I posted earlier about the dance of stuff that my family is doing right now. I feel like I spend every moment that I'm not at work and/or the kids are sleeping traversing our piles and piles of stuff. At least once a week I fill the car with unused items and drive them to a donation bin somewhere. In fact, I am right now waiting for a friend to come and empty my car of baby gear.
With every trip I feel a little lighter. I know that I am abiding by my rule, "if we're not going to use it at the new house, we're not moving it." And the real motivation comes from the fact that we're moving ourselves. I don't want to exert the energy to literally move stuff for nothing. And I know, that even without all this stuff, we will still fill that house!
Then, this morning, we get an email from our sellers' agent. They have stuff they aren't going to move, do we want it? I should say no, right? I mean, we have PLENTY of stuff between our house and my mom's. BUT IT'S FREE STUFF!! I mean, it can't hurt to at least find out what it is, right? We can always say no later...
Why is it so darn hard to say "no" to stuff?
