Kidlet was looking for something yesterday, which involved moving a bunch of "I'll get to it later" stuff off the top of the piano. (Pianos are great for piling things). I was about to put the basket of loose photos back there, when I thought I would put them away(ish) instead, and THEN thought: I'm sure there's a bunch of pics here I don't actually want to keep.

So.

I went through both big baskets of loose photos. Some were old - childhood birthdays. (Kept!) Waaaaaay too many were taken by my ex; including a bunch from his now defunct photography business. There were wedding pictures, and pics of my kids as babies.

I filled up my recycling bin with pictures I don't want/need to keep.

I feel SO MUCH LIGHTER.

*happy dance*

OUT: recycling bin of photos; dumptruck load of emotional baggage 

argh!

Please forgive me. I needed to vent. The people in my house are frustrating me.

*sigh* I know it's going to take time and a concentrated effort to get everyone on the same page... but sometimes it just feels like I'm trying to plug the holes in the dam myself and more keep showing up ;( Thanks for listening.
