In order to not be too sidetracked or overwhelmed during the challenge, I made sure I have laundry out of the way, fresh sheets on the beds and I have a meal plan. I will also tell the kids that we will go through their rooms together and that they should be prepared to part with things.
Stuffing things into rooms that have not been tackled is not allowed. Stuffing it into rooms that have been taken care off will results in a 2 hour attic penalty. And that would REALLY hurt.
Realizing I was a hoarder was both a shock and a relief. A shock, because nobody wants to have a mental disorder. A relief, because my situation finally had a name. I found people who could relate. Knowing the problem helps solving it. I can step aside and look at the situation from a more neutral point of view. Why am I blogging about it? 2 reasons. 1. Putting my thoughts into words helps me think more clearly. 2. If this helps just one, who is like me, see the light it was more than worth it!
