October 2

Well, my house is a wreck, I'm completely exhausted, and I'm drowning in "stuff." For the first time in my life, I want to have less stuff, and it seems to be avalanching onto me, mostly in the form of my husband bringing in all this stuff that his clients give him. You wouldn't believe what people will just give away. Some of it is really good. A lot of it is junk, of course, and it's filling up my basement and garage. I don't know how to convince him that it's too much. He has no idea what it's like to be a mom who just wants an orderly house. There was something else I wanted to put in here but I can't remember what it was now. Guess it wasn't that important. Maybe I'll remember later.
