Time To Lighten Up!

Our house officially went up on the market last week. The task now is to look around the area we want and find a house we like. The even bigger task we have at this moment is to do my very favorite thing: Go through the house and get rid of crap!

This is easier said than done because unfortunately for me, Jason is a huge packrat. I absolutely can't stand it. I'm all for getting rid of useless items and things that I just don't use anymore. Jason has the "Just in case" mentality. He's willing to keep things like old twist-ties and CD cases because you just never know if you'll need them! I mean really, do you really need two mixers? As for me, I've already sold my old textbooks and I'm about to hit the linen closet to get rid of a bunch of bed sheets. Then I'm hitting the kids' closet and if I haven't seen them play with a toy in 6 months, it goes.

So this week will be spent twisting Jason's arm to get rid of his crap. The way I see it, he has two choices: 1. He gets rid of some stuff or 2. I get rid of all of it!
