the neverending closet cleaning project

it all starts with one simple thought....

i will help my mom clean out some of the junk that is in the house.

never, never think of thinking this thought....

my mom is not a messy person, by any means- so i thought a littl quick help to organize it all couldn't be too bad...well was i wrong.....

one closet leads to another closet, you can't just stop at one. then you realize that you are not just cleaning out some of your mom's items, but there are things there in piles from my two sisters (who do not live here and haven't lived here for some time)...old paper work, old pictures, old yearbooks, old bills, old cell phone boxes...doesn't anyone throw these things away?

i have to happily admit that i have yet to find a pile of paper work that belongs to me...a comforting thought that i am not the burden of junk that is stocked in some of these closets...

hopefully as i dig through and weed out, it will all make life here a little less cluttered and my mom can know that the baggage left in this house is hers and hers alone and not my sisters'!
