Lesson Learned

So I learned an important lesson yesterday, to keep yourself and your belongings in order and in check. We helped Mom and Dad clean out their basement and garage yesterday and while they are no where near those that are on the show, "Hoarders", there was a lesson learned for keeping an ever watchful eye on what you accumulate and how much. One lesson was not to hide things away, out of sight, out of mind. Never has that rung so true as when we started on the garage, emptying cabinets here and there. I think we unearthed about 12 or 14 bottles of window washer fluid! Dad didn't see it but Kathy and I kept running them out to our cars to clean them outta there. Besides, their car was smooshed in a hit and run accident so I don't think he's gonna need all that right away! In any event, Bruce and I came home and I started on the basement. We have the Cerebral Palsy Society coming next week to pick up donations and I have gathered about 10 garbage bags of old clothes and shoes. And I started going through old household items that we were storing in the basement...like I said earlier, out of sight, out of mind. Gotta keep on top of all this stuff or it's gonna take over one day. Even though I finished school some time ago now, I'm always learning.
