The Spoils of War - Part 3

My house is a wreck. We got the kids (L&L - son & DiL) moved into Súl's (daughter's) bedroom, and Súl into the apartment - took most of last Sunday to do all the furniture switcheroo'ing. We have our dumpster outside now and a quarter full (mostly because it's been raining here a lot, and we aren't gonna haul stuff out and get drenched.)

My folks - the One bless them and keep them - were packrats!!!!! We discovered this when we first "cleaned out" the apartment two and a half years ago to make room for L&L to move in, ostensibly to take care of Mom's aging cat. We're even more convinced of it now that we're going through all the stuff I just couldn't put myself through back when. Decks of cards, address lables from various charities, twist-ties and bread-bag-clamps. I tell ya: I'm learning what NOT to leave for MY kids when they have to go through MY stuff someday!!

Anyway, my sofa is covered with stuff going to a rummage sale. We aren't halfway through the garage yet, about 1/2 the way through the apartment, and haven't really starting with the rest of the house. The job of just generally getting rid of crud is overwhelming. Hopefully, when the dust settles, my life will be much less cluttered with "stuff".

All this in prelude to the next chapter of Spoils of War. Enjoy.
