I think that I did un usually well yesterday getting things done.  The drawer that houses all our movies was falling apart. I set out on a mission.  There were a few different objectives.  One, fix the drawer.  Two weed through the movies and donate some.  Third, make room on the book shelf for some so the drawer won't be as likely to break agian.  Fourth, weed through the books so that there is room.

I managed to accomplish all objectives.  The drawer simply had some screws loose.  Kinda like a few people I know.  The down side is that everything had to come out to fix it.  I made enough room on the bookshelf for the Disney VHS.  I would love to get rid of all our VHS tapes, but I just can't bring myself to part with "Cinderella" and the like.  Not yet.  We now have three rather large stacks of books and movies to donate.  It always feels good to let go of somethings that are cluttering your life.

The million dollar question is why no matter how many bags and boxes of things we get rid of do we still have a full apartment?  Well I am going to keep going.  The more I get rid of the more room there will be for the baby.   Next will be the religious books and cookbooks, games and my closet.  I just need to convince my husband that holding on to clothes that don't fit  won't make you shrink back into them.

I have toyed with the idea of having a rummage sale instead of donating it all.  Or just donate what we don't sell.  I am just not sure if that is the best idea.  I would have to price everything and work the sale.  The money from it would be nice yet the idea of giving it over for God's work is very appealing.  I will have to see what the Hubby thinks about it .

The best part is that the children really love looking at what they have and picking out things to give away.    The real trick is keeping them out of it until it is donated or sold.  Who knows how much migrates back to their secret toy stash.
