Boy, have we gathered a ton of stuff living here. I have been here 9  years, my hubby grew up in this house. So you can just imagine how much junk we have. Not to mention I am still finding stuff from his parents (this was their house until my FIL passed away 5 years ago, MIL passed away 7 years ago). I found two huge boxes of pictures, in my closet, that no one knows who they are.  I found old bill stubs and checks from banks that were back when my MIL first had her stroke in the early 90's. Those were stashed in my sons closet. There was even a huge box of old medical bills and reciepts in the basement. Lord knows why my FIL saved all this crap.

Like most homeschooling families, we have a T-O-N of books. We have donated a bunch (like 6+ boxes) to Got Books but we still have a ton. They are everywhere in the house too. I have 4 novels here at my desk, all but one has been read. I read a ton too. I can read a 400 page novel in one day, if the kids let me. I did today infact, but I was up at 5:30 with my asthma bugging me and hubby didn't want me to do too much to aggivate it more. I did fill up 6 boxes of stuff here at the house though and a load of laundry before needing to rest again.

We are having a huge yard sale this weekend up at my BIL house. Lots of stuff we have gathered are in need of a new home. We don't use most of what we have, so why not get some money back from them. My son alone donated 5 huge rubbermade bins of toys, while my daughter donated two. Most of her "toys" are cd's a movies anyway.

I am going to go curl up with a good book again before I tackle more packing. I'll post some things later in the week.
