Say good bye, my baby...

[babbleon1]

We're cleaning out and renovating the basement apartment at our house, right? All the stuff down there has to fit upstairs. To help this happen, I am doing another round of purging, and this time, I'm cutting deep. Three tube tops (turquoise, black and peach) held from high school - bye... Various tank tops that are too small even if I lose that

I feel your pain.

In the interest of keeping our house in semi-livable condition, we've all had to make sacrifices.

Helena's lost her crib and a ton of toys that she hardly ever plays with, but she's at a possessive age and it wasn't easy for her. She will be getting a new crop of more age appropriate toys for her birthday and Christmas, and there was no place to put them.

Tim and I both have had to let go of things we liked holding onto, but no longer have practical value or sufficient sentimental value to keep.

For me it was two bags of clothes that were ever so cute on me 5 years ago, but even if I was the same weight I was back then my stretched out belly would not be attractive in, and wouldn't be very practical for chasing a two year old around. It's not just the outfits, it's kind of like saying goodbye to who I was before. I can lose weight and buy new clothes, but they will be clothes for the life I have now.

Amen... I have liked who I have been, and had a lot of fun in all those times. Sigh.

Ok, Ash is awake, I'm over it.

I really need to do a round of purging stuff myself.

However, in the interest of getting stuff off the floor, I could use that small bookcase, if it's still available.

Was fun to see you and Ash at the bookstore today :)

Hmmm - we just buried it behind two more book cases - can we give it to you in January?

That actually works better than this month :)
