into the closest. Now, I'll I have to do is take our winter clothes up stairs and put them in our closests/dressers.

We finally finished at 1:00 am. Thank goodness it wasn't a school night and we didn't even notice how much time had passed, I just knew I was dead tired!!!

Today, I have to go get my niece a Halloween costume at the Goodwill and take dd to her free Tae Kwan Doe lessons. I have to go through my grocery list. This is the first time that it's grocery time and I don't have room in the freezer or fridge for much, not even on the shelf. So, I will buy the bulk items, a few other items because of the 10 for $10 sale, and some fresh veggies and just shop when I need too. Trust me, this has never happened before. My fridge usually looks empty for a long time before I go grocery shopping, so this is great!!!

Oh, and congrats on the place! I know how it feels to be squeezed!!!
