It's gotten that bad this overwhelming life of mine. I've rented a big (surprisingly shiny) red dumpster which is now sitting in my driveway.
King George has been in various parts of Asia for the last week and a half (he is returning soon) and during that time I've been trying to remove the junk in this house. (What? I don't think I asked you) In fact, my neighbors and friends (and some people I don't know) have also been availing themselves of my 30 cubic feet of "junk relief" too. They've literally come out of the woodwork.
The old clothes (don't think I wouldn't give it to charity but for the embarrasing stains).
The odd toy part (ahhh...my children are not ocd)
The boxes full of miscellaneous (mother would recognize most of this).
The baby amentities (that I've tried to sell in my last two garage sales).
It all must go into that fantastically large container. I'm sure I will be happy when it's done but at the moment I'm just a little tired.
Where can I get a perscription for a martini? Can I take that with Advil?
Spring Cleaning in a new light!!! That is some serious cleaning. Forget the martini, two shots and two advil and you should have a good night!!!!

Hey, I'm getting in the car right now. I can be there in a few hours. I need to check that dumpster and make sure you aren't throwing out any of the "treasures" I've trusted to your keeping, like the Melmac dishes I got free when I bought pots and pans in the 60's, or the lava lamp that lost its lava, or the wiglet that I don't like any more but that I think would look charming on you! Step AWAY from the dumpster -- until I can get there and make sure you aren't throwing away any of those "family treasures!"

I admire how when you decide to clean, you get a dumpster and start to throw out. What I can't believe is that you still have so much that you needed a dumpster again for the 3rd time, yes this is the 3rd dumpster in 3 years. I have been in you lovely home and besides the laundry room and your office, there is no clutter. So my question is, where is all the "stuff" in the rather full dumpster coming from? :) Love ya. I hope we can see you this week for Beefcake!

Spring cleaning time, huh? I guess I better get my butt in gear too!

Wow I'm jealous.
I always talk about doing something like that, but can't find the motivation.

I'd skip the Advil - and take 2 martinis, a bottle of Gatorade and a whole pack of Mad Croc caffeinated gum. That'll fix you right up!

Advil, 2 martini's, a banana and a huge glass of water. You're all set. ;)
And I so understand. The Salvation army stood me up. Can you roll the dumpster my way when you're done with it????

Did you get lost in the dumpster? We haven't heard from you in a few days.

My son works at Goodwill. I am so furtunate that he can take all of my junk into work with him when I get up the energy to cleanse my house. Last time it was 10 bags of old clothes. The time before that it was eight boxes of miscelaneous toys and stuff from the storage closet. It doesn't make the house any cleaner, but it does make me feel as though I have accomplished something for a few days at least.
