Saying Goodbye is Hard to Do....

My project today during naptime is pulling the boys' spring/summer clothes out of the attic. While I was getting those bins down, I decided it was time to pull down my bins of clothes that are up there - the ones that don't fit anymore. Once I started losing all the weight, I put the clothes in a bin and up in the attic. David has been harrassing me about saving them for months - "why are you holding on to them?" "It's like you're saying you're going to wear them again one day" - which of course I NEVER want to do! But the practical side of me has a hard time getting rid of perfectly good (albeit WAY too big) clothes. So i'm filling up bags to go to goodwill today. That always feels good, and at the end of the project, I should have some empty bins that I'll be able to use - which I always am in need of it seems! So goodbye old clothes!!! I'll NOT be wearing you again!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I unfortunately have had to do the opposite over the last couple of years. My yard sales have included clothes sized 2 or 4. UGH - I had to come to the realization that my post 2 baby body will NEVER wear a size 2 again!!!

Congrats Katy! You worked so hard. Enjoy those new clothes from that shopping spree. I may have some clothes I could pass your way from my pre-Grayson days. Some of them may be too short due to our height difference, but some amy owrk. Without some serious dedication, I'll never need them again!
