I'm sorry Kim! I think you are overwhelmed. I recently decided to clean out my daughter's closet and got so overwhelmed at the sheer volume of junk, that I sat on the bed and cried.

Just get mad like I do! Grab a trash bag and threaten to throw anything away that is not immediately claimed as important. If it is claimed, it must have a "home" or it goes out.

I feel for ya gal! Hope it gets easier....

Yes! I'm also buried in piles of junk! Papers and books are my worst offenders. I think the collecting-stuff gene is connected to the creativity-gene, kind of a good-with-the-bad twofer. Oh, well, we'll just keep on plugging away at it! I'm going now to re-read your posts and find the words you used that described my method of cleaning. . . happy hunting to me!
