Cleaning out our basement
Well I started in the basement. OMG I can't believe the things you kept and the items you have multiples of. Why? We must have 12 rolls for extension cords. 25 extension cords for outside alone! Enough light bulbs to light the block. Every size, wattage and kind you can imagine. Oh is this going to be a job. I have been going through photos. Oh I found our reception photos. Oh we were so young and happy. It was nice seeing them I also have all our cards we have given each other over the years. We do, did love each other huh. Gosh I want you home. I'm thinking of selling the house and trying to get a condo in Chestnut Grove. Are you flipping out, lol. That place is special to me. It where we met, fell in love, got married and lived the first 3 years of our marriage. I know it won't be the same but I just feel like it's the best place for me since this house needs so much TLC to keep it looking good. Well I hurt everywhere from the lifting, pushing, pulling and carrying I've done today. It's scary I had a lot of trouble breathing as I did all the work but I am determined to get it done. God willing.

I\'ve got a full basement and I can relate. Good luck to you. Chris
Chris, I hope for your sake it doesn\'t have years of stuff in it like mine. I have boxes that were put in the basement the day we moved in but we never opened. Oh what a job. I hope I can get it done.
Well today my daughter and her husband took our riding mower. I cried as they drove away with it on the trailor. He loved his John Deere. Seems I get rid of more of him everyday and it makes me feel horrible and makes me cry. Even my neighbor saw it and had tears. She asked if I was okay. I lied and said yes. I didn\'t want to break down completely in front of her. She very kind and sensitive. When I got in the house I fell apart crying. I hate crying. I think I hate everything right now. SIGH!
I completely understand. me and the kids are moving in 2 weeks and everytime I give something of his to a family member I cry because I feel like im betraying him.
Oh it was bad today. I went back downstairs and started bringing some things up to throw out as the trash man comes tomorrow. I threw his softball gloves and balls and trophy\'s in the trash. I was crying again, remembering the many softball games we attended and he was always MVP of the season. Oh where did time go. Why do such terrible things happen. Makes me afraid of what\'s to come. I should just make my screen name crybaby.
Sending hugs.
