He he heee. I figured SOMEONE would ask!

He had a garden tractor, with ALL the attachments: it mows the lawn, has an aerator and a dethatcher, a spreader for seed and fertilizer, the tiller and grader, the cart to carry stuff, weights to keep it down so it got the soil about 6 to 8 inches deep, and all the winter add ons too: the 'cabin' to keep him warm, snow plow, snow thrower, lordy I can't even NAME half the stuff! And of course the big ole trailer to tow it all around hither and yon. He only used it 2 years!
It's his 'toy,' and he INSISTS he is going to ride it again.

He wanted to bring it all down here to my house. First, I'd need a whole new shed, MY shed is much too small. Second, my YARD is a postage stamp, I live in the city; it isn't like the place he and mom had! Heck, with the little bit of snow we got THIS year, I never even used my little bitty snow blower, I just used the shovel!

Boys and their toys . . . . .

Several tips that have helped me declutter gradually:

1. Each item you are holding on to represents a person you are holding on to. Ask yourself if you are ready to let that person go (not in a mean way or anything). If you are, the 'things' are much easier to part with.

2. Make three piles/lists regarding keeping something: Yes, No, and Maybe.
When you are done, go back to the Maybe list. That one is much easier when you go back to it, for some reason.

3. Also, instead of asking if you 'want' it or 'need' it, ask yourself if you 'desire' it. That puts a whole different view on it.

4. Also, check out Flylady!
