For the last 2 days I haven't done much to make a big dent in the whole project but there were a few things that I did do here they are...
1. Threw away some things I came across in my everyday life that I just didn't need.
2. Sorted through the extra swing set stuff we have that the kids either wouldn't use or were in too rough a shape for them to use, and threw them away.
So like I said not much, but my husband and I are both pretty sick right now and just got to the Dr's on Wednesday and started some much needed antibiotics. Hopefully we will be feeling much better soon and can get to some big progress down in the basement.
But I felt like today I wanted to do something to make progress on this big task again. At the same time it's so daunting down there that I feel like I need my husbands help with it. With all but one area of it I should say. So that area.... my "Fat Clothes" and my "Skinny Clothes."
My "Fat Clothes" also include my maternity items that we aren't quite ready to part with yet, and clothes that I wore after having my first baby when I was HUGE. After the second baby I went straight from maternity clothes to basically my old clothes. So if we ever (and don't read into that too much Nana, Grandpa, Grammie, and Papa it's a big IF), have another baby I plan to take the rout I did with the second and gain not as much weight and be able to go from maternity to regular clothes.
My "Skinny Clothes" are all the clothes I have kept from before I had my first baby 6 years ago.... Umm Yeah...
I'm very close to fitting comfortably into my pre-baby clothes but because of that I can see that most of the styles and cuts of pants are really not in style or in MY style anymore. So I tried to be very honest with myself about what I want to keep and what I don't.
As part of the clothing sorting I also went through, my closet, under bed storage, and all my dresser drawers. The results.... A very big pile of clothes that I'm getting rid of.
I still haven't gone through our "Formal Closet" That has my husbands suits, and a few fancy dresses of mine. Some of those dresses I have had since High School. Come on now. I'm 30 years old! Do I really need to keep dresses from high school. I should think NOT. So I still have that to do later today but I think this has been worth it.
I ended up getting rid that huge pile of clothes you saw (not sure if I'll try to see some of them or just take them all to the city mission or not yet), and making room in every drawer of my dresser and I now have one bin of maternity clothes (with some extra space at the top), and one under the bed storage unit that has a few of the clothes (that I do want to keep that are still a little sung) and some out of season stuff.
So success!
