Cleaning Memorabilia

This weeks cleaning challenge as posted by the CleanMama is to go through memorabilia.

Yay. Not.

I'll admit that I save WAY too much stuff. I can't bring myself to part with a silly hat I bought during spring break or a blurry and dark photo taken in the 5th grade of old friends. Don't ask me why, I just can't. So, I wind up with random boxes of photos and knick knacks. It's the 1 type of thing I truly hoard.

To top it off, most of my memorabilia items are stored in the attic where I never go and never look at them. It's hard to find time to get up there with 3 kids needing my attention. Why I feel that a crushed box of memorabilia in the attic that I never look at is important is beyond me. I know I can throw it away, but like with so many other things, the moment I do that is the moment I'll need it. That's how my luck works!

I'd really love to get the attic cleaned out this fall and I'm making it my goal. Its been my goal for the past few years, but hasn't happened yet. Hopefully this year I get it done once and for all. :-) I think part of the difficulty is that a lot of the stuff up there is my husband's and I can't really toss out his stuff without him knowing or minding.

Well I could, but I'd have to do it during the day, which brings me back to the original problem...
