On turning the tables

I’m exhausted, certain types of tension are high, I’d got (what seems to be going in the direction of) a migraine and I slept for about three hours last night.

Who am I kidding, I’ve not gotten more than five hours sleep in at least a month. And I only had one cup of coffee today. Hmm. Maybe that sleep loss and caffeine deficit are to blame – or maybe it was the toddler that (I shit you not) cried and screamed for nearly all of the two-hour trip home from the best princessy teddy bear party we’ve ever attended.

More about that, later. And potentially the cutest picture ever.

Point is, I’m wicked tired and empty of creativity. So I’m tossing a question out to you all:

If, like me, you were feeling the internal pressure to move, flee, run far-far-away from your current living situation and you wanted to be proactive and toss out everything, practically…what would you keep?

    Okay.. of course the kids.. easy.. but then it would be my favorite jeans.. the two drawers filled with the kids favorite outfits i have collected since they were born.. my camera and my lap top.. everything else can stay.

  • I'd take our photos, computers, a few select books (which ones to take would probably be the most difficult decision), a few of the kids favorite mementoes, only the clothes we wear on a regular basis and the pets. I could seriously leave most of what we have and not miss it. I would love to chuck the vast majority of amassed junk, and move into a place half the size we have now. I am so tired of clutter.

  • Eve: You totally just hit the nail on the head. EXACTLY how I'm feeling. Oh, plus this crushing weight on my chest kind of thing. But hey, maybe that's just the heart condition.

  • Hockeyman: Hmmm. I find myself without witty comment.

  • Ho: I totally saw that coming.

  • Janet: kids and memories? Is that aboot right?

  • Mountain Mama: good to know that dental hygeine is in your future!

  • l: what about Annie?

  • MomBabe: Do you have a lot of makeup? How come you would choose to keep it?

  • Ellie: I think it's awesome that you included sanity. No one else thought of that. Wait, does that mean you or they are insane? Thanks for commenting!

  • Vic: that's leaving out most of the clutter - toys and gaming!

  • Maggie: I think you should really look for that ring. It's gotta be around there, somewhere.

  • Xbox: I know what I'M taking, are you saying you'd take someone's kid and their underwears? That might be frowned upon, in a Calvin Klein-esque fashion.

  • Miss, would you take ALL of your son's stuff? I'm debating what else of Isobel's can be weeded out.

  • RLM: no shirt?

  • Eve Grey

    My few favourite clothes for myself and kids, favourite books, photos, baby mementos, a few sentimental knick-knacks thrown in a huge blanket, tied with a stick and thrown over my shoulder hobo-styles. God, the thought of that is so appealing it almost makes me anxious. I am sick of shit, clutter, crap. It's all just stuff to pick up and out away and start all over again. Ugh.

  • yeah, gotta keep the kids.

    other than that? whatever the kids feel is precious (confined to one box!), the laptop, backup hard drive and photos.

    are you sensing a theme here? ;-)
