How do our drawers get so full?

By drawers...I mean the ones that are part of furniture and cabinets...not the ones made of fabric! Ha!

I’ve been cleaning out drawers! Exciting huh? I’m thinking positive about our house selling by getting things cleaned out so that when the house is sold and the movers come to pack us up, I’ll have already gone through things and eliminated stuff. Also, it’s easier to clean out when my hubby is not home. HA! (just joking honey) He has a drawer in the bedroom that is full of “stuff”. So, I went through the “stuff” and eliminated enough that the drawer is now closer to empty than full. Honey, don’t freak, I did not “eliminate” anything important. Ok, I’ll stop picking on my husband.

Seriously though, is it not funny how overnight the pile of stuff seems to grow? We have a drawer in the kitchen that is a catch all drawer. It has our keys, Larry’s wallet, spare change, receipts that we just throw in there, etc. I threw away receipts from Taco Bell, Arby’s, the Commissary, etc. Just for ha ha’s I looked at the dates on some of them….some were from 07! Why? I also found a roll of 110 film!?!? 110!? That has not been made in 20+ years. Anyway, now our drawers are cleaned out but everything else is a mess. It’s frustrating how in order to clean up you have to make a big ole mess!

My goodness, I’ve just sat here and talked about our cluttered drawers! Oh well, they are not cluttered now. Ha! Hey, it’s better than some of the entertainment on TV!

I’ll try to come up with a better subject tomorrow.
