Most of you have seen our garage. How embarrasing. We litterly had a little path from the house into the garage around junk to the washer and dryer and to the back door. It was horrible. Some of the boxes we never even went through from when we moved TEN YEARS AGO. How bad is that? Pretty bad!
Well, I can finally say we are all moved in. We cleaned out everything. Four and a half days, two full Suburban loads of donations, one dumpster size truck load of garbage and lots of going through memories later the garage is cleaned out and organized. The very best thing.....the Subaru is now IN THE GARAGE. The second best thing....C found his shop apron he had been looking for for years. He was so excited, I cried.
The girls were great these past four and a half days while we cleaned out the garage. On Sunday, while C slept, I started putting all the items I already knew I wanted to donate out on the front lawn (then into the Suburban). I also cleared out the side of the garage where the garbage cans are. There was just garbage piled there. I put that out on the front little strip of lawn....starting our garbage pile. The whole day on Sunday the girls were playing and digging through all the donation things. A few things came back into the house. They thought we were having a garage sale and set up their little store. They did not want to hear we were not having a garage sale and that no one knew we were here with our stuff. They had a great time anyway and played all day.
We are exhausted, but feel so much better that the garage is cleaned out, organized and the car is in. This will be much better to be able to have the car in the garage. Heat, rain, late nights out with the girls when C is at work. Much better.
Next project - THE OFFICE. 99% of that is my stuff. I'll start on that next week.
