All weekend we put away the regular decorations and started pulling out the Christmas stuff. I went through both kids&#8217; rooms, purging them of old toys and clothes that were no longer in use. It felt so good! Whenever I &#8220;purge&#8221; our closets I always feel lighter. That TV show, <i>Hoarders<\/i>, is my secret addiction. Every time I watch an episode I always want to frantically clean and scrub my house.<\/p>\n<p>When all was said and done, we wound up filling the back of my hubby&#8217;s pickup truck with donations for goodwill. When he took them over, though, he was told they no longer take toys.<\/p>\n<p>Say what?! What kind of a goodwill place doesn&#8217;t take toys?<\/p>\n<p>So we&#8217;re still looking for a home for them. But, we did get the majority of the Christmas things up&#8211;only three trees and the outside decorations are left to go.<\/p>\n<p>Our master bathroom renovation (it was only a cosmetic makeover) is moving along at a snail&#8217;s pace. Seems our job is so small it&#8217;s a giant pain in everyone&#8217;s butt to come over here and do what needs to be done. The rest of the house is looking cozy and Christmasy though, so that makes me happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I warned you last week that it was the start of the Christmas season at our house, so this post shouldn&#8217;t come as a surprise.
