I wanted to make room so Lizzie could bring her stuff, I emptied the bathroom, the closet etc. What I wanted to keep I put in boxes and stored them in the shed and garage.
She came and brought several boxes of her things, some she left in her bedroom, some in the office and some in the garage.
Then we started culling and tidying the washroom and closet, then the kitchen. We basically emptied everything and threw away half empty and past the date stuff. Both cleaning supplies and food supplies. We also went thru kitchen things and found we had some double up, for instance 2 toasters, some pans, etc. So again we threw away some things, and donated others. I have to admit it was a little hard to get rid of some unnecessary stuff that I had had forever, but I did it! Lizzie is very good at organizing and tidying, so I let her put things away and when she called me to check where everything was located, I was surprised to see how much more space there was, and how neat everything looked. Now things are where they are supposed to be, all together and easy to find. Before if I wanted a can of tuna for instance, I looked in the pantry, in the drawers, in the cabinet, until I found one here and one there, now things are organized :)
She had taken care of all the boxes in her room and got everything in place, and today she brought in all her boxes from the garage to her room, and by the end of the day everything was in place, some in her room and some in the shed.!!!
Now what's left are my boxes :D I also want to go thru the shed and get rid and organize some of the things there. I think it will take me a lot longer than it took Lizzie. I get attached to things and as I said before sometimes is hard to get rid of things that have been around for a long time and have some memories for me.
The weather has been very nice and we may go to the beach tomorrow and rest and relax a little.
