Could there be more crap in my house?
I've just spent all day (really, about 6 hours) going through the zillions of boxes and junk in our back room, throwing the crap into the back yard and organizing what is left.
There is so much crap that I'm actually going to pay someone to haul it away. There's just no way I could fit it all into contractor bags and sucker the trash men to take it.
I've finally gotten it down to where there's room in our back room to move around, and we still have to go through what is left in the boxes and toss that out, or move it to our storage area (where most of the "heirlooms" are kept).
Just as I finish, the phone rings. It's my mother-in-law who announces that she's sending us a box. MORE CRAP for me to deal with!
What will it be this time? The last box that arrived contained hubby's boy scout uniform and some paperback books. What the hell are we suppose to do with a circa 1970's boy scout uniform? Put it on one of our dogs?
We've told them to just throw this stuff away, but NOOOOOO! They waste their money on postage, or haul it here in suitcases for us. They've even told us "if you're going to throw it out, at least wait until we leave." We typically open their boxes with a garbage bag at the ready, tossing the stuff from the box into the trash bag and hauling it to the curb.
I will, of course, give a detailed listing of the "heirlooms" that come in the box.
