As I expected I haven't done a whole lot with the 40 bag challenge so far. I've gathered about 2 bags of things from my room and the living room, but they are just sitting in the garage right now.
Ariana's room has been 1 small step at a time, so hopefully this Thurs we will finally get the floor laid down (the boards are all cut, so I just have to get the kit that makes it easier to click everything in place), and then she can start moving in and filling bags with things to get rid of and I can finally get into the girls closet to get rid of the things the girls don't need.
A fellow 40 bagger is planning a garage sale sometime in the next month, so the 6 boxes in the garage and 12 bags of clothes downstairs will all be going out to the garage sale, then the following Monday whatever clothing is left will be put out at CCD for families to pick through for free and the last of it will get dropped at Snowcap (a Protestant version of St Vincent De Paul near my house) or the Pregnancy Resource Center depending on the sizes. I do hope to at least double the amount of clothes and misc stuff by the time the garage sale happens, but worst case that is 18 bags gone!
Plus the 8-12 bags worth of junk that needs to be loaded into my dad's truck - conveniently parked in front of my house. I am still pretty limited as far as movement goes, which is the only reason the truck isn't loaded now, but hopefully this coming weekend I will get myself together enough to oversee everyone else loading the junk into the trunk.
I suppose if we didn't have activities/classes/dr appts pretty much everyday that would help too. I think we have a bit of a break next week as well as the week after for Spring break, so maybe we can get caught up then...
