When you haven't done a full clean for 2 1/2 years, expect to fill the garbage can the day they dump it.
Life has a way of getting away from you. I've gotten first-hand knowledge of this as I've been going through the house after finishing my final semester at college. It comes in the form of garbage bags.
Do you realize how many bags of garbage you can fill when you are going through kids' school papers from last year? I'm not talking before Christmas break. The 2013-14 school year.
It makes me wonder what I was thinking every time I emptied a folder. And then set the papers to the side.
Not only that mess, but just a general pile up of papers. And books. And all kinds of crap.
I am not generally that kind of person. I don't like clutter. I don't consider myself a hoarder (although I do save certain things). I just had other things to think about and do so lots of things went by the wayside.
The worst part is that, after this many years of no one doing a ton of "extra" things, no one wants to get their hands dirty and do them now either.
Why am I putting this out there? Potentially embarrassing myself by showing how unorganized this organized person has become? Accountability.
Now I just need to get it done to prove I can.
