SERIOUSLY - I was a big enough pack rat BEFORE I became a Mom. Now that we have Nory, the hoarding situation has reached an embarrassingly severe level. But hey - the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, right?
Today was TOY DAY in the grand-O "purge/organize" scheme we have going on. We went through the entire toy box (all three/four/five? of them) and made a "throw out pile", a "give away pile", a "wash and store for next baby pile", and a "wash and keep in rotation pile". It seems we've received most of the toys as gifts and have several that were given to us as "surprise gifts" from random places.
Please see Exhibit A:
We have our good old pal "Prospy" the mucus man. A serious EW, given to us from the hospital as an advertisement for our "wet cough" medicine. We have some strange-looking stuffed man that is apparently famous on animated television, but his name currently escapes me. He was welcomed into our home following our lovely flight on Qatar Airways. Then we have the dainty wee fairy from the Toronto Sheraton Hotel - the one toy that puts up with MORE THAN HER FAIR SHARE of lectures from Nory. There's just something about her that makes Nory tick and it's rather hilarious to watch Nory go at her. I wonder what she's saying....(both of them!)...
Anyways. You'll be pleased to know that Prospy, Strange-Looking Stuffed Man, and Dainty Fairy made their way to the "give away pile" and we have no regrets at this point in time. YA, YOU HEARD ME. NO REGRETS!!!!
We're taking baby steps over here. It's progress, but I still wouldn't be surprised to see a television crew show up at the door with a professional de-hoarder in tow.........
