A couple weeks ago we were getting ready for our Quarterly Inspections (the townhouses we live in have these so that they can check for damages). I honestly don't mind them, as they are a good motivator to do a good deep clean. Perfect time with it being Spring (not according to the weather - oh well), and so yes I used it as a good way to motivate me to get started on my Spring Cleaning!!!
This time I got Rob involved in it - yay me! We attacked the garage, and almost every room in our house. For those who know and love me (haha), know that I throw out or donate stuff all the time. I attribute that to not having my own home yet, and living in limited space. I am also not typically sentimental to things, the thoughts of just storing things makes me want to cringe, and I just don't like clutter. Rob and I are opposites on a few of these things. However I was glad that I was able to get him on board, with de-cluttering. yay!!!
Once we had all our "donating treasures" - we piled them all into Robs truck and headed to the D.I. At the D.I. I tried to keep Karlee distracted inside the truck and not with all the things that were being taken out of the truck to be donated. Karlee takes after her dad and is quite sentimental with "things". I failed miserably, the minute Karlee saw that Rob and the workers were taking our "treasures", Karlee started yelling and crying - saying that they were taking our stuff. I told her that it was okay and that we didn't want the stuff anymore, she was pretty devastated. I didn't have my camera, but then again, it probably would have been cruel to post a picture of Karlee so devastated. Rob did take her to go and get an ice cream cone, and that seemed to do the trick.
